“Mr Farage. One more thing. Somethings puzzling me. You claim to be a patriot but express admiration for Putin. You fawn over Elon Musk to solicit donations, even when he is spreading lies about Britain. You cheer on Trump when he harms Britain. Are you a plastic patriot, Sir?”

#HeathrowExpansion won’t deliver growth. Business demand is falling & more tourists leave than arrive. But it will trash climate commitments, drive more extreme weather, noise & air pollution & only benefit frequent flying super-emitters - the 15% who take 75% of flights. Labour should be better

Let me explain Tariffs and why nobody uses them. 1. Your citizens pay for them. 2. They kill imports. 3. Then they kill your exports to that country when they retaliate. So only idiots like Donald Trump would use them.

Love Barnsley and love this woman - more people like this and fewer racists please. For any Americans reading this - Barnsley is a town in northern England surrounded by (ex)coal mining villages. Margaret Thatcher tried to destroy it, Reform target it - and this woman saves it!

The UK tried to levy a 5% tax on the USA. So you had a revolution. Now Trump is going to use tariffs to put at least a 25% tax on you all. Party like it's 1776.

What do you call a gathering of birders? 🤔 A 'gaggle'? A 'parliament'? How about a 'conference'? Bookings are now open for our Annual Conference in March! ➡️ www.bto.org/annual-conf-2025 #Ornithology #UKBirding

If someone launches a cryptocoin it is because they have given themselves coins for free. As soon as the price gets high (within 24-48 hours or less) they will sell them all. The coin will then rapidly become worthless. RT to inform people and stop their grift.

Over 230,000 iconic British badgers have lost their lives to the cull. This cull is a disgrace. The primary driver of bTB outbreaks in cattle remains cattle-to-cattle transmission—not badgers. Sign our petition and help us reach 100k signatures! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/700317 🦡

Without justice, any semblance of peace is only temporary. So long as Palestine is illegally occupied, there is no justice and therefore no peace. The only solution for lasting peace is to #FreePalestine🇵🇸

This Blue tit was foraging in my garden today, thought it had a worm in its beak, but no that is its beak! Doesn't seem to be holding it back though.
