I'm no maths wiz (if only Sunak had been PM when I was a kid) but I reckon my followers increase from 15 to 15,000 is a rise of 100,000%. Thanks, Nadine xx

When this is over, I hope all visitors to Speyside remember this and act accordingly. It is a very difficult time for most people, particularly those working in the hospitality industry, but this is callous beyond

Aviemore Coylumbridge Hotel sent this letter to staff today. Not just fired but chucked out of their accommodation with no notice and no redundancy pay! @BritanniaLtd Britannia Hotels should be ashamed of themselves. Certainly no "room at the inn" here, disgusting.

This simply has to be the worse fake news this week - quite an accomplishment telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/04… So let’s ask what is actually responsible for the real decline in Skylarks and farmland birds . Warning - unfair advantage if you understand even basic ecology

Thought for the day : Those you disagree with aren’t enemies or traitors. They don’t deserve to be “knifed or lynched or hanged”. They are just people you disagree with. Those who report news you don’t like aren’t fake or frauds or enemies of the people. They are just reporters.

Out at Bradley Common #Cheshire one of our #FlagshipPonds site with @grumpy_toad . Local wildlife enthusiasts joined us to find out how special the pond on the Common are. Also found rare water beetle Hydrochara caraboides, which we thought was lost from the site. #HLFsupported

What we see in the #Carillion collapse is the lethal combination of privatisation and limited liability. The shareholders take the profits - in spades - but pick up neither the debts nor the risk of collapsing services.
