The Strait of Hormuz is perfectly safe...
"This is for everybody. It’s not just for one section of society. What we are trying to show is that it will not only work best for you now... but will be there for you for the rest of your life. You don’t need to make an appointment with nature.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...
After a long day in committee, I’m feeling utterly revived by seeing this great clip of @greenpartyhan.bsky.social making her maiden speech in Parliament.
Her voice is so very, very needed.

These findings from the Climate Change Committee tell us something we already knew - Net Zero is an affordable route to a more secure, and sustainable future. Us Greens will always fight for a greener, fairer future that serves people and planet. 💚🌍

Currently, Britain is wind-powered. And yet Farage and Badenoch want us to double down on fossil fuel dependency.
What a study - nearly 15,000 people followed up 4-8 years after a *sole* antibiotic treatment and some *still* had disrupted gut microbiome diversity. Pretty incredible. We’ve always been taught that such disruptions are ephemeral.

ANALYSIS: Badenoch and Farage might not want to admit it, but Conservative and Reform plans to scrap net zero whilst boosting the North Sea would actually make the UK even more reliant on gas imports 🤔

When the hard-right GB News recognise reality and talk about a "Donald Trump problem" for Nigel Farage & Reform UK they really are in major trouble.
For years Ukraine tried to warn the world about russia, about disinformation, and about how war itself was changing. Many leaders brushed it aside. Now the same countries are asking Ukraine for help.
Delayers and obstructionists keep saying decarbonisation will be too difficult and expensive
But people who know what they're talking about keep showing that it's the cheapest, simplest and least disruptive option we have
Farage and Badenoch are absolute clowns: startled by the entirely foreseeable series of events they failed to foresee. A demonstration of their total lack of judgement.
📌 ICYMI — Nigel Farage’s Humiliating Iran U-Turn Should Be a Lesson for Keir Starmer
By sticking to the correct and popular position on Donald Trump's Iran war, the Prime Minister has now forced his political opponents into an embarrassing reversal, argues Adam Bienkov
🙅 Tell your decision makers: #HandsOffNature!
Delaying the EU Deforestation Regulation = 50 million trees lost per year
Enforcing it = 17 million tonnes of CO₂ less + benefits for our health & nature.
When leaders won’t do the math, your action is essential.

The @theguardian.com view on the Iran crisis exposing UK’s energy vulnerability: clean power offers protection
- The war reveals UK’s exposure to volatile fossil fuel prices. More North Sea drilling will not shield households, building green energy will

I’m trying to share positive nature stuff but, well, in the enveloping global darkness, this from Simon Tisdall is spot on. We desperately need wisdom, empathy and restraint from our global leaders and, in Britain, courage to step away from Trump. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:
You may have heard that Spain is alone. They’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed.
We are not alone — we are the first. Those who will end up alone are the ones defending the indefensible.
A huge #biodiversity "discovery" (scare quotes because indigenous people always knew it was there).
You know what comes next: "lowland forests are under pressure from logging and agricultural expansion"

The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.
Labour could bring back our water into public hands but they care more about investors than they do about you
I visited Carrifran Wildwood myself last summer, and the scale of what has been achieved there truly has to be seen to be believed.
At least 400,000 acres is now being rewilded in Scotland: an incredible 2.1% of the whole country, and rapidly increasing all the time.
Come ON, Ireland!!
A male Wheatear fresh in looking like he owns the place already.
A male Wheatear off to stir someone else’s soul for the afternoon …
With everything else kicking off around us, that these little guys make the effort to come here for the summer and arrive looking like this … blimey, nothing else really matters, does it? With 3 Sand Martins at a glorious Marazion this am

The rate of change of renewables in China is accelerating. Solar has passed wind in generation. Fossil fuel generation is decreasing. Renewables will pass fossil fuels by the early 2030's or sooner. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋
A very mistaken list of the last 12 presidents of the United States and their years in office produced by the Ph.D level scholar known as ChatGPT-5. Includes John F. Katwady, president 1991-1968; George W. bush, president 220Z-1999), and Bill Christen, president 1999-2001
I've seen this on Bluesky and had to try it myself. The image below was the response to the prompt: "Show me a diagram of the US presidents since Herbert Hoover, with their names and years in office under their photos" Bravo, OpenAI, bravo.

Good question: Why is there so little transparency over royal finances?
"The Palace line is that these royal financial affairs are “private”, although critics of this secrecy argue that this wealth stems from the public roles they were born into." (£)

Keir Starmer has written to all Labour MPs attacking the Green Party for embracing "divisive" and "sectarian" politics
I'm picking up concern among Labour MPs about how this letter will come across to people who have voted/are tempted to vote Green, as it could risk further alienating these voters
