This afternoon in our garden, spotted the following butterflies: Brimstone, Orange Tip and Speckled Wood. Not that rare, but good to see them within an hour of each other

Farage is talking bollocks again. But now @ed-miliband.bsky.social is calling him out. There is no politician more geekishly knowledgeable about our energy system than Ed. We need geeks like him to keep the lights on, not Trumpist blowhards like Farage www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I don't want the Water Companies to be bailed out, I want their bosses to be jailed and their companies repossessed. I don't want Public Services to be cut, I want billionaires to be taxed. I'm not interested in the growth of the richest 1%, I want that money to go to the 99%.

An absolutely brilliant and inspiring Richard Dimbleby Lecture from Gareth Southgate. So much resonated with me both personally and professionally. All of us who have relationships or simply come into contact with joys and young men can okay such an important role here. We just need to be brave.

People want secure and accessible cycle parking at home or as close to it as they can get. We need many more of these hangers in Bristol. Recent research from Sustrans addresses inequality in who has access to secure cycle parking and benefits of providing it: www.sustrans.org.uk/our-blog/res...

Because of the brilliance of Privatisation everyone is paying National Grid £150 in profits every year, while they spend only £10 per household maintaining the grid. But they have 'no money' to upgrade the grid so you are paying them £36bn more, and hoping they don't steal it.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

School run parents who drive their kids everywhere end up with the kids shackled to adults for their everyday transport needs, & adults shackled to kids because their daily schedule is arranged around those needs. That's co-dependency, not freedom.
