I wonder how Trump would react if someone started to build homes on his golf course and shot anyone who protested. That's what is happening in the West Bank as "settlers" steal land.

England's NHS leaders ordered to make £7bn cut to healthcare. 6.24m people awaiting 7.46m hospital appointments. 300,000 a year die waiting. Due to delays 2.8m chronically ill, unable to work. Govt cutting benefits, rolling back spending. Misery is a political choice. archive.ph/0NDSV

Appeal Court very slightly reduces sentences on some of the 16 peaceful climate protesters, jailed for total of 41 years. This isn’t justice. People desperate for climate action to save lives treated like organised criminals, while big oil & gas get away with ecocide @defendourjuries.bsky.social

When people get a Green Councillor they tend to like it. Caring about your community and its environment and being there for it between elections is proving very popular.

What is the point in wasting money on buying more aircraft carriers, missiles, and nuclear weapons when modern warfare is using much cheaper drones. Why is money on defence allowed to be squandered on waste whilst every penny on welfare or health is fiercely scrutinised?

I’ve been scrolling through the #FungiFriends feed for an hour now. I’m so amazed by all the fungi enthusiasts. I’m nowhere near that level, just a forager and general enthusiast. Here’s a second fungi for today, photographed last week. App says it’s a red-belted conk. I have no idea myself.

Remember folks that the information Trump is refusing to share with Ukraine was collected on British soil. The main US listening station is at Menwith Hill in Yorkshire. Why wasn't Britain consulted about denying to our ally information obtained here?

Seems it is proving popular to save money on energy bills with solar, by filling home storage batteries overnight and using the power in the day, or by installing heat pumps. Help needed with initial capital costs to cut bills and carbon emissions. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Front page of Yorkshire Post today reports on my questions about why intelligence gathered locally is being denied to our Ukrainian allies by a former ally with listening stations on our soil. US bases must go if they won't share info with our real friends.

Arctic sea ice volume is at a record low for the time of year. There's been little to no sunshine over the Arctic over the past few months (Spring has only just started), so rising ocean heat is obviously behind shrinking of Arctic sea ice thickness. arctic-news.blogspot.com/2025/03/how-...

So down the road from me in Yorkshire there is a US listening station. While it shared info with Ukraine many welcomed it. Now it won't even share info with the British hosts it has to go. We don't want spies for Russia on British soil.

Wish this was true. Trump and his extremists consciously admire far right 'strong' men like Putin and Netanyahu. They actively want Ukraine to be a puppet government they can strip of minerals and to clean out Gaza of 2 million people to make a beach resort

Make America groan again? A trade war costs jobs and puts up inflation. If Trump messes up the economy he will become the most unpopular President ever. Big promises come with big disappointments.
