Pollinator numbers in the UK are dropping rapidly - a butterfly emergency was called last year. This is partly due to how much pesticides we use - but it doesn’t have to be this way. France has banned pesticides from towns and cities, and many other European nations are trying to do the same.

Supreme nut job Musk is doing all he can to accelerate the very forces crashing life on Earth, to fulfill some childish sci-fi fantasy of himself and a tiny 'elite' colonising a rock in space while the rest of us die. It's Bond villain stuff, but this is the level of total idiocy we're faced with.

The most unpatriotic members of any society are the far right. They will always align with foreign interests against the interests of their own nations. They will always undermine national institutions and national values in pursuit of their own interests. When they pose as patriots, they lie.

After Donald Trump contributed 7.8 trillion to the national debt with his reckless tax cuts for the rich in his first term, he's now going to balance the budget and more tax cuts for the wealthiest on the backs of America's poorest families, all while prices continue to skyrocket. Despicable.

US TEAMED UP WITH RUSSIA 🤢🤮 The dirty play by the US continues. Now teamed up with Russia. Zelensky called for fair peace talks but have not been heard. Wants to involve EU, Turkey and the UK. And criticises that Ukrainians have not been part of the talks so far. US behaves like a traitor.
