Barnaby Philip John Webber 11/01/2004-13/06/2023 💔 If you can, share these images of the beautiful soul stolen from us by the worst of humanity. Let his face today burn bright. Barney, I promise you there will be accountability 💛💚 For You. For Grace. For Ian.

Impressive amount of raindrops on webs after the heavy rain this week but I'm curious what negative impacts there are for spiders coping with rain like this. Does it impact the stickiness of the web? Risk of flooding for funnelwebs? @BritishSpiders @NHarnser

#bbcaq It needs to be pointed out that Reform UK are a two-tier Party, with a huge seam of misogyny running right through them. Farage - no outcry about violence against women. Ironic, as a lot of the rioters are domestic abusers.

And once all the non-‘English’ immigrants are expelled, who will RefUK turn on next? Right-wingers always need a folk devil to blame for their woes. #bbcaq

#bbcaq Fully agree with Sergio on the points he makes. The BBC is as complicit as other media outlets in normalising Farage’s vile rhetoric by giving him and his awful Party a platform.

A critically endangered Diademed sifaka hanging on for dear life—but losing grip on existence in this world. Madagascar is stricken with extreme poverty, so hunting these large sifakas for bushmeat has soared, even in protected areas. Slash-and-burn for timber and sugar cane plantations for illegal rum is destroying their food trees. Touchingly, they diligently patrol their territory every morning, carefully scent marking their trees to protect it—but they are defenseless against the ravages we inflict on them. Long-lived and slow-to-reproduce, now also with high infant mortality (50%), wasting in adults and stunting in immatures as we systematically remove their means to exist. The tiny, isolated groups in the fragmented reserves may already be genetically non-viable long-term. It will take a miracle—or someone with enormous wealth— to save this spectacular species from extinction within my lifetime.

My favourite of David Hockney’s work as it featured a cat. But Percy was actually a female cat called Blanche @Number10cat

This is difficult to watch, it's embarrassing, it's enraging, it's shameful. Emma Reynolds the Secretary of State for the Environment and David Hill the head of water at Defra appeared before MPs on Tuesday where they repeated the same old lie, that water company shareholders invest their money in the companies and we, the bill payers, pay them back over 10, 15, 20, 30 years. Even Ofwat have owned up, that's a lie the £104 billion "private sector investment" is coming directly out of your pockets, your bank account. For God sake just tell the truth. Barry Gardiner, you're a star. 👏👏👏

10 years ago Jo Cox was shot and stabbed to death in Birstall by a far right thug. Do you remember the Farage \ Tommy Robinson riots that followed it, No me neither. R.I.P. Jo

Baby Benji, settling in to his first proper home, with me 🥰.

Good morning everyone! 😽.

"Dr" Andy Wakefield was stripped of his medical licence for fraud and gross medical malpractice Not *really * someone to trust on anything

The brilliant @Feargal_Sharkey sums it up "The whole industry’s got to go. Absolutely, without exception" Time to end the privatisation rip off diverting 1/3 OF YOUR WATER BILL into shareholder dividends and debt Are you listening @DefraGovUK ? mirror.co.uk/news/feargal-sh…

Thank you. Since last week, over 7,500 of you have signed my letter to protect Exmoor ponies. Because of that pressure, I have good news. I wrote to Natural England and asked them straight. They have now confirmed, in writing, that there are no current plans to change grazing on Exmoor, and they recognise the Exmoor pony as a rare breed and a vital conservation grazer. Exmoor National Park has said the same. This isn't the end. I have outstanding freedom of information requests from Defra and the Rural Payments Agency, who run the funding schemes, to make sure those reassurances hold for the long term. There is something lasting you can do TODAY! Exmoor Ponies came back from just 50 animals after the Second World War, and the breed's gene pool is still fragile. The Exmoor Pony Society is building a gene bank so we never come that close to losing them again. Donate and help secure the future of the breed.

The idea vaccines cause autism was invented by Andrew Wakefield in 1998 and was so thoroughly debunked he lost his license for gross malpractice And here we are 27 years later RFK Jr dredging up the same nonsense Such a tiresome waste of time

If there is a group that doesn't deserve thugs terrorising its streets it is the people of Belfast. Their city bears the scars of decades of violence and unrest. Shame on the louts subjecting them to more and the cretins encouraging them.
