This Government once vowed to be “the most nature-positive [we have] ever had”.
Months of blaming wildlife and stripping back protections have already made a mockery of that promise.
And if the rumoured cuts to BNG go ahead, it will deal yet another devastating blow to nature.

What is the endgame in this toxic immigration debate: is it friends and neighbours thrown out of the country? | Jonthan Liew
The notion of remigration was abstract, but the right is dragging it towards respectability. If the goal is homogeneous whiteness, they should say it, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Liew

The #USOpen has moved the trophy to inside the Rolex suite, which is where Trump is, but surely not where the trophy has ever belonged before during a final.

The latest at Bounces is a deep dive I've been working on for months, about the hugely overlooked role returners play in how many aces get hit each match.
Because in women's tennis right now, aces are likelier with one returner than with any server.

When it comes to aces, one player proves that it can be more about the returning than the serving.
