Bert song 🎼 Whilst each tune sounds beautiful, almost all experts agree that apart from odd exceptions like the ‘thanks for the raisins’ song, every song is a different way to tell other male blackbirds to ‘eff off, this is my garden’

Why aren't Freeports and SEZs being debated on Questiontime? @BBCNews @EuropeanPowell @SalvoFreeports so many unanswered questions on transparency, tax payers money, tax incentives and so much more. @DailyMail @DailyMirror @Telegraph @guardian @guardiannews @BylineTimes

Guess Diseworth will need to plant hedgerows too if developers get their way. The biodiversity loss will be huge. Humans don't exist in isolation. We're part of an infrastructure! Which is essential, not concrete! @EMidsFreeport @ProfBrianCox @nature_org @Natures_Voice

Why would anyone think warehousing is better than this? Struggle to comprehend @SEGROplc @SleathDavid @EMidsFreeport @norasenior1 @EMA_Airport @MAG_PressOffice @AlexJJNorris @Hack4Labour how do you agree to this? @CllrDTaylor @craig_smithUK @CllrJohnLegrys stand up for nature?

If Keir Starmer had said before the election that he would remove the winter fuel allowance from millions of pensioners, add inheritance to family farms and family businesses, council tax & energy price increases, raise university tuition fees, plaster mass-scale solar panels on thousands of acres of prime farmland despite huge local community objections, spaff £22bn of taxpayers’ money on carbon capture machines, give £3bn a year of taxpayers’ money to Ukraine, betray WASPI women, hang out with BlackRock, pledge a 20% cut in meat & dairy and get exposed for receiving over £100,000 worth of freebies - he almost certainly wouldn’t have won. He duped the electorate. An utterly shameless display of snake oil political salesmanship. And still he lectures all of us in that gratingly sanctimonious manner of his like we are all somehow the problem here.

Interesting article that covers many aspects of rural landscape, green energies, and use of certain words and terms. Planners, developers take note, inform yourselves. @NWLeics @LeicsCountyHall @EMidsFreeport @nbre @SEGROplc @SleathDavid @bedform sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Harvest is in, and a new season dawns. @SEGROplc @EMA_Airport @MAG_PressOffice @EMidsFreeport @EMAPressOffice all this means to you is money. Look at it, it's so much more than commercial buildings! Where's your environmental awareness? In a box marked 'do not open ?' @nwldc

Protect our productive arable land from developers @nwldc @LeicsCountyHall let it continue to provide food.
“Economic models make no allowance for breakdowns of supply chains or for outbreaks of war. As we career towards a new, more uncertain age, we are leaving ourselves more exposed than ever before.” Finally: a serious journalist questions our food security. thetimes.co.uk/article/d4f35…
