💙 Happy World Wildlife Day! 💙 Here, we show you a picture we took of swans that we spotted when we held our annual London Rivers Week Mama Osun event (2023) at the Thames foreshore in Battersea.🧵

Today is World Wildlife Day. The Crane valley supports a wide variety of animals and plants including seven species of bats, water voles, kingfishers, adders and eels, tawny owls and glow worms - and much more.

Great to speak to hundreds of residents going into the final week of the Brentford East and Syon & Brentford Lock by-election campaigns. Lots of residents voting for Max and Jennifer this Thursday.

My 7 year old nephew, son of two music lovers said to me today that he thought my job was in Parliament Funkadelic. If only!

'It proposes outlawing "degrading, violent and misogynistic content", including making it illegal to possess or publish pornography showing women being choked during sex.' #BertinReview #PornHarms www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

For her performance of "Strange Fruit" a song about lynching African American people, she would silence the crowd, a spotlight on her face. On the final note, all lights went out and she was gone.... Singer Billie Holiday,1947 #WomensArt (Image by D.Hagerman)

This coincides with an application to Natural England from grouse shooting lobby for further brood meddling licences. Given the ongoing illegal killing of hen harriers on grouse moors there'll be uproar (& legal challenges) if NE capitulates #RaptorResearch raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/02/27/n...

Amazing to witness 2 juvenile White-tailed Eagles scrapping over prey (not sure what!) in the Wareham Channel this am (from Ham Common VP). Photos are cropped but otherwise unedited. Later one soared up high and was joined by 2 others (probably our adult pair) over Arne. @harbourbirds.bsky.social

ABANDONMENT HURTS. Pets are not disposable, they're living souls who feel joy, pain, and love just like we do. Their innocent eyes, loving purrs, and unconditional love... all crushed by rejection. Promise a FOREVER HOME or don't adopt at all. 🙏 #adoptdontshop #cats #stoppetabandonment

Well, we've finally deactivated our Twitter account for good, thanks to the actions of its owner. On a lighter note, here's a real emperor 😀

Do not get a pet if you cannot keep it for the entire duration of it's life. Would you give up your kid? Animals have souls, animals feel more than you do. This cat was abandoned and this photo was taken minutes after being adopted. #AdoptdontShop

Brilliant.

I see the Tory candidate for one of our council by-elections is now giving credence to rumour and disinformation put out by bad faith actors whose MO is causing division and intimidating candidates and campaigners.

Now that's how you celebrate turning 50!

A great BoPH Safari in the sunshine yesterday with distant WTE's G463 and 466, RB Merganser, Cormorant and the Barnacle Goose which thinks it's a Greylag! @harbourbirds.bsky.social @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social

Mikey pretends to go wild in the country.

🔴Brentford is a great place to live 🔴Let’s keep it that way - vote Labour on 6 March

Lovely morning on Hyde's Heath, Arne. Plenty of soaring Buzzards once the sun came through, and a Sparrowhawk flypast. Also brief glimpse of White-tailed Eagle flying low in Wareham Channel, Marsh Harrier, Raven, waders, Dartford Warbler singing. Almost spring-like! @harbourbirds.bsky.social

Phenomenal day on Brownsea with our Poole Harbour Young Birders Club for the opening of the new Lookout Hide. Huge thank you to Dorset Wildlife Trust and National Trust for inviting us. Great views of Avocet, Bar-wit, Greenshank, 1 BT Diver (off Salterns Marina) and 2 Red Squirrels!

Pretending American foreign policy makes the US the good guys on the world stage is to forget Iraq and Vietnam and a history of warfare, imperialism and support for dictators when it serves. But under Trump, America has given up even pretending. #Ukraine #Putin #Trump

If Britain stands with Europe to secure a just peace for #Ukraine in the face of both Russian and American aggression, #KeirStarmer will be the most popular prime minister of our time.

I'm pleased to see the Government publish their consultation about Great British Railways. Bringing our railways back into public ownership is much welcome & as Chair of Transport Committee I look forward to continuing to scrutinise these plans. 1/2 www.gov.uk/government/c...

Europe now stands alone. And it must stand with #Ukraine. #Trump #Putin #Zelenskyy

BLOG: With Labour’s pledges to halve violence against women & girls in the next 10 years, there is only one fair and lawful answer to this week’s strip club licence hearing. And that is to remove it. brightonsisters.wordpress.com/whats-new-pu... #SistersSalon #MeToo #Consent #NotBuyingIt

We’re in a timeline where I agree with Mike Pence 🤯

#Hounslow already has some of the best #library access in Britain. In the face of 14 years of punishing #austerity from the #Tory government, we not only kept all our #libraries open but enhanced them. I'm proud to announce our latest suite of improvements today.

'“This is an incredibly complex area of law that has quickly become highly specialised,” Dr Foran said. “The average EDI lead is simply not qualified to be setting policy without checking with a legal specialist.' www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/02...

Scottish Labour Leader, Anas Sarwar and MSP Jackie Baillie say they support nurse Sandie Peggie. The Scottish Labour leader tells us: "Knowing what we know now, we would not have supported the [Gender Recognition Reform] bill." www.youtube.com/watch?v=swNY...

🧵Councillors will decide if the PussyCat Strip Club can renew its licence We are pleased to be representing women across our city by raising their (&our) objections at today's hearing. #Brighton #NotBuyingIt #EndDemand www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I simply could not tell you what McSweeney believes in. I know what he doesn’t believe. But I have literally no idea what he wants to do with the power he so accurately and purposefully sought. My response to Get In.

If you have a minute spare, please nominate us for this special draw. It would make a huge difference! ⬇️🤞 animal.movementforgood.com/index.php?cn...

Great to see our new General Secretary @joedromey.bsky.social featured in @labourlist.bsky.social today, sharing his thoughts on defeating the far right and the Fabian Society's role in supporting the new Labour government. labourlist.org/2025/02/new-...
