A second weird thing found on Mt Tongariro summit ridge yesterday:
A constantly playing, solar-powered #Japanese or #Chinese(?), nembutsu chanting plastic lotus flower, firmly embedded in the ground.
I turned it off, but no one here has seen anything like it in the #mountains before!

Some of the right wing press need action taken against them for articles like this. People are being radicalised on COVID. WHO has stated ‘hundreds of millions will suffer post covid condition’ and this is the trash they print. Science facts are seen as conspiracy theories now it’s insane. Labour is

An Elf Cup fungus (Chlorociboria) staining fallen branches blue-green, plus a leaf miner that should be applauded for its amazing neatness!

The only reason Gill stopped being the Reform UK leader in Wales was because he failed to win a seat in the 2021 Senedd election.
Zia Yusuf keeps trying to make this sound like this is ancient history, and Reform washed their hands of him, but nothing is further from the truth.

People have a right to feel frustrated.
But Nigel Farage is turning it into anger and division.
He's directing it away from the wealthy and toward the vulnerable.
Who benefits?
Him and his donors.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

I’d have thought nothing cuts more against our precious British values than selling out your country for Russian bribes…
And yet Reform, the right‑wing press, and all those self‑styled guardians of these values have nothing to say
…funny that.

Very proud of former Reform MP, James McMurdock. Who better to stand up for women and girls than a man sent to prison for repeatedly kicking his girlfriend?
