In the past, DWP software has wrongly flagged more than 200,000 people for suspected fraud.
Giving them more powers to monitor our bank accounts will further erode our civil liberties. We co-wrote to @leicesterliz to stop these policy proposals.

Craneflies, a 🧵
We are approaching the time of year where the media publish scare stories about the annual emergence of certain species of #cranefly (aka #DaddyLonglegs).
This happens every year (the cranefly emergence & the anti-bug stories).

Flying insects have declined by more than 75% in three decades. Please help in gardens and green spaces by:

For this week's #wildflowerhour #ByTHeSea, I give you Yarrow Broomrape, Orobanche purpurea growing by the sea in NW Cumbria.
This delightful, very rare species is a parasite, with the host being Yarrow (also in the photo). Records map shows just how rare it is nationally!

This country has a far-right problem.
This country has a gender critical problem.
The two are inextricably linked.

We say it every month but it's true... how is it August already?!
At around six weeks old, the young bats begin to catch insects for themselves and no longer need their mothers’ milk (although some might still be eating both).
The summer maternity colonies will begin to disperse and bats may move to mating roosts.

people replying saying “oh so you don’t think sports should be split by sex???” and actually I don’t, I think all the sports should mixed, everyone should be able to take whatever drugs they want, they can wear whatever they want and they have to eat a hot dog before each event

Ultimately you can still be annoyed that you have to drive a bit slower.
But it is getting increasingly hard to argue that this policy isn't saving lives.
Evidence based policy seems to work - who'd have thought it?

🌟✨Yesterday the last 2 chicks fledged.
An extraordinary year. Brilliant result from the efforts of so many farmers, land owners, field workers, volunteers, gamekeepers, donors and the local communities. A fantastic outcome for our curlew population. Many thanks to all. 🙏🙏
