Might be time to revisit this

Labour's gleeful, unprincipled, swing even further right is something to behold but are we to understand from this quote that until only a few weeks ago, Sir Keir Starmer believed himself to be a man of the people?

Farming is a tough job & it's only getting tougher as our climate changes. But what if there was a better way to feed 10 billion people, one that didn't involve hardship, slaughtering animals or wrecking the environment? There is, as @georgemonbiot.bsky.social explains.

Brilliant portrait by @hlinehan.bsky.social of my daily reality “Everything is grimy, shabby and dispiriting. It’s in places like these that Dublin feels like a city designed by people who despise its inhabitants.” www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

Storm Éowyn has dealt another body blow to our forestry model based on monocultures of spruce. Will this trigger a rethink, or will it just be ignored like all the other issues? www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2025...

Taking the bus to @rte.ie to discuss why litter and dumping are such issues in the inner city, the role of CCTV and what else I want to see done about it. Thanks to the Blessington St bus stop for illustrating the problem nicely for me!
