Instead of using a photo of the current conflagrations caused by climate breakdown, the Telegraph uses a pic of a wind turbine burning ... in February 2025. Because that's the important thing: 17 months ago a turbine ignited. Caption: "It’s time to cease building wind turbines". #FossilFuelStooges

When will people finally realise that going on holiday to sunny southern countries in the EU actually means going into an inferno of heat & wildfires? This Climate Breakdown-denial has had its days. Wake up people!!! 🙏🏻🌍🙏🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

So so sad. 😭 When will we finally see the world leaders wake up to Climate Breakdown? We can only tackle this together. 💔🙏🏻🌍🙏🏻🔥🔥🔥 news.stv.tv/highlands-is...

European airspace has once again been violated by a drone incursion. I commend the Romanian military for their swift and effective response, safeguarding our shared security. Strengthening defence and deterrence along our Eastern border remains a top priority.

Failed politicians shouldn't become unelected, unaccountable law makers for the rest of their lives. This is a fundamental principle of democracy. The House of Lords is a relic long past its sell by date.

This is just a glimpse of what's to come without immediate action. It’s time to treat Scotland's wildfire risk as the national emergency it is. That means investing in prevention, early warning systems, and restoring the natural habitats that make our landscapes more resilient.

Climate Breakdown. 👇🏻 😢🙏🏻💔🌍🔥🔥🔥

The situation is serious and staff, volunteers and partners are at this time focused on doing all they can to support the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service who are coordinating the response.

Over the last week there has been a tireless effort to tackle the ongoing wildfire in the Cairngorms National Park. While encouraging progress had been made thanks to immense support, unfortunately the fire threat has been growing at RSPB Abernethy following a change in weather conditions.
