As the first Swifts of summer arrive in #NorthWales, @rspb.bsky.social asks for help to record their presence and calls on scaffolders to ensure access to nest sites of this Red List bird is kept clear.

After nine months of flight since they leaving their nest, Swifts were over Corwen, Llanfair TH, RSPB Conwy and Aber Ogwen at the weekend. They use the same nest site in roof spaces each year, but...

1. Because this issue is critical, but has received remarkably little coverage, here's a thread pulling out the key themes from my article yesterday, on the Planning and Infrastructure Bill, which puts decades of environmental protections to the torch. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Labour’s great nature sellout is the worst attack on England’s ecosystems I’ve seen in my lifetime | George Monbiot
The horrifying planning bill, which rips up environmental protections, was drafted with CEOs in mind. We know because Keir Starmer told us, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

This is shocking if it goes ahead. Losing my trust @teamlabouruk.bsky.social
Pretty scathing and accurate review of The Planning and Infrastructure Bill proposals from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social

This represents a significant regression on current environmental protection.

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social were your environmental manifesto commitments just lip service?
It's hard to get your head around the scale of the environmental vandalism the Labour government is hoping to unleash. The Planning and Infrastructure Bill is up there with Trump's executive orders. And the reason is the same: corporate power.

Donald Trump again mimics Putin and calls for an election in Ukraine - falsely claiming Zelensky’s approval rating was “at 4%”

Recent polling in fact shows that Zelensky’s approval rating is better than Trumps

This is 100% correct.
It’s a coup. It’s a strategic alliance with Putin. It’s the end of the post-war international order. It’s the triumph of lies over truth and in Putin’s case, evil over good. We are through the looking glass & we all now have to decide who we are & what we stand for

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.

This gang of sex abusers preyed on young children in Walsall, and got away with it for years. What could possibly explain the failure by Nigel Farage, Elon Musk and the Tories to call for a public inquiry about it?
