The most corrupt President in U.S. history calling in a favor from the most corrupt President of the most corrupt sports organization in the world. Surprising the whole planet wasn't sucked into this singularity of corruption.

More research showing climate models are not in line with NASA CERES satellite observations.

The rate of global heat uptake is increasing much faster than in the real world than in models.

This should be front page news everywhere, but won't be covered anywhere.

Yet another Hen Harrier 'disappears' from Ruabon grouse moor in North Wales - her satellite tag had been "deliberately cut off".

1/5 🇮🇹 Expansion of migratory bird hunting approved in Italy

Thanks to Meloni, Italy is moving forward with a massive overhaul of its hunting laws, opening up protected areas and easing restrictions on hunting migratory birds like songbirds and greylag geese ...

@AndyBurnhamGM Stability! Now? 🤪 The country in general will not forget or forgive this completely unnecessary coup.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

It can take many leaders years to grow into the statesman you became in just two years.

European and Ukrainian security is stronger because of you.

Thank you, dear Keir.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Keir, thank you for all our cooperation, your support, and the joint decisions that have helped make our Europe and our protection of life stronger.

The United Kingdom has been, is, and will remain among the world’s leaders. Here in Ukraine, we deeply value Britain, and every meeting and every conversation we have had has always been filled with real substance.

Thank you for always being in touch, always engaged, and always striving to do what is needed and what will truly help.

I wish the United Kingdom and all British people every success as well as realisation of your national goals. We have confidence in Britain.

Keir, you are always a welcome guest in Ukraine.

We're not choosing the captain of a tiddlywinks club. We're choosing a Prime Minister. Anyone who wants that office should face real scrutiny and set out a vision for the whole country. The public deserve nothing less.

[Dr Charlie Fraud @Drcharliefraud]

Starmer is a good PM.
He just pissed off the right people (Press barons, billionaires and fascists) who have the power and tools to make the politically illiterate believe he isn’t doing a good job.
The Daily Fail, X and GB “News” are examples of the propaganda.

PLEASE put water out for wildlife this week, and keep it topped up.

It will save lives 🦔🐀🦋🐇🐝🐸🦡🐞🐌🦇🕷️🐦‍⬛🦊

This weekend is set to be a scorcher in many parts of the UK 🌡️☀️

Remember, trees don't just provide shade in the heat; they also release fine water vapour when they are hydrated. Keep your trees watered to reap the most benefits!

You are solely responsible for all of this disgrace, @FIFAWorldCup.

[James Wright @JPBWFarm]

Almost 8,000 of you have signed my letter to protect our moorland ponies.
A quango wants Dartmoor's grazing cut, condemning up to 9 in 10 of them.
We don't hate Natural England enough. Bat tunnels, fish discos, and they still can't protect biodiversity. We are all poorer for it.

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

Dartmoor's hill ponies have grazed those commons for longer than there has been a country called England. Fewer than a thousand are left, down from six thousand a generation ago. The United Nations listed them as endangered in 2023. So, naturally, the body charged with protecting nature has decided to get rid of nine in ten of the survivors.

There is a process, obviously.

Natural England's new grazing contracts now count the ponies in the same bucket as the cattle and sheep. A commoner with a fixed quota has a choice: keep a semi-wild pony worth nothing at market, or use the slot for a lamb he can sell. Guess which one survives the spreadsheet. The rest are gathered in the autumn drifts, and with nowhere to put thousands of unhandled moorland ponies, the next stop is the abattoir.

Natural England would like it noted that it has not ordered a cull. It has merely built a machine whose only output is a cull, switched it on, and handed the bolt gun to a farmer so the fingerprints land elsewhere. Very tidy.

And now the funny part. The pony is the best tool on the entire moor for eating Molinia, the coarse purple grass strangling Dartmoor into a brown monoculture. Cattle and sheep won't touch it. The ponies hoover it down and clear the ground for the orchids, the wildflowers and the insects behind them. Remove the ponies and the moor chokes into precisely the lifeless scrubland the contract was meant to prevent.

So the conservation strategy, in full: protect the habitat by deleting the animal that maintains the habitat. A masterclass.

Better still, Natural England's own Fursdon review looked at this exact question and told them, in plain English, not to lump ponies in with cattle and not to cut pony numbers. They read it, praised it, said they fully supported it, then did the precise opposite.

Four thousand years these animals have run Dartmoor with no committee and no contract. They could be gone within one, and the people who did it will write it up as a win for nature.

'Somerset farmers to benefit from new £50 million flood resilience fund'

Translation, an additional £50 million of *your* money will spent keeping water out of what should be England's most extraordinary wetland.

King Canute, anyone?

@birdshannah @RhiannahWTP We have to bring in the bill of Ecocide now. These developers don't give a damn about wildlife or the environment.
We are looking at the deliberate killing of chicks, eggs and most likely adult Swifts. For what ? Profit & greed.Surrey Police have not charged anyone with crimes.

When they should have reconfiguring the building.
Upgrading the building.
Finding alternative uses so the swifts could have been safe.
Hateful human beings.
