#fifaworldcup This presentation of the World Cup Peace Prize to Donald Trump is nauseating beyond belief. FIFA’s president is so far up Trump’s arse he can almost see out of Trump’s mouth. Yuck!

The warning couldn’t be clearer. ⚠️
Slashing the nature-friendly farming budget would be catastrophic for the nature and climate crisis, and for our long-term food security.
What's more, it would leave the UK Government’s credibility on climate and nature in tatters.

Brian Eno, as ever, hits the nail on the head when it comes to the selfishness of the wealthy. A 2% tax on wealth of more than £10 million makes sense and #Labour need to step up to the plate rather than being shit scared of the right wing media.

Phase 1 of hedgerow and tree planting completed! Thanks to @derbyswildlife.bsky.social for all their help with this from assessment, survey, obtaining the c.1,200 plants & helping us plant them. It was hard work but worth it! All part of the Derwent Living Forest scheme. Phase 2 to follow in Oct.

We have just spent a day planting c750 trees/hedging plants with the help of two peeps from Derbyshire Wildlife Trust. It looks awful due to the plastic tree guards, but give it about 3 years and we’ll have a haven for wildlife. Now gloriously knackered!

Trump and Vance bullying Zelensky was disgraceful - any right-minded American should be ashamed and embarrassed. Putin must be delighted because his asset has come good. I think everyone needs to realise that the USA simply cannot be trusted under this administration.

I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.

The Zelenskiy/Trump meeting went wrong when JD Vance got stuck in so aggressively. US Vice-Presidents have usually seen their job as trying to be emollient; Vance, by contrast, seemed actively to want to stir things up.
