Churchill could have ended the war in 1940 if he wanted to, too.

As a scout on our way to scout camp in the netherlands, snuck into first class on a ferry to get Bobby George's singature.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

This is awkward. If there's a Conservative who knows more about how to decarbonise the UK by 2050, please introduce us. If we stopped confusing costs with investments, investments with asset replacements and gas imports with exports, we would see it's a huge economic win.

Net Zero by 2050 'impossible' for UK, says Kemi Badenoch
The Conservative leader says the target is impossible "without a serious drop in our living standards or by bankrupting us".

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend.

I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

Far too much game-show-level discussion of serious actions currently, e.g. BBC political editor describing Trump’s announcements as “tantalising” yesterday
No one should be reporting on this stuff as if it’s a big game of Deal or No Deal, or some political intrigue for the respective leaders. It’s bad news for everyone except for those people wanting to do harm

Every morning, we each say something we're grateful for. Today, mine was honeybees because they work so hard gathering nectar to make the honey that had with breakfast. Then I realized I didn't know much about bees.

This thread! So much I didn't know. Happy learning!
Please #repost/#share for the #bees.🙏🏼🐝

This matters.

So let’s talk about #honeybees in the context of ‘Saving the Bees’.
Let’s cut the bull and cut to the chase as there’s way too much confusion/misinformation out there which is a hinderance to, and detrimental to, genuine bee saving.

Spent some time at the beech this morning.

When #leaves leave the #trees they’re not done. Not rubbish. They’re merely moving on to their next function - to feed the #earth. To feed the #soil from which the trees and all of our #food ultimately originates.
So show them some respect.
Leave them lie.
