Today's column is about the government's huge, unprecedented assault on nature ... and about the eerie, astonishing silence of the big nature groups. The RSPB, National Trust, Wildlife Trusts have 7.5m members between them. A vast force, completely unmobilised. 🧵

My heart is heavy from the disruption-funded MS media's constant vitriol about Starmer/Labour Govt. It's turning left-leaning voters towards both extremes of the political spectrum. Can't we just back off the hate-headlining?
If you're angry, stop shouting & consider how best to improve things.

I really do like having the little family of peregrin falcons living here; they are such beautiful birds. But today I am feeling the loss of all the little brush rabbits who used to mow my lawn for me.

Need to plant more salvia and artemesia, so they have more places to burrow and hide!
