BAD NEWS! Should the swift brick vote have taken place earlier today we would have won. Tories whipped YES but by the time of the vote, support had gone home just like 2 years ago. It is an AGONISING reality. Tell your MP & [email protected] what you think. GUTTED.

Great trespass along the River Dart today to kick off @righttoroam.bsky.social's 9 river trespasses in November - protesting the inadequacy & unworkability of the Govt's 9 river walks pledge

We trespassed in an estate owned in the Cayman Islands & later met up with kayakers from Friends of the Dart

So much for "boosting growth".
All this vandalism will do is leave us with devastated ecosystems, fewer green spaces, worse quality of life, while neither solving the housing crisis (because the problem IS NOT AND NEVER WAS "bats and newts") nor creating "growth".

Please read my column today in conjunction with Aditya's. The government pretends to be delivering housing to those who need it, but is in fact just appeasing the big corporations. Then it blames nature protections, and rips those down at their behest as well.

Fun fact: we devote ten times more space to golf courses in England than we do to allotments (source: OS Greenspace data) www.independent.co.uk/climate-chan...

This sounds bad. Allotments are a form of municipal socialism. Rayner should be all for them.

If they *have* to raise more money from them, surely raising the very low rents would be a compromise? Flog them and they're gone forever

Funny what people reserve their outrage for.

Decisions, decisions ....
We're talking about a group actively planning to attack RAF bases. As an ex-RAF serviceman, that's going too far. No way will I support or accept any such thing.

Private jets are up to 14 times more polluting than commercial planes per passenger, and 50 times more than trains.

A £1000 per head tax on billionaire-backed multi-millionaires like Nigel Farage could deter private jet use and raise hundreds of millions to tackle the climate crisis.

🔍 More than 135,000 cleaner fish have died at a salmon farm in Torridon over the last two years, according to new figures uncovered by The Ferret.

These animals are used to remove lice from farmed salmon, yet many suffer and die due to disease, environmental stress, and lethal treatments.
