in.aviva.com/4rQJF1u Aviva, the insurer at whose behest Wivenhoe Town council seems to be choosing to pursue felling our trees, has today announced profits of £2,203m, up 25%. At what cost to nature and communities such as ours?
I love it!
Some photos of our trees looking fab in the past couple of days. First, at sunset tonight. Second, in the misty fog from yesterday. We are trying to ensure a fair decision making process for the fate of both the old oak known as Old King George and the nearby horsechestnut
@sngreenparty.bsky.social Oooh, didn’t know you had a BSky account! Would be worth adding a link to the website / FB page 😊 💚
I think this is beyond ‘democracy’ now. The constitution is nothing to him & his cronies. Who is taking a stand?
Labour gov’t is a disgrace.
Thank you. 😊
Those are true too. I’d say all of mine contribute to peace of mind (for me, anyway!).
The Houston Rodeo starts today.😡
Where assholes come out of the shadows & celebrate their animal abuse together as a community.
Y'all can learn my path from meat-eating, cattle rancher’s wife to animal-loving #vegan sanctuary founder by pre-ordering my book:

Probably AI.
This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?
This is amazing.
When the government kills a crucial report, independent scientists decide to write it anyway and release it outside of government channels.
That’s science serving society, even when our political leaders don’t.
C’mon USA. Please do something about your leader, before the whole world goes up in smoke.

What a lovely sentiment at the end too.
Makes a refreshing change in politics. 💚

Heading for the sun.
Greater Periwinkle growing through a gap in a fence on The Avenues, Norwich today.
Looks like it’s waving hello 😊
Remember guys, you can’t afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.
That’s why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy.
The dealer needs to keep you addicted.
Pretty Common Frog in a paper go bag, rescued from a busy street and released by our garden pond.
Wow! Not heard of that before!
We just had frogspawn in pond for the first time, just a couple of days after Mr M brought a frog home, rescued from pavement near shops! Must’ve found a friend in our garden! 🐸
Also, first hedgehog visit of the season to our feeding station last night! 🦔😊
Hey US & U.K. news channels. How about you report more on this? @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @channel4news.bsky.social
#Ecocide #Iran
Imagine you were living under this?
Imagine also the impacts on birds, mammals, invertebrates etc…..
This madness has got to be stopped. 😡⚠️

"Britain’s voting system encourages the belief that complex social conflicts can be settled not by compromise, but by conquest."
Completely right. It's never been more clear that no one party can speak for the whole country.
That's why we need PR 👇
The Lady Chapel at @stalbanscathedral.bsky.social celebrates local plants thanks to the women of the parish and a green-fingered Victorian sculptor, in my @theguardian.com #countrydiary today. #naturewriting
A cover-up?

From mandatory ID cards to arresting pensioners for holding up cardboard signs to cosy deals with US tech spy firms:
It's good to see lawyers pushing back on their increasingly authoritarian Govenrment.
We must protect jury trials.
"Utterly failed"
@rachelmillward.bsky.social lays out the reality of privatised water - explaining why water must be returned to public hands.
A good reason to let your ragwort grow (except directly in animal grazing areas).
Clip of text from BBC news article 23rd January 2024 stating that North Sea oil & gas is extracted by private companies who sell on the open market. 80% North Sea oil is exported because it can’t be refined in the U.K.
Allison might need to read a bit more.
Especially on fossil fuel markets!
I’m v. proud my work led to law change, but found out recently that this new right only applied to dads working for employer for 6 months+. A bereaved father challenged this & that loophole fortunately closed last year.
We now need an attitude shift to value caring & to pay for care jobs decently.
We are so grateful to be over the 75% milestone towards our £20,000 funding goal, thanks to all who have helped to this point. There's still time to bid on our silent auction too, with some amazing lots available - from a day in a beach hut to artworks www.thesentinelgallery.co.uk/silent-aucti...
