I hope everyone under 30 will show their disgust at this blank refusal by both major parties to give our youth the joy of mobility in Europe. Craven surrender to a minority of ageing Europhobes.Sunak rejects offer of youth mobility scheme between EU and UK https://t.co/UA3xCCzBbn

Why is it that we have to fight a constant battle in the UK, just to let beautiful and vital #wildflowers grow?! It seems everywhere I go in northern France, most of the roadside verges are left, without any impact on safety and a HUGE benefit for #wildlife. It’s nonsensical😖🐝

When your house is on fire it’s not particularly sagacious to throw petrol on it.

Word of the day is ‘snollygoster’ (19th century): one who abandons their principles for short-term gain or power.

For the love of sanity, @BBCNews … with all the fires, floods, pollution of coastal ecosystems, biodiversity loss, and changes to global ocean currents you COULD be covering, stop sensationalising everything this egregious turbot* does …

Do better!

Late last night a further 100-150 precious and gentle pilot whales were butchered in the 7th Faroe Islands hunt of 2023. This takes the total of this species massacred this year in the archipelago to a sickening +-800.

That the EU/UK sits back a watches protected cetaceans slaughtered for an outdated tradition on their doorstep by a protectorate of a member state (Denmark) is nothing short of a disgrace and a dereliction of duty.

What a load of fear-mongering rubbish . @BBCLookEast I suggest speaking to a botanist next time you look to run an article demonising our native flora . . . we all need to do better .

Our #insects are declining, we are in a climate emergency & #nature needs our help. So why @Poundland are you still selling these WEED KILLERS that actually KILL BEES & other insects?? 😡 You could make a better name for yourself by advocating #gardening for #wildlife… 🐝🦋🦔🐛

Thus is absolutely scandalous. I'm sorry, but it's the only polite word I could come up with. Admitting the intention to make it difficult for non Tory voters...????? BBC News - Local elections 2023: Voter ID backfired on Tories, says Rees-Mogg

We love wild lawns! Here are just a few reasons why you should leave the mower in the shed:

🦋 Wildflowers feed moths & butterflies
🐝 Mining bees make their homes in undisturbed grass
🐸 Frogs shelter in long grass
