Planning and Infrastructure Bill update
Labour voted down every amendment that would protect nature from this bill. They rejected the most basic protections for endangered species. The @greenparty.org.uk have my vote from today!
Now it goes back to the House of Lords

Saddened to hear of the death of Jane Goodall, a pioneering conservationist. We were fortunate enough to have interviewed her as one of the 100 voices in the Oral History of the Environmental Movement archive, soon to be available in the British Library Life Stories Collection.

A book for the times we are in - how over a hundred thousand people could decide asylum seekers and people of colour are to blame for their troubles, and why they think the world's former richest man is on their side.

Fact-checking @reformexposed.bsky.social @reformuk.bsky.social
Nigel Farage: “7.2 million foreign-born people have registered with GPs in the last 10 years... facts.”
Fact: 40.6% of GPs in England and Wales are foreign-born. The NHS wouldn’t survive without them —they’re the backbone.

The Pope's funeral ceremony - a patriarchal spectacle - it still shocks me to see a church that has so much influence on women's lives. Yet, not a single woman represented and not a single woman's voice heard in its hierarchy.
