#Farage has done really well from his racism, puzzled that he wants to disown it now. Smacks of ingratitude, which is never a good look for a politician www.theguardian.com/politics/202... #Reform

Enjoyed yesterday's Freedom to Roam conference in Hebden Bridge. Expanding access to nature in England and Wales will be a monumental challenge but i love that it challenges us to upend our programming and the mental exclosures that generations of policies have created 1/2 @righttoroam.bsky.social
