The fight to ban sandeel fishing has been fought for 30 years - Euan Dunn from @Natures_Voice being an extraordinary advocate and the win this year was an incredible and vital achievement. It’s appalling and predictable the EU commission is contesting it.

Sandeels provide a vital food source for important fish species such as bass, cod, haddock, whiting, sea trout and Atlantic Salmon. The Trust stands with dozens of organisations across the UK and Europe in condemning the EU commission's decision to contest the closure of sandeel…

Andrew Bailey is right. Most people don't realise how shockingly *bad* the UK's goods trade has been after Brexit and the pandemic. UK exports are 23% lower than the pre-2020 trend and imports are 16% below the trend.

Pleased to say I'm heading over to a platform that's got a much more wholesome feel, than this one has developed. I'm wrightclaire at BlueSky if you'd like to join too! It seems that since Trump won the election there's an understandable mass exit from X #joinBlueSky

The debate I led yesterday heard testimony from MPs across the South West whose constituents have seen a collapse in NHS dentistry. It's time for change: reform of the NHS dental contract. We need the resources to train and retain dentists in South West England.

Please read this. It's literally been 8 years in the writing. The first wave of tech disruption of democracy 2016-2024 is over. What starts now is something much, much worse: the age of information chaos. 1/ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

This is…scary. A civil society group that researches disinformation being threatened with prosecution. It’s so hard to contemplate let alone process what is coming

It is beyond that a man accused of rape and sexual assault among other charges is more electable in the eyes of the American people than Kamala Harris who has fought for decency and women’s rights. Thinking of women in America this morning #ElectionDay #USAElection2024


What horrific news to wake up to. Just how?

"The American electorate is on the verge of turning around and saying, we'll have more of that, please.” Donald Trump is on course to win a second term as US president, after taking a huge early lead over Kamala Harris articles.globalplayer.com/2GXq94AEwuWUML… @maitlis | @jonsopel |…

The govt says they'll build with nature in mind. Birds reliant on our 🏡 need swift bricks, a uniquely vital measure, to be mandated to save them from extinction. On the 2YEAR anniversary of #TheFeatherSpeech We ask @AngelaRayner @mtpennycook @SteveReedMP to act @ZacGoldsmith

The Taliban have now BANNED women from hearing each other’s voices in public or private settings. This is nothing short of vile, inhumane barbarity. It’s not just oppression—it’s a ruthless assault on Afghan women’s very existence. lbc.co.uk/news/taliban-b…
