Green Party raises more in a day than they did in six months
Green Party supporters are here to do two things: fundraise for the local elections and suck humbug, and they're all out of humbug

The world’s oldest known sculpture of a horse!

This little ivory stopped me in my tracks at the V&A recently.
Dated about 1200, the expressions of agony in the tiny faces - of Joseph of Arimathea as he lowers Christ's body from the cross, and of the Christ himself - is astonishing and deeply moving.

Things used in everyday life are the real archaeological treasures! These sewing #needles were made from animal bone some 15,000 years ago. Some designs simply don't need to be improved, because form and functions were perfectly matched from the start. Form follows function! 🧵1/2

Labour have lost voters who care about nature to the Green Party - a majority of people in the UK care about restoring nature. It’s understandable as Labour lied about protecting nature up until the day before the election and have since thrown nature under the bus.
A poll of readers of my monthly newsletter (464 responses) shows that 44% of them say they voted #Labour in 2024 but only 7% would vote that way in a general election tomorrow.
Massive swing to the #Greens.
