REMINDER: HS2, delivered in full, was the most effective single investment to reduce the UK's emissions.

The last government cancelled it, this government doubled down. Until they reverse the cancellation, Labour cannot be taken seriously on the climate.

The illegal killing of Hen Harriers has hit a devastating new high. ⚠️

A new RSPB report reveals 102 incidents in just five years - with the majority on, or near, grouse moors.

Last night Zohran won the primary.

Today two former Labour councillors have now joined the Green Party.

Huge welcome - hope is in the air: join.greenparty.org.uk 💚🙌🏼
I have today resigned from the Labour party and joined @greenparty.org.uk

Labour has lost its moral compass and we need a bold, eco-socialist vision to take on the far right.

Found this yesterday in Any Amount of Books on Charing Cross Road. Considering I’ve recently started illustrating some heraldic animals, it feels serendipitous. A very interesting book.

Recently saw this recreation of the she-wolf mosaic in Denver - this time sans Romulus and Remus. Perhaps this is a before / after?

Finally, we’re going by genus of plant in the supermarket. Now please point me in the direction of the solanums.

There are confirmed sightings of the aurora around the UK right now. If you have clear skies in your area then look up and you might just get a display of the Northern Lights to welcome in 2025!

Journaling and dry January? Yes, I’m aware of how insufferable I am. Guest appearance from Cyndaquil.

Besides intricate sketching, 0.05 fineliners are great for illegible note making in the style of Charlotte Brontë.

Cool tour of Shoreditch Town Hall yesterday - learned all about the first power station in Hackney - it burned household rubbish!

Parched peas. Besides apple cider vinegar and salt, I have also added mustard powder, marmite, peppercorn, sage, thyme and a splash of olive oil.
