🇪🇺🇬🇧 Through my first set of meetings in Brussels. The praise for Starmer is overwhelming: “What he has managed to do is not just good for him. It's good for all of us. Absolutely top notch. This is the UK at its best. The UK we have always admired.

On #WorldWildlifeDay help protect animals & the #environment by picking up a couple of pieces of litter wherever you go It only takes a minute & feels great. 27,000 #dog owners removing over 39 million bits of litter every year….a couple of pieces at a time. Join us! #dogsofbluesky

Happy #WorldWildlifeDay! 🌍 The UK is home to some truly remarkable wildlife that need our protection. Let’s appreciate the beauty of UK nature today and every day. 🙌💚

For #worldwildlifeday I’m looking back at a magical red squirrel experience in Scotland a few years ago. In a small wood outside of Kirkcudbright we spent a very happy half hour watching these beautiful little creatures, the experience will stay with me forever…

BREAKING: The UK, France and Ukraine will work on a ceasefire plan to present to the United States, the prime minister has said, in the wake of Volodymyr Zelenskyy's White House clash with Donald Trump news.sky.com/story/wester...

If you are reeling from Trump & Vance's disgusting performance towards Zelensky last night, might you consider donating to www.hospiceukraine.com, the tiny charity I set up with Henry Marsh to support local Ukrainian palliative care teams? We delivered this Land Rover to a rural hospice in Dec...

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

As America reverts to a more distant historic strategic posture then we must revert to ours. Defending our island by building alliances with friends on the continent to defeat those who seek to dominate us. We’ve done it for 500 years. We’ve got this.

The Prime Minister should show British leadership on Ukraine by inviting President Zelenskyy to address Parliament on Monday. I'm proud that the UK has been Ukraine's staunchest ally from the start. We mustn't falter in the face of Trump's bullying now.

In light of the sad news from @bumblebeetrust.bsky.social today, I have removed the paywall from the Substack I wrote in autumn about extra things we can do to help bumblebees. One of them is growing crocuses undercover, which is working really well! open.substack.com/pub/katebrad...

Researchers from the University of Cambridge say their solar-powered reactor could be used to make fuel to power cars and planes, or the many chemicals and pharmaceuticals products we rely on. It could also be used to generate fuel in remote or off-grid locations. 💚💚

The Government is siding with big tech over British creativity. Today is the FINAL chance to respond to their consultation on AI and copyright. Let's make sure creators' voices are heard. Guidance below 👇 #MakeItFair #PayTheCreator www.alcs.co.uk/news/your-ri...

Every major UK newspaper - left, right, broadsheet, tabloid - is running a front page campaign against copyright carveouts for AI training. I can't remember the last time any political cause had such broad support, let alone one so anti-big tech and so economically consequential.

Govt AI creators & copyright consultation closes midnight today. I used the ALCS guide to complete, answering in my own words, and it took me about 30 minutes, as opposed to the several hours it would have done otherwise.

Scientists have developed a solar-powered device that can pull pollution from the air and convert it directly into fuel for cars and planes.

Tonight, the Snow Moon rises. 🌕❄️ Named for February’s deep snows, this full moon was also called the Storm Moon or Ice Moon in Old English, reflecting winter’s cold grip. Look below its glow tonight, and you may spot Regulus...one of the brightest stars in the sky. Moonrise: 17:06*

When asked to draw a scientist, school-age kids in the United States are increasingly sketching women, according to a study from 2018. Read more on #WomenInScienceDay: https://scim.ag/4hOUuvx

Bird nests made from anti-bird spikes?! 🤯 Hi, I'm a nest researcher 👋 and new here on BlueSky, sharing the craziest #bird nests I've ever found. 👀 Today, I’m sharing my discovery of rebellious birds that build nests out of anti-bird spikes. And honestly, it's like telling a joke... A thread. 🧵

Another existential crisis solvable only by global collaboration, difficult choices and evidence led policy making. While populists spout comforting lies about greatness/borders/woke.

Finally got around to setting this stunning dendritic agate brooch today. For some reason I’d been avoiding doing it. Anyway, I put my big girl pants on & did it, am so glad I did, that stone is a stunner and hopefully now it can be worn & enjoyed and given the attention it deserves! #jewellery #art

Stop worrying about bats and newts? No Rachel Reeves MP – start worrying about the future of our economy if we tear down the nature it depends on. Nature isn’t a blocker; it’s the foundation of growth.
