#NoMowMay has begun! 🌼 The rare chance to help nature by doing nothing.

As Plantlife kicks off its annual No Mow May campaign, new survey data on Welsh attitudes towards garden plants reveals that many still regard wildflowers as weeds – overlooking their benefits for wildlife and biodiversity

Former Reform candidate avoids jail for £27k charity fraud Daniel Turner diverted Covid grants meant for a youth centre to his own bank account Who does that? A close associate of Andrea Jenkyns & Sean Matthews her campaign manager, that’s who. www.lincolnshirelive.co.uk/news/lincoln...

Wales is set to become the first devolved nation in the UK to trial automatic voter registration

Of all the dogs we've re-homed big Larry is the one I worried about the most. I think it's fair to say I had absolutely nothing to worry about. Larry has found his people 🥰🙏

The Welsh Labour Government is investing an additional £5.5 million to support hospices. This funding will help ensure people continue to receive the compassionate, high-quality care they deserve at the end of life.

Cuts to humanitarian aid WILL cost lives. Disaster-hit communities, women in conflict zones, children threatened by malaria and many others face a future with diminished access to medical care. Stand in solidarity and keep the conversation going. 📢

Enemies of the people.

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK. THIS IS WHY youtu.be/MdiDDJrQUJA?...

Blossom is so often overlooked when we choose a new apple tree, but as this wonderful montage from @thepackingshedtamar on IG shows, some varieties have especially beautiful flowers. Scent also varies greatly from variety to variety.

In case you missed it ... When we were in the EU, there were signs all over the place showing how the EU was investing in our towns and regions. And best of all, EU funding was shared out EQUALLY and FAIRLY across all parts of the UK, regardless of which party was in power. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

The people of Wales are funding England's HS 2 project to the tune of £3.9 b and will receive zero benefit. When the Port Talbot Steel Works were in trouble, the establishment all but ignored their requests for help. WM must be dismantled. #IndepepdenceforUKColonies 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Little Pippilotta should be angry and bitter at the world after being inflicted with a brain injury when she was a puppy. But like so many dogs she decides to live in the moment. She wouldn’t be here today were it not for the dedication of my friend Sybille. An amazing recovery

I was reminded of this: “The less talent they have, the more pride, vanity, and arrogance they have. All these fools, however, find other fools who applaud them.” Good old Erasmus… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Prai...

“A situation in which the occupant of the White House can make such momentous changes on his own, unchecked, reflects serious political decay in American politics.” Holding out for some dismal deal with Trump will not be worth the very high price we’ll all pay for it. economist.com/by-invitatio...

#HandsOffProtests

Glorious sunny day with bright blue skies and all is well with the world (providing I ignore someone who shall remain nameless) - the first house martins of the season have arrived and are investigating last year’s nests. Hope the swallows follow soon.

We ended up raising more money than initially planned and will thus buy a fourth truck which will go to the 79th brigade. Massive thanks to all those of you who helped with this campaign! You are amazing! 🙏🏻🇺🇦🇫🇮 @69thsb.bsky.social

Just got to the Mall and saw this sign, which no one is going to top. #HandsOff2025

The EU is advising citizens to be crisis-ready and have food and water in storage. What is the UK doing for preparedness?

Great to read the support for Welsh independence now stands at 40%.

Yay! Only 10% tariffs for UK!

Nest building is in full swing. Great & Blue Tits are particularly active, coming to the kitchen window to collect natural jute twine, which I've cut into 1 inch lengths & blitzed in the food processor. There's absolutely no risk of entanglement when the jute is processed like this. #ukwildlife

Brownie is our newest arrival. All she ever knew was the chain since she was born. I've never seen a happier dog. 🥰🙏

The number of councils that back the devolution of Crown Estate assets to Wales now stands at 19, after Cardiff Council backed the proposal.

Enemies of Francesca Albanese are trying to get the UN Special Rapporteur blocked from being renewed in May this year. This is how they work if they can't beat you, and they can't smear you, they cancel you Show your support for Francesca who dares challenge Israel's war crimes

It’s clear that the more stupid, amoral, dishonest and/or vicious you are, the more use you are to Donald Trump. And this holds true across politics & media on both sides of the Atlantic.

Been working on this in the background for 3 months. Opened it this week. A huge step forward and all in Alba’s memory 💜 www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4R-...
