"Sinn Féin and the DUP have stalled the nutrients action programme over fears of a farmer backlash."
The *only* thing they'll unite on: ensuring the largest lake ecosystem in Ireland or Britain, Lough Neagh, continues to die of pollution.
What a f**king disgrace.

The UN agreed to a Global Ocean Treaty. This is the biggest conservation deal ever. It’s the key way to protect 30% of our oceans by 2030. We need 60 countries to sign it into law. The UK Government pushed for the Treaty, so they should show leadership and implement it. act.gp/44M8iQA

Yes major media has let us down. We are the UK's leading citizen journalism publication with 10 Bylines all across the UK, now there might not be room for all of them, but please consider Bylines Network, we really are trying to do something different.
I'm going to start working on this, and will add to it as more major media outlets join Bluesky.
I expect the pace to pick up very soon and very significantly.
Major media has let us down significantly over the last ten years, but it's still vital to know what's being reported. go.bsky.app/2JyEju6
