Well this was enjoyable. Thanks for everything Mark!

100 years ago, why did Sir Edward Carson not want to be N Ireland's first PM?

His great-grandson @ecarsontc explains.

‘A quarter of Britain’s native plants now at risk of extinction’

No surprises here. Our electric-green countryside has been drained of colour everywhere. To see even one wildflower amid the monoculture is a small miracle.

The catastrophic loss of life and damage caused by the Valencia floods are to a significant extent *self-inflicted*. Scientists called it decades ago. We will see more of this.

For all the stats, I’m actually quite confident at the moment that the CofE could actually win back Gen Z - for the reasons discussed in this article but also if we help them to an encounter with the Living God & the glorious mystery of faith.

“Enormously exciting - Salisbury Plain farm to create biggest natural grassland in southern England”

We are at the beginning of an era of nature restoration. What a time to be alive. https://t.co/eUzvokoyuz

With these lovely 'Herald' crocuses flanking an emerging 'Lion King' Iris I have created a botanical version of the Lyon Court! A little bit of heraldry in the garden 🛡️⚜️

For the last month we've been praying for Julie and her two daughters. Julie and baby were in hospital and things were very touch and go. But with a month of desperate prayer we have our Churchwarden back at home and Lillie-Ann with her sister. God is Good.

[Eóin Tennyson MLA @EoinTennyson]

Really excited to be at the launch of my friend @KateNicholl’s campaign today.

Recent elections point to Alliance being the biggest party in the new Belfast South & Mid Down constituency.

Kate is one of the nicest people you will ever meet and would make a first class MP. 💛

[Tracy Edwards @TracyEdwardsMBE]

It is almost impossible to put into words how ill thought out this campaign is. I, and I know many other survivors, would never endorse the idiocy of these words. Still shaking my head in disbelief.

Very much looking forward to this: @JusBrierley is a wonderfully smart, tolerant and patient interviewer https://t.co/lCzpKS6oNd

My Romanian Uber driver is taking his daughter back to Romania on Sunday for urgent medical treatment, because the medical treatment there is better and quicker to access than the NHS.

He has lived and paid taxes here for 10 years.

Unwrap that one.

@CraigPhilbrick @WorldBookDayUK Goodnight Mr Tom for me

[Toby E Carson @ecarsontc]

Feeling a bit fragile tonight after the extraordinary cost of a new car battery… also feeling quite manly after replacing it myself (it involved removing a whole heap of rubber and plastic between bonnet & windscreen)

[Toby E Carson @ecarsontc]

@WalkerMarcus @Telegraph And on top of that it’s behind a paywall too!

[Toby E Carson @ecarsontc]

@FrDidymus Do you know what, at a local level, I’m just not sure this is true, I’m glad to say.

[Toby E Carson @ecarsontc]

Those magic relighting candles… do they do giant versions? Can’t find any.

Lough Neath, the largest lake in the British Isles, is now a deadzone.

If Earth had come with operating instructions, “don’t poison the water” would have been high up the list, along with “don’t mess with the thermostat”, and “don’t kill all the animals”. https://t.co/gEYyTwcOMJ
