Email from a publisher via my website addressed to...

...my husband "Stuart" aka Wally, asking if he'd submit photos from the site for publication in a book.

OK- the site mentions us both, but my name comes FIRST on every page, including the bio page, plus the correspondent had to SCROLL PAST ME on the bio page to even discover his real name as elsewhere he's just called Wally.

All the photos are mine. https://www.arranwildwalks.com/

When your multi-national energy provider has to be *told* not to send their brother Dave's mate round with a crowbar to forcibly install pre-payment meters in poor people's houses. 😡

The ongoing indulgence of Johnson is demeaning for our country. The man is a lying, contemptuous, self-serving disgrace. He abused his power and got kicked out for it.
No to an honours list. No to foreign ego trips. And no to paying his legal bills. Absolutely not.

Ministers say one minute they want to "embed nature at heart of every decision the Govt will take" - then the next minute they give green light *again* to a pesticide known to kill millions of bees, crucial to our natural world? Yet more nature-washing

Flying shame: the scandalous rise of private jets

Last week, Rishi Sunak flew from London to Blackpool – his third private jet trip in 10 days. He’s far from the only one using air travel for short journeys. Just how much damage is this doing?

#bbcwato so if a single parent on universal credit earned even a fiver over what they should’ve to be entitled to the measly pittance this govt doles out … they would be penalised. At once.

This is a powerful article about how the fossil fuel industry keeps insisting on a scarcity model as renewables ramp up to provide abundance.

Yesterday I was part of a group that peacefully protested the expansion of a coal mine in Germany. We were kettled by police and then detained but were let go later that evening.

Climate protection is not a crime.
