Rough sleeping is to be decriminalised in England and Wales after 200 years. Labour will repeal the Vagrancy Act 1824 to ensure rough sleeping is no longer a criminal offence. It comes alongside an extra £233 million in funding for homeless services, taking the total this year to nearly £1 billion.

New Reform UK chairman Dr David Bull "I'm very anxious about the rise in people that think it is okay to hide their faces. We had a conversation yesterday about whether that was the burqa, crash helmets, scarves or whatever." Does that include facemasks? Do people think these things through?

Just missed #wildflowerhour again! But this was unexpected this week on a trip to the N Wales coast at Point of Ayr. Big clump of Lilium pyrenaicum (Pyrenean Lily) in the dunes with Stonechat for decoration, as if needed.

This photo says it all. Russian missiles killed 4 people overnight in Kyiv - including, appallingly, 3 first responders as they tried to rescue civilian victims of earlier attacks. Putin will not stop murdering Ukrainian civilians unless forced. European leaders must act. 🇺🇦
