Hurrah! Just seen our first House Martin of the year and it’s already checking out one of our farmhouse nesting cups. Perhaps returning to its old home? @sbghousemartins.bsky.social

Apologies for straying off topic but the first House Martins and Swallows are now arriving back & Suffolk is bone dry. If you have an open field then create a mud splat and keep it moist until we have rain. This is a big one in Woolpit @sbghousemartins.bsky.social @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social

The reason I bang on about the NHS is that I have worked in it for 40 years Over half it’s existence I remember a time, not that long ago when the majority of things worked well Something happened in 2010 that changed that I am fighting for a collective memory & fight for a better future

15+ years old, but still VERY relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we’d be creating would be a LOT better & easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner. Even worse if we don’t heed it now. #ClimateCrisis

1. Today the Tories unveil their new policy: ripping up the commitment to net zero by 2050. Kemi Badenoch, with no evidence, claims "it can’t be achieved without a serious drop in our living standards or by bankrupting us." What the evidence shows is the opposite. We can't prosper without it. 🧵

Absolutely shocking decision from the Government to axe the Sustainable Farming Incentive. We need to be increasing funding for nature friendly farming, not cutting schemes. This is a dereliction of duty towards farmers and the natural world. @nfudc.bsky.social www.express.co.uk/news/politic...

It’s quite simple. President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin

If Government were to approve #Rosebank oilfield, it would be an unforgivable act of environmental vandalism & simply can’t be squared with #climate commitments. Anyone else recall Reeves’s pledge to be first Green Chancellor? How long ago it seems now…@stopcambo.bsky.social

So our Chancellor believes industry should “focus on getting things built, and stop worrying about the #bats and the #newts”. Please read @batconservation.bsky.social's response... and click on their link to find out what they're doing about these so called 'reforms' and how we can help 🦇 👇

Our reaction to the Chancellor’s speech on Wednesday🗣️: "If the Chancellor wants to drive economic growth, she must also prioritise a healthy, resilient and thriving natural world. Clean water, healthy ecosystems and a stable climate are vital for sustainable growth.”

Gosh. What a refreshing read. So many uncomfortable parallels here about how politics and industry pressures often subvert more moral and scientific approaches to better design. “Safety, Tingvall believes, is just like climate change – you can deny the science, but at the risk of your credibility.”

Only 3% of our wildflower meadows are left. Please repost if you agree we should give pollinating insects a fighting chance by growing wildflowers in our gardens, communities, towns and countryside, and by avoiding pesticides and weedkillers 🐝

When I left X, I left 260000ish followers who cared about the NHS. This is bad because the NHS is in a state of emergency and EveryDoctor has just launched an important petition. If you can see this, please could you follow me and share this? 🤞💙🚨
