The Labour Government reeling off the same far-right talking points on immigration. And look who is celebrating. The far-right.
There is a political alternative that won’t ever scapegoat those fleeing war, persecution and torture

With all the recent intense rainfall, many parts of the woods are gloriously full of water.
The forests, bogs, + other wild habitats we've removed once retained colossal amounts of water, preventing flooding downstream.
Between that and climate breakdown, we're creating a perfect storm for floods.

Did u know? It's been a fab year for Ladybirds. So wonderful to see them in such large numbers. Now, they're looking to find quiet corners to overwinter. I had a hunt for these sleepy heads in my garden yesterday & it was amazing how many I found - every nook & cranny.Sleep well,little ones. 🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🪲🌍🐞

Did u know? You don't get much for free in life,but used cafe coffee grounds are one of them. If you see them being given away in cafes, grab some & add them to your compost heap. They're rich in nutrients that plants need to thrive, are great soil conditioners & great for acid loving plants. 🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍☕

Did u know?This is one of the most important organisms on earth - moss. It's amazing what it does to maintain healthy ecosystems. It minimises soil erosion; captures carbon; harbours tiny souls in its unique habitat & filters & purifies water & air in its dense structure - make room for moss. 🌱🌿🇬🇧🌱🌍🦠

Did u know? On milder days, you'll still see pollinators on the wing, so it's a fab idea to have something in flower all year-round. These Fatsia japonica are in full bloom now (not indigenous, but hey-ho) and my wonderful wasps are taking full advantage of their lovely nectar rich blooms. 🌱🌿🇬🇧🌱🌍🪲

The government spends £2.7 BILLION a year on TAX BREAKS for oil and gas companies
Those companies pay billions to their shareholders
And then lay off their workers
Think that's unfair?
Tell Rachel Reeves to stop propping up oil and gas companies and back workers instead…

Did u know? Newly emerged Queen bumblebees are busy feeding themselves with as much food as possible, to get them through the winter, as they sleep in holes/hollows/earth/grass. That's why every last summer flower in your garden is an important food source. Look at this magnificent lady. 🌱🌿🇬🇧🌱🌍🪲🐝

A massive dereliction of leadership and duty, if true. A few years ago, Starmer branded Rishi Sunak’s absence from the world’s top #climate conference as a “failure of leadership”. He was right then - he must do the right thing himself now #COP30
Keir Starmer has no plans to attend COP30 climate summit in Brazil
Final decision has yet to be made amid ‘big fight inside government’ over trip by prime minister

Did u know? As Autumn approaches, it's a great time to see beautiful plump rosy rose hips on your bushes. Don't prune them off, because (apart from looking gorgeous)birds love to eat them throughout the winter. They're packed with nutrition & are a perfect food for feathered friends. 🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍🐦⬛
