The 1st of our osprey chicks has fledged! 😍 Amber took her first flight at just 55 days old. And just as importantly, her first landing back on the nest. One moment their world is the width of a double bed, the next they rule the glen. In a few weeks they will cross continents. Incredible!
Stamp duty and council tax are terrible taxes. Land value tax could replace both - and Andy Burnham has backed it for 16 years. Who wins? Who loses? What happens to house prices? LVT could drive growth. But it isn’t easy. Our model shows its promise - and its problems.

I watched yesterday's webinar on this subject, and it really does feel like a whole new frontier of exciting possibilities and potential is opening up in how we grow food, and how that impacts on the natural world. Hope at a time when it's in short supply!
George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 10mo ago1. Some good news at last. This week’s column is about the amazing thing a couple of us stumbled into three years ago, which we’ve now developed into a global research programme. It doesn’t change everything, of course, but it could help change quite a lot. + 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
