At @fightingdirty.bsky.social, we sued over this issue, and lost on the grounds that the Environment Agency couldn't be in breach because the government had issued no direction. An absurdity, which means that poisons continue to be spread on farmland every day. 🧵

As an atheist I'm delighted that the new Pope favours the continuity of Francis. I'm gladdened that his will represent real Christianity and stand up for the poor, the oppressed and our planet. May he be blessed by his God. He'll need it.

I love that I can winge on here & as it's not directed at anyone specific I can get away with it.

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

My answer? I imagine the stunning transformations over short periods and the huge potential across the UK - it's exciting!
