We need a clear plan to meet the International Fungal Conservation Pledge.
Fungi are essential to healthy soils and ecosystems — they cannot remain invisible in policy.

Shabana Mahmood's Indefinite Leave To Remain Culture War

3 years - if you're earning £125k+

15 years - if you're e.g. a nurse, or a teacher

Labour's two tier system which rewards high earners and insults those who work just as hard but don't earn as much - really sad to see Labour fall

All those people, including current government, who falsely claim migrants are to blame for failings with the NHS, along with infrastructure in general, are in for one hell of a shock with how much worse things will get with Labour's anti-immigration policies.

Martin Lewis on #GMB this morning making an excellent point - govt should not be adding policy costs onto peoples energy bills. This is a regressive way to raise money. Instead the cost should be met through general (progressive) taxation.

Conservative MP Joe Robertson criticises Labour for the increase in civil service since 2016

Of course the civil service ballooned after Brexit to manage the red tape created by Brexit #BBCQT

He's complaining about an effect caused by his own Conservative government 🤷‍♂️

Analysis of the right-wing channel’s output suggests its pundits and presenters have generally presented the Epstein allegations as a distraction, or a non-issue for the US President over recent days @bylinetimes.bsky.social

Reform UK’s only Senedd member Laura Anne Jones - desperate to impress Farage - has been slapped with a suspension for calling people “chinky spies” in a WhatsApp chat. Yes, that’s the intellectual powerhouse representing Farage’s clown circus: racist slurs in a staff group chat about TikTok.

Today's report makes for devastating reading for all those who lost loved ones to Covid.

The actions of Boris Johnson and his colleagues led to thousands upon thousands of avoidable deaths.

Those who presided over that failure have no place in public life.

The Covid Inquiry finds that if Boris Johnson had called the first lockdown even one week earlier then it could have saved at least 20,000 lives.

Here's a quick reminder of what Johnson was actually doing during those weeks

A Government of cowards.

Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.

They can't get away with this.

The government should be ashamed that its migration policies are being cheered on by Tommy Robinson and Reform.

Instead of standing up to anti-migrant hate, this is laying the foundations for the far-right.

I questioned the Home Secretary on how she can be proposing such obviously cruel policies.

Why do they lie about something so easily verifiable?
The Home Secretary says "we have become the destination of choice in Europe, clearly visible to every people smuggler and would-be illegal migrant across the world"

That is a factually untrue claim: the Home Office shows that the UK is fifth, getting 1/10 claims, while Germany gets 1/5 claims

Even if the truth is established later, the mind of the listener has been influenced by the statement, and so the aim is achieved.
