More harrowing scenes in Chiswick as extreme anti-car and anti-business policies turn this once bustling SUV park into a deserted wasteland.

Shifting baselines is like an absence of nostalgia. This is Ballycotton in Cork where angling tournaments in the 60s saw hundreds of large sharks, skates and other fish hauled out of the water. Today, you'd be lucky to get a few small mackerel and people think this is normal.

Sad news from 山階鳥類研究所 YIO: A Roseate Tern, ringed in Australia over two decades ago, fell victim to a free-ranging cat in Okinawa, Japan. This serves as a reminder of the global concern for the impact of #cats on wildlife. #CatPredation Source: cutt.ly/Mwuxj1y0

Accounts of English village birds in early 20th century seem crazy, but here in E Poland it’s still true. Sat here with Redstart, Tree Sparrow, Pied Flycatcher, Lesser Whitethroat, Swallow. Also had LSW, Hawfinch, Wryneck. Cuckoo & Corncrake outside. England’s villages lost this.

I have no problems with a law on death by dangerous cycling – everyone must obey the rules of the road.

But in 2022, 1760+ people were killed on UK roads – 3 involved someone being hit by a bike.

What’s the gov plan for stopping 5 people being killed a day by motor vehicles?

Stent expansion

Since privatisation in 1989, water companies in England have incurred debts of more than £64bn and paid out £78bn in dividends.

A succinct and important article by Alick Simmons

Let's hope that the next government can be persuaded to address the problems Alick has identified

his is an extraordinary letter - its simplicity and humility; knowing that each one of us is but a replaceable cog - and yet…and yet….

I urge you to read it.

The UN General Assembly has voted in favour of full membership for Palestine 🇵🇸

This is the response of the Israeli 🇮🇱 Ambassador.

He calls Palestinians “modern-day Nazis” and the UN “shameless”.

Israel 🇮🇱 has murdered over 14,500 children in Gaza 🇵🇸

Evergreen advice from this Victorian election poster from 1874.

Very much relevant to how you use your vote today, exactly 150 years later.

Thanks for the solidarity Yanis Varoufakis!

'It seems impossible until it’s possible.'

'Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions' co-founder Omar Barghouti protested against apartheid South Africa at Columbia. He has insights for students fighting for divestment from Israel at their schools.

The Conservative candidate in London is a member of SIX Facebook groups - allegedly set up by Tory staff - which are full of racism and death threats to Sadiq Khan.

I urged the Prime Minister to investigate.

He failed.

Londoners deserve better than that candidate.

With Netanyahu looking set to launch imminent attack on Rafah in defiance of international humanitarian law, I challenged PM to finally find moral backbone to ban arms exports & end UK complicity in crimes vs humanity. But clearly not. How much more suffering will it take?  #pmqs
