We praise bees and hate wasps – but both play vital roles in nature. Reducing invertebrates to “useful” or “harmful” misses the point: they’re all part of Earth’s web of life. @vannabartlett.bsky.social explains on #EarthDay2025 #EarthDay

If we’d been told Brexit would cost a divorce fee of £40bn, a further £100bn a year, kill small exporting businesses, increase immigration, lower food standards & deny people access to the latest cancer drugs, no one would have voted for it. It simply can not be defended and must be reversed.

The great energy rip-off www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/04... Energy prices in the UK are massively overstated as a result of UK government policy that guarantees we're ripped off and City traders profit massively. And, so far, Labour is showing no signs of doing anything about this.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

🚨This story is going to be HUGE. China is going to shutdown key US industries. Without rare earth minerals, you can’t build cars, computers, weapons or medical scanners. And China controls 90% of key minerals. There’s a lack of appreciation how crippling this situation could become very quickly.
