“A colossal missed opportunity” - a clear message in a new report from from Ireland’s fiscal and climate advisory councils. Instead of taking action to cut emissions (making energy cleaner & more secure, & diversifying farming) we face €26 billion in compliance costs to meet EU targets

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

This is the most disgusting display of “diplomacy” I’ve ever seen. Trump has done irreparable damage to the reputation of the United States and the Republican Party. He’s only interested in money and power for him and his cronies. Disgraceful.

I'm thrilled to announce I'll be working on a 3rd book with my great publisher, Hachette: 'Rewilding Ireland'. I hope the result will help continue the growth in interest and support for what is by FAR the best cure for nature collapse in one of the world's most ecologically ruined countries. 🌍

‘Tesla sales in Europe down 45% & market share dropped to 1% from 1.8%. This could suggest that Musk’s interventions in European politics & role in Trump’s administration defunding & depopulating the US gov’t are leading to a consumer backlash.’

I’m predicting that Trump will announce that he should be the next Pope, and if he doesn’t get it, he’ll invade the Vatican. JD Vance and Giorgia Meloni will quickly support him. No Bishops will be allowed in the Conclave due to their “woke” beliefs and the fact they wear colourful robes.

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

It’s unremittingly grey and cold and dank (in London at least). So here’s a thought to keep you going. In about three or four weeks, the first sand martins will be arriving from Africa. Twelve centimetres long, they’ll have made a journey of up to about 9,000 kilometres. Ridiculous.
