Please help bees, butterflies and birds by reducing the mowing this year! By leaving a patch of grass in your garden to flower you'll be helping wildlife while reducing effort, cost and carbon emissions. Cartoon courtesy @sepponet

At Addinghan nr Ilkley on the 20th July, more details to follow. Sorting out dates for other areas too, plus it has been submitted to one more film festival. It is vital that people get to understand this freshwater world. It maybe the Wharfe but it is every river.

Actor Steve Coogan has joined protestors in a very high profile fight to stop sewage being dumped into Lake Windermere in the Lake District by the local water company, United Utilities.
He tells @susannareid100 & @edballs that he is calling on the company to clear up the lake.

The 24th week of the Strike Against Sewage is about to begin. We will be here for 24-hours from 10am until 10am tomorrow morning – demanding an end to sh*t in Windermere.
Please join us at any point over the next 24-hours. Our special guest Steve Coogan will be here at 1pm this afternoon, so come down to UU’s Disinformation Centre to say hello.
Plus, if you’re in the Lake District today, keep your eyes peeled for our Save Windermere van which will be driving around all day, making sure everyone knows the dirty truth about United Utilities operations in this National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Snap a pic and tag us on socials for the chance to win a Save Windermere tee.

Our wildlife is at risk. UK Government has approved the use of a deadly, bee-killing pesticide.
Why, when we owe so much to our pollinators, are they being put in danger?

"Raising bills to pay for Thames Water failures ‘utterly outrageous’, says Hunt."
And he's right. Well said. Now who's next for the financial intensive care unit, @SouthernWater anyone?

People from the future will look back at this point and ask in wonder why we did nothing when the alarms were going off.

The GCSE grades of poorer children were improved if they grew up using a SureStart Centre! Who’d have thought it - the last @UKLabour Government. Politics make a difference. #Thingsgotbetter

Problem for Tories is when they shout “Angela Rayner!” most people think…
Yeah but Wragg, Mone, Johnson, Ashcroft, Sunak, Hancock, Zahawi, Hunt, McVey, Pincher, Bone, Jenrick, Braverman, Patel, Benton, peerages, donors, expenses….
The stench of Tory degeneracy is overpowering.
