WIN: High Court throws out £8m lawsuit over tax avoidance investigation | Good Law Project We have successfully defended award-winning journalist Dan Neidle from an ‘oppressive’ claim which tried to silence him – but the law still needs reform

We've won the UK's first ever SLAPP suit - acting for @danneidle.bsky.social - and made some really important law protecting the right to call out barristers whose misconduct facilitates aggressive tax avoidance.

Reaching net zero by 2050 ‘cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’ Climate change committee finds move to renewable energy would also bring health, economic and security benefits

Awks for Tories & Reform who want to keep us hooked on fossil fuels: new @theCCCuk report shows transition to net zero will cost less than a single oil shock - £4bn a year - as well as delivering health & security benefits

A stained glass panel constructed of two pieces of richly coloured glass. The lower part is golden and contains a black engraving type image of a hare diving into long meadow grass. It looks as if she has come from the door of the thatched cottage that is nestled in the crook of the hill in the upper piece of glass. The sky is luminous, bright evening colours. A couple of fruit trees flank the cottage and two crows fly in the sky.

Fanny Bullock Workman (1859-1925) was a geographer and cartographer, a women's rights actvist and mountaineer. She was one of the very first women to climb the Himalayan mountains, and together with her husband, she cycled through Spain, Syria and Turkey for ten years. #CelebratingWomen

Heartfelt thanks to @steverutt.bsky.social & @britishwildlife.bsky.social for an incredible review. ‘Nobody else writes with this degree of sensitivity, the big picture interspersed with telling detail, the perfect descriptive phrase that is her knack & the unhurried, farm-pace of her narrative.’1/2

More hares coming for March! As it’s a full moon here’s a panel that I made a couple of years ago which combined many of my favourite things. This one is called Solstice Hare and a reminder of the colour and energy that is coming as we head into spring.
Available as a print. See my linktree. 🥰🌿

Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran.

Iraq lessons must be learned.
Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe.

Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.
