🚨BREAKING: This is Mervin Raudabaugh, an American farmer who turned down $15M to build a data center on his land. Instead, he sold it for $2M to a farmland trust to protect it as agricultural land forever.
Atlantic bluefin tuna were fished out of the North Sea in the 1960s. It's taken SIX decades for them to return. A species comes back from the brink, and the fishing industry and mainstream media celebrate its death.
Please sign the Govt petition to end this cruelty.
Sadly, this disgusting wildlife crime is on the rise, human beings targeting innocent animals with slingshots, just because they want a target.
Animals are not your target.
Beavers are the Swiss Army knife of re wilding. Good not only for a myriad of other species, fish, insects, birds and mammals - but also good for flood and drought prevention. We need a Beaver national program I reckon. We just released some into East Sussex, for the first time in 400 years. They got straight to work, what they do is amazing.

🇺🇸 Trump: "We are canceling $15 million in Alzheimer’s research grants."
🇺🇸 Mamdani: "This man has all the money to wage and fund Israel’s wars, but not to give benefits to Americans. I have never seen a leader so toothless." 🔥
Mamdani is now Trump’s biggest political headache. And the most popular politician in the US 🔥👏
Today marked one month since I became Prime Minister.
Cutting tax on electricity bills. Capping bus fares at £2 in England. Making subscriptions easier to cancel. Cracking down on fake discounts. Giving 14-year-olds early access to technical education. Opening 159 new mental health centres. Investing to get all rough sleepers off the street this winter. Supporting farmers affected by the drought. Cutting business rates for pubs, clubs, and music venues. Shutting down 13 more asylum hotels. Giving mayors a share of income tax. Extending the 16-17 Saver Railcard. Bringing buses in the West Midlands under public control. Fast-tracking new homes near train stations. Cleaning up illegal waste dumps. Giving communities and councils more power over what opens on their high street. Opening No10 North. Giving disabled people 24/7 free bus travel. Delivering the biggest transfer of power, funding and responsibility from Westminster in a generation.
It's a start, but I’m not complacent. I know that people need more and I promise that I will do everything I can to make yours and your family’s lives better. We're doing things differently to give people more breathing space and bring back hope.
Here’s to the next month.
Pay attention @TiceRichard, you might think that this ‘weather’ is nice - good for grapes. Half a billion a year already in lost productivity in London alone, much more to come. The climate crisis is an economic crisis wrapped in extreme weather. We need more action and less fossil fool politicians.

🚨 NEWS! We’re taking the Government to court.
Today, the High Court granted River Action permission to challenge the Government over its failure to publish a clear policy for dealing with failing water companies.
Why does this matter?
With Thames Water facing serious financial instability and ongoing performance failures, the public deserves to know how and when the Government would step in.
💧 Our water is an essential public service.
🔍 Decisions about its future cannot be made behind closed doors.
⚖️ The Government must be transparent and accountable.
Today’s ruling means our challenge can now proceed to a full hearing - an important step towards greater transparency and accountability in England’s water industry.
We’ll keep pushing to make sure decisions about the future of our water are made openly, accountably and in in the best interest of the public and environment.

For years, communities have been left to live alongside mountains of illegally dumped waste while criminal gangs profit.
It’s just not right.
So we’re cleaning up some of the worst sites in the country.
But we’re not just cleaning up after the criminals, we’re going after them. More officers, stronger powers, and much bigger fines.
These places have been ignored for too long. Not anymore.
There’s been a little rain here in East Anglia overnight. That earthy smell when rain hits parched ground that most people adore is called petrichor. One of its components is geosmin, a benign compound from soil bacteria that human noses can detect in lower concentrations than sharks can detect blood in water. Seeking out water on dry plains was essential for our ancestors, so you’re waking up a pretty cool ancient brain pathway when you’re sniffing that good niff. Here’s a geosmin molecule:
These are the latest allegations in a mountain of unanswered questions concerning Reform's donors and finances. Nigel Farage cannot dodge them forever.
He needs to stop making excuses and come clean with the public.
🚨 BREAKING: The Supreme Court just rejected Trump AGAIN in the E. Jean Carroll case.
A jury found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming her.
He appealed.
The Supreme Court said no.
He asked them to reconsider.
They just said no AGAIN.
E. Jean Carroll has already collected $5.63 MILLION from Trump.
Accountability matters.

Today I have resigned from Reform UK and also I have resigned as a Councillor. I cannot in good conscience support the Making Welfare Work policy. These changes will cost lives of people especially those who have suicidal ideation.
Richard Tice’s constituency, Boston & Skegness, has over 10,000 people claiming PIP. That costs £79 million a year, while 21.6% of the working-age population is not in work.
Nigel Farage’s constituency, Clacton, has 10,442 people claiming PIP. That costs £77 million a year, while over 24% of the working-age population is not in work.
Sarah Pochin’s constituency, Runcorn & Helsby, has over 9,000 people claiming PIP. That costs £69 million a year, while over 19% of the working-age population is not in work.
Lee Anderson’s constituency, Ashfield, has around 9,058 people claiming PIP. That costs £69 million a year, while almost 20% of the working-age population is not in work.
Robert Jenrick’s constituency, Newark, has 6,011 people claiming PIP. That costs £46 million a year, while over 12% of the working-age population is not in work.
Abolishing PIP and treating people who haven't worked for a year like criminals by making them do 20 hours of community service will hit Reform voting constituencies the hardest.
I contacted Reform run council (Thurrock) 6 days ago including it’s leader.
The temporary accommodation of a 38 year old British man with a stage 4 incurable brain tumour was broken into - police were called.
Tonight another attempted break in took place whilst he was home. Police were called.
I’m concerned for his safety and nobody from the council is responding.
I’m tweeting this as proof incase this situation escalates.
It rained for an hour or so overnight, the first rain we've seen in quite some time.
Yet it was enough for @SouthernWater to release sewage in Hythe, thus rendering their beach unsafe to swim today.
Chalk streams are among the world’s rarest habitats, so it was great to explore some with @SouthCambs this summer 💧🌿 The Awarded Watercourses team joined our Conservation Officer Rob Mungovan, to boost their knowledge of these special ecosystems and the challenges they face.
