I’ve never seen a more British arrest video in my life, such sarcastic stoicism in the face of it all. Surreal. The man being arrested is Tim Crosland, a former government lawyer. https://t.co/3rDhxCT3UR

Francesca Albanese speaks to truth again & again: ‘Genocide starts with dehumanisation’ ‘Genocide of Jews in Europe happened because of racism and the agendas of monsters’ ‘A belief in the superiority of white Europeans’ ‘Across the world Palestinians 🇵🇸 have been dehumanised’

#Birds The amazing American dipper (Cinclus mexicanus). A semi-aquatic songbird which swims underwater in the mountain streams of western North America. Their lovely bubbling song is so loud it can be heard over the rushing water. https://t.co/C9DfqToII9

If you see 'responsible' Scottish salmon in the supermarket - even if it's greenwashed @rspcaassured @ASC_aqua @SoilAssociation - please don't put it in your shopping trolley. Scottish salmon belongs in the bin like these poor fish @MowiScotlandLtd who are collateral damage.

Labor just voted with the Coalition to kill THEIR OWN Nature Positive reforms🤯 Enough crossbenchers voted to keep it alive in the Senate for Labor to have passed their long promised reform. Neither of the major parties will stand up for Nature 😥

WATCH: “We’re gonna get rid of fact-checkers…” In what looks almost like a hostage video, Zuckerberg bends the knee to Trump entirely — doing away with Facebook fact-checkers and moving the process to Texas under the guise of protecting free expression.

In November 2023, @CurlewAction held a meeting in Westminster about the growing demand for green skills, yet no GCSE in Natural History on the horizon. We need a nature-literate society to tackle the huge issues of biodiversity loss and climate change. https://t.co/AOZftthlXT

Re: Stalled Natural History GCSE... “We’ve been saying to Labour it’s there, it’s ready, it’s a very popular thing you could do. The message we have got in response is that it is seen as a Conservative party initiative so has to be reassessed.” https://t.co/4yW2ro6HtV

On #WorldFisheriesDay just remember that half of global fisheries are overfished, and another 40% are fished to maximum levels. Big Fishing is emptying our seas of life. Eradicating biodiversity at a shocking rate. Time to #EndOverfishing & support thriving seas.

In 2017, the Scottish Government - resulting from leadership by the former Environment Minister Roseanna Cunningham - recognised a need to protect parts of our inshore seabed from scallop dredging. Proposals have been on the table for 7 YEARS but no action. Meanwhile...👇

Scallop divers in Orkney are calling for urgent support, reports @The_Orcadian, as inshore dredging threatens to legally damage their fishing grounds. When are our politicians and government going to take action to support lower-impact fishing businesses?
