It is disgusting that Peter Mandelson was ever hired as US Ambassador by the UK Government. We now hear that after receiving £75,000 severance pay, that Mandelson received daily welfare checks. What about the poor women who were abused by his chum? Did they ever get welfare checks?
BREAKING: Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister Darren Jones confirms the first tranche of the Peter Mandelson / Jeffrey Epstein documents will be published to Parliament this afternoon after PMQs
Here's a fun nature fact about Ring-tailed lemurs. 💚

Sperm whales have seemingly developed a strange defence mechanism. They drop bubbles of poo (in pods) and waft the poo bubbles towards predators using their tails to do so.
I wonder what predators think about that.
I had an early mother's day pressie. Found it on my doorstep. I think the birds will enjoy it 💚
Did you know that some flowers are able to sense when bees are near and quickly make nectar sweeter.
Nature is AMAZING!
I woke up in a grumpy mood which has been made worse by idiotic people on X pushing for more North Sea oil exploration thinking it will make energy bills cheaper. It won't. Oil is sold on the global market so we cannot have a reduction on our energy bills.
Somebody, please ask all these Trump-fluffing British politicians exactly what their policy will be regarding the Iranian refugee crisis they are so desperate to create.

Just imagine having spent so little time in his constituency, Farage loses his seat at the next GE. That would be the end for Reform and the people of Clacton could vote in an MP that cares.
Trump is a lunatic. 👇
You have to be a complete scumbag to fawn over a President who starts a war for no legitimate reason. You have to be a complete arse to suck up to said President and run and tell tales about the UK.

A new nesting tower has been installed at a green space to help support a struggling bird species.💚
Malvern Hills District Council installed a tower at End Hill Way in Malvern Vale, Worcestershire, to provide a safe nesting space for house martins.

It's the simple things in life that counts. For me, a trip to the park to feed the ducks and swans. 💚
Just seen my first Brimstone butterfly of the year. That gorgeous yellow colour of the wings always makes me smile. 💚
Good news: Condors almost certainly incubating egg in northern California www.yahoo.com/news/article...
Here was one of my Condor moments, in Arizona 9 and 10 June 2011 markavery.info/blog/archive...
More than 16,000 new species are discovered annually according to research at The University of Arizona. This is important if we are to protect species going forward but exciting to think what else there is to discover. 💚
Haven't seen Barron Trump signing up to fight for his country. 🤔
At physio yesterday, I spoke to people with varying health conditions and the message from everyone was the same. There is a negative and toxic message aimed at people with disabilities, talking down to people, making them feel worthless. Not acceptable!
Wonderful day for the Greens. What a win and a new MP to represent powerful positive politics. 💚
Can we please have good nature news because it is right and proper not just so it gets nature lovers on side before the May elections?

There's a #BREXIT debate in Westminster Hall right now. £250m in lost taxes per day! Per day!
Brexit was a shambles then and a ball and chain round our feet now.
If you go down to the woods today, you might just be in for a surprise. In woodlands around Northern England and Scotland, something is taking place that’s leaving grey squirrels with a fluorescent pink tinge.

Bad politics
The evidence is rooted in science and yet, climate change is becoming increasingly politicised. Here in the UK, political parties such as Reform UK call efforts to make important changes to adapt to or to halt climate change ‘Net Stupid Zero’. This constant derision..

I have been studying climate change for years - as a writer, and as an environmentalist. It is becoming impossible to ignore the changes, both here in the UK and globally. But why does it seem as if the fight to protect against the extremes of climate change is fizzling out?

It is the battle of the Giants.... the GIANTS of NASTINESS - Nigel Farage and Rupert Lowe. The only good thing I can see about Lowe's new Restore Britain is it divides the toxic right-wing vote. Neither party will protect the average person. Unless you are wealthy, or famous, forget it. #politics
