Overseas pressure groups targeting civil society in the UK is something that urgently needs more scrutiny. The National Trust has frequently been campaigned against via a group whose directors and funders are thousands of miles away. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...

I trust the nation followed Mr Churchill’s advice today 🫡 On a day like this it is every British man and woman’s duty to visit a National Trust property and drink tea.

GOOD NEWS! Thanks to funding support of £5m from the Garfield Weston Foundation, we’re embarking on a three-year project to create landscapes rich in wildlife and reduce the impact of climate change at four of the places we care for.

Applications to be part of the National Trust Council are now open! Made up of 36 people from a range of backgrounds and with a range of different skills, elections to the Council take place every year, and now is your chance to get involved.

The Telegraph’s been reproducing versions of this same story for years. Wokeness and a ‘recipe for a crisis’ in membership. But National Trust member retention is higher than comparator organisations despite the cost of living crisis, and visitor numbers have been increasing.

And it’s good! So very good!

On 15 March 1939 Hitler and his deputy summoned the Czech President to Hitler’s residence in Berlin and then bullied him to submitting to a German invasion of his country. They drove him to the point of physical collapse, threatening him until he eventually signed his country’s death warrant.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.

Dear Volodymyr Zelenskyy, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

Also… JD Vance lecturing Europe on free speech while Trump bends over for Putin Alexei Navalny, anyone?

So called ‘British patriots’ really are a confused bunch… Imagine siding with a Russian tyrant who invades sovereign countries and poisons British people on British soil Whatever next?

Thinking about how many of the world’s problems could have been avoided… If childhood trauma therapy was provided to prevent people becoming such hateful twats.

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

Now GB News has started pushing a toxic suggestion that the NHS has a "diversity obsession" which is "killing patients". This is what Sky, Trailfinders and Trivago are enabling by supporting GB News It will only add to concerns about efforts by GB News to bring Trump's playbook to the UK.

Our Director General Hilary McGrady comments on the launch of the Land Use Framework consultation 🧵: “We welcome the launch of the Land Use Framework consultation, which is desperately needed.

What she says….

Everyone’s taking the mic out of all the desperate, hard right grifters hot footing it over to Washington and pretending Trump invited them, but I for one think it’s quite lovely being here in Britain and knowing for the next few days it’s a bellend-free-zone.

If you’re upset about Michelle Obama’s decision not to attend Donald Trump’s inauguration, wait until I tell you about the time Donald Trump refused to accept the results of the election he lost, plotted a coup & incited an insurrection before deciding not to attend Joe Biden’s.
