Nature isn’t a “blocker” – it makes our lives better.
Our coast, countryside, heritage and wildlife underpin our food, water and health and put millions of pounds into the economy. The Government must not weaken the laws that protect them.

Watching Labour MPs take a wrecking ball to nature makes me so angry & so sad. Their action tonight voting down amendments to the #PlanningBill intended to protect wildlife & habitats from destruction is so reckless & so counterproductive. People didn’t vote Labour for this 👇

The Prime Minister must pick up the phone now to Donald Trump. We have 24 hours to stop Trump’s billion-dollar raid on British licence fee payers.
We’ve written to the PM, calling on him to demand that Trump drop his ludicrous $1 billion lawsuit against the BBC.

A morning swim to start the new week. We’ve missed a couple of weeks (not enough hours in the day) and the sea is now prickly cold. Still did a couple of widths 🥶😂 #Seaham #NovemberSwim

Putting one foot in front of the other is a win for me today. Taking Midge round East Park was the last thing I felt like doing this morning…….feel more like hibernating!

Post swim bacon sandwich and hot drink in The Lookout at Seaham Marina. The sea was so calm and inviting this morning. Perfect dolphin watching conditions……..and sure enough we saw a large pod moving up and down past the harbour 🐬🐬

If you still have friends on Twitter, maybe this will convince them to junk it. The Muskrat openly bankrolling Tommy Ten-Names in the UK courts brings Lord Rothermere and the BUF to mind, only Rothermere wasn't the richest man in the world. Fascism always goes hand-in-hand with obscene wealth.
