Outrageous.

Ministers should be listening to scientists, frontline communities and those working towards a green transition – not hosting the interests of oil giants in their own offices.

NHS England is rolling out software to run our health records from Palantir – a US spy-tech firm that has supported mass deportation in the US and enabled genocide in Gaza.

How did Nigel Farage's girlfriend find nearly a million pounds to buy a house in Clacton for her boyfriend?
❗️Farage Stamp Duty Scandal ❗️

All he needs do to clear this up is to publish the relevant documentation.

In UK law, using a 3rd party to buy a property with your money is Tax Evasion.

Fun, fascinating behaviour by the Ravens this morning. Not great photos but I've never seen this behaviour before so I wanted to share! Hope you're not bored of ravens; I'm a little obsessed! Here Chips is having a snow bath and one of them is hanging upside down from a tree! #ukbirding

Your 'bonus moment of doom' for today:

"For the first time, we have observed how changes in an atmospheric and oceanic circulation system exceed a threshold and lead to reduced biological production."

The Panama Sea stopped “breathing” in 2025, and what satellites and fishermen saw had never been recorded in four decades
Panama’s Pacific “breath” vanished in 2025—satellites caught a shocking chlorophyll drop and fishers felt it first.

The PM and Foreign Secretary should be condemning this illegal strike and breach of international human rights law.

After years of arming a genocide and worshipping the “special relationship”, Trump now believes he can act with impunity.

Relentless "improvement" of the countryside leaves no space for nature.

But ever more people are now helping the wild return, through *rewilding*.

No matter who you are or where you live, you too have a part to play in the fight.

There is no better New Year's resolution.

Happy 2026! To start the year, here's a tree ring chiton, a 5cm ocean mollusk that sticks to rocks. Instead of having obvious eyes on a head, it's got 100s of tiny eyes embedded in the hard plates on its back, each with a rock crystal to focus light. Its top is one big eye spying on the world above

Realisation is starting to sink in that Reform has a near zero chance of forming a Government after the Senedd Election.

Other parties won’t work with them and they’re dropping in the polls, currently 2nd.

Here’s their Trumpian direction - claim the election is illegitimate when they don’t win.

This is ridiculous. There clearly has not been a 660% increase in terrorism
in the UK over the past year.

How much is it costing the criminal justice system to arrest and prosecute all these people for the crime of wearing a t-shirt or holding a placard?

Terrorism arrests soar by 660% after Palestine Action ban
Official figures show 1,630, or 86%, of the 1,886 arrests for terrorism-related activity in the year to the end of September 2025 were linked to supporting the group.

I'm sharing this here, as I have on Facebook and Instagram, but there's no account on here to share from, and I just think this is wonderful.

A really good balance of design and implementation, and appears to achieve everything it set out to do, and it *SO* appeals to my inner 'work nerd'.

🎉 Absolutely delighted to welcome Jamie Driscoll to the Green Party.

👏🏼 He has a track record of demonstrating his commitment towards our communities alongside empowering them.

💚 Join us: join.greenparty.org.uk
British politics is a mess. Food, energy, housing are all too expensive. Major parties are all flogging the dead horse of trickle down. So I’m joining the Green Party. Britain needs an economy that works for workers, for small businesses, and future generations. @greenparty.org.uk
