Very powerful piece by Gordon Brown. Difficult for the Starmer government to ignore what is looking a very dangerous case for the Murdoch empire. I have now spoken to police officers who say they were misled by Murdoch’s empire. I won’t let this rest theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
It's such a simple positive step for nature – a £35 hollow brick in every new home for endangered cavity-nesting birds, especially marvellous swifts. Builders in favour too. All Labour MPs have to do is vote for a Labour MP's amendment to make it happen. theguardian.com/environment/20…
Good puffin numbers on skomer again this year, one of the few places they’re increasing in number Skomer Island
I once dug up a Roman sandal at wonderful Vindolanda Trust. I’ll never forget it. Congratulations to all.
Two rare male Hen Harriers have disappeared from their nest sites at RSPB Geltsdale within a few days of each other. 🚨 It follows the 2023 shooting of another Geltsdale male on neighbouring land. This shocking loss points to yet more illegal killing: rspb.org.uk/whats-happenin…
70% of UK land is farmed. If we want nature to recover, this is where it happens. Farmers like James Rebanks are already doing it – farming with wildlife, not against it. But without proper funding, we risk losing it all. Rachel Reeves: increase funding, grow our future.

Passion and common sense. A rare partnership. Go James Rebanks
Brown hares are a cherished symbol of spring and countryside, but sadly their numbers have declined by around 80% in the last century. They face many challenges including habitat loss, predators and climate. Thanks to author Chloe Dalton, their story is back in the spotlight👏
Stuart Maconie Thank you for your utterly spellbinding talk at the Old Fire Station in Carlisle last night. Loved it, as too your book "WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM THEIR FRIENDS" which will be a permanent bedside read, as a lifelong Fab Four fan. Thanks too chair Tom Speight
