The River Cherwell is one of many sites at risk due to organised criminals dumping mountains of illegal waste.

Thank you to our @bsky.app followers, please encourage as others to follow our page. Bats continue to be widely misunderstood and undervalued despite being a significant part of our natural heritage. In the UK we have 18 bat species and globally they make up 20% of all mammal species.

This is a thoughtful story by an American flight attendant recounting how Gander, Newfoundland (pop 10,400) took in 10,500 passengers from 53 airplanes when the USA closed its airspace on 9/11.

🦇 (1/2) In response to the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s speech today: we believe that blaming the laws that protect bats, newts and other wildlife, as well as our wider environment, for planning delays is short sighted and misguided.

Any kitties out there taking #potassium for #renal failure? Wolfie is so good about taking pills for his thyroid, heart and skin condition but hates the liquid potassium supplement he’s taking twice daily. I’m wondering if any cats take a pill version or tastier liquid version?

BlueSky can you help? The Movers and Shakers podcast is doing a live show at Middle Temple hall on January 29th. As part of it we want to show our We Will Survive video and get people to sing along- but the lowest quote we’ve had for a projector and screen is £4000! Anyone able to do it cheaper?

Just in from mammoth interview session to two bits of news. One that a DV perp got locked up because of something I did and that a vulnerable constituent had a a massive wrongful debt written off after our intervention. This is why I came to politics, this is why I'll just keep cracking on.

Why #sophiefromromania is leaving Twitter
In November 2022 I wrote a long piece here about my relationship with Twitter and why, despite “the chaotic reign of Mad King Elon” I would not be leaving.

The New Year has brought me 14,000 followers on BlueSky on which I post in parallel to X where I have 160,300. Less abuse on BlueSky - though not none! - and overall much less interaction. Nowadays I seldom reply or argue, just provide factual useful or interesting information
