Don't forget to send this back to Nige, and get his oligarch and crypto friends to pay for it.

Obviously nothing inside....

Here is a list of reasons why some of my hearings and trials this year have been delayed and kicked off into the long grass, stuck in our record court backlog. Serious allegations which will now be tried *years* after the event. 🧵👇

My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation.
Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

No shock here: The Guardian notes several phrases in the U.S. peace proposal to Ukraine appear to be directly translated from Russian.

One standout is the line “It is expected that Russia will not invade neighboring countries,” a clunky English phrasing mirroring the Russian “ожидается.”

🌳 As a #NationalTrust member I’ve just voted for the recommended slate to keep out the bogus, right-wing entryists of “Restore Trust”. Anything this creep wants is bad for Britain and bad for our heritage.
🌳 If you’re a member, vote Recommended Slate now: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/a...
One vital reason to vote in the National Trust elections and for the NT endorsed candidates. We can't risk the Restore Trust candidates getting any influence on it.

A Russian drone strike hit a kindergarten in Kharkiv following a night of heavy attacks. One person was killed, seven injured. All children were evacuated and are now in shelters, many showing acute stress reactions, Zelensky said. These bandits and terrorists can only be stopped by force.

📢 Lugg Meadow, the UK’s largest remaining Lammas meadow, is under threat from housing plans. A rare habitat, rich in wildlife and tradition, could be irreversibly damaged.

🚫 We’ve objected to the proposal. Now it’s your turn.

Reform say it is "disgusting and libellous" to suggest that Nigel Farage flirted with Hitler Youth when he was young.

Last year I asked Defra (EIR2024/04119) how many hectares of SSSI-quality grassland they had created with public money & they don't know "...given the very long timescales of such habitat creation we do not have records of what has been created."
our existing meadows really are irreplaceable
This #NationalMeadowsDay, help us urge governments to protect our last irreplaceable meadows 📢. These vital ecosystems support both nature and us—but once lost, they’re gone forever.

✍️ Write to your MP or MSP today and demand their protection: https://loom.ly/ADenswU
