I cannot even begin to underline to you what a victory this is for Fish Legal, Pickering Fishery Association and ultimately every river in the country, just immense. The scandal is that they had to take this case at all and the 16 years the EA have wasted. I now look forward to discussing

I'm forcing votes in the Senate to block the sale of $8.8 billion in heavy bombs to Israel. We must not be complicit in the destruction of Gaza. History won't forgive us. Every Senator who supports the rule of law should vote for these resolutions. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Such respect for Humza Yousaf and his stand on Gaza

An Teallach horseshoe today. Nine glittering hours on 400-million-year-old sandstone. White-tailed eagle riding the thermals; ptarmigan on the quartzite; raven gleaming silver. Blue ridgelines receding; next stop Newfoundland for the eye looking westwards. June conditions in

Hello––I'm involved in helping heal a river: the wild & spectacular Mutehekau Shipu (or Magpie) in NE Canada. We're raising funds to clean up a junk-heap we found c.100 miles up the system. Stove, fridge, oil drums... Images of river+junk below. Fundraiser here:

It's making me very happy to see American readers & reviewers taking Nan Shepherd's slender, glittering classic of mountain literature, The Living Mountain, to their hearts. The first US ever edition is out this month, some 80 years after Nan wrote it! nytimes.com/2025/04/06/boo…

The Wildlife Trusts are among those who Keir Starmer&Rachel Reeves refer to as “blockers”- but they have managed to deliver 1000s of homes alongside nature. I visited a newt paradise on a housing estate in south east London (and yes, bats live there too!) theguardian.com/environment/20…

Palm Sunday in Gaza: Al Ahli Hospital attacked

“Water is also being used as a weapon of war. In early March…Israel cut off the electricity supply to Gaza’s main operational desalination plant. The situation now could not be more desperate. ‘Gaza is a killing field’.” theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

A 450-yo oak is felled without permission/consultation by Toby Carvery, who falsely claimed it was "dead". A tree alive when The Gunpowder Plot was hatched, which supports a web of 2000+ species, is in pieces. Legal protection for heritage trees needed. enfielddispatch.co.uk/toby-carvery-a…

'Amira was never formally charged. His crime, as he understood it, was “incitement”: he had posted a few lines by the Syrian poet Nizar Qabbani on Facebook. (“O mad people of Gaza / The age of political reason / Has long departed / So teach us madness.”)' harpers.org/archive/2025/0…

The Trump-Supreme Court battle is not really the crisis. The crisis is here now. Trump is enacting an insidious coordinated attack on our institutions of democratic accountability, designed to crater democracy before next fall. 1/ A long 🧵to explain the plan & how we stop it.

“If I die, I want a loud death. I don’t want to be just breaking news…I want a death that the world will hear.” She was about to get married; a film about her life in Gaza had just been finished. 10 of her family were killed with her. theguardian.com/world/2025/apr…

A brilliant grist essay on the vast de-damming of the Klamath River in Oregon/California: a project that’s led to the restoration of one of the largest West Coast salmon runs & has also “set a profound new precedent for how the U.S. manages its water.” grist.org/project/indige…
