Mid January & Hesperantha ‘Mrs Hegarty’ is still blooming (since October) here on the Irish north coast, although rather the worse for weather!

Great progress in new poll for Wales.

Absolutely no complacency though. We're campaigning for every vote between now and May 7th.

Wales needs rent controls, nationalised water and funded public services. To do that, Wales needs to vote Green.

Since the last ice age English Bluebells have thrived in our woodlands

For 10,000 years & with no indigenous threats, as an invasive & poisonous species, they slowly got on with their lives

And then non-native Muntjac Deer from Asia escaped from the Woburn Abbey estate

More fantastic action from Animal Rising and the most brilliant result in court, not sure if David Lammy’s plan to remove trial by Juries would extend this far - seems clear to me that Juries are the weak link in an otherwise oppressive approach to protest and criminal conviction attempts.

To the discerning eye there is a reason certain ancient woodland floor is void of any visible sign of life

But below the surface hundreds of thousands of wildflowers are waking up

Not just any flower, these are English Bluebells

Ten thousand years of cyclical wonder & beauty

Israel was thus born out of terrorism. I guess that makes Netanyahu well placed to judge at least. It also makes him a hypocrite, assuming he knows his own history... (6/6)

The terrorist group that bombed the King David Hotel, Irgun, became part of the IDF - an organisation that bombs, kills and maims in Palestine to this day. The leader of that group, Menachem Begin, later became Prime Minister of Israel. (5/6)

Israeli PM and wanted war criminal, Netanyahu, condemns any country that recognises Palestine, he did so in Sept when the UK did it - calling it “an absurd prize for terrorism”. You gotta wonder if he knows the history of his own country - here’s why… (1/6)

Note the revealing terminology from the truly deranged Daily Express. "Nigel Farage" is leading their poll*, but "Labour" plummets.

Talk about a one-man party. Reform are nothing without him. (Actually they're nothing with him either, but you know what I mean)...

Nigel Farage leads bombshell poll on next General Election while Labour plummets
Reform UK would do well if a General Election were held today, a poll has suggested.
