One of my favourite techniques for assisting natural regeneration, instead of planting trees, is to set up bird perches and artificial bat roosts in deforested areas The birds and bats are attracted to them, fly around and poo a lot, and deposit lots of seeds in nice little manure packages

Peter Barber is Reform UK candidate for Canvey Island Winter Gardens, Castle Point, a by-election that will take place at the end of May. He's the same Peter Barber that ran for the BNP in Canvey in 2007. Once again Reform UK, what's with the lack of vetting? www.echo-news.co.uk/news/local_n...

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies. Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

UK electricity is one of the most expensive in the world. Ofgem bases price of electricity on the cost of gas, which is most expensive input. Providers of wind, solar, coal, nuclear, hybro, biomass power make mega profits. Must change Ofgem formula. Take gas out of equation, need more renewables.

Nigel Farage defends allowing US chlorinated chicken into UK as part of trade deal. Farage/Reform want US style insurance-based healthcare; lower food/environmental standards, worker/consumer rights; return to gold standard, benefit cuts. Who in their right mind wants this.

Nothing quite like a barbed wire fence on one side and a river on the other as you cycle down a narrow footpath in the gloaming to concentrate the mind, following a slightly hazy Easter Sunday. Hope y’all had a good day too. We’re home safe xx

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?...

So it seems the 8ft brick wall was too much of a barrier for frogs and newts this year ….but not even one week in to having a lovely new greenhouse and I’ve discovered what looks like a ducks egg in the corner that definitely wasn’t there this morning. 🤣

I’ve just heard the Tories planned to take £12bn from the welfare budget if they’d won last year. I can’t support the £5bn but that’s a bit mind blowing.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

So apparently when you slow down a bit, the Adrenalin you’re used to relying on just isn’t there to push pain away anymore 🙄 So today it’s back to the gym & I’ve planned a trip to my favourite garden centre for Thursday and that makes me really happy. Morning folks!
