Major oil firms make $93bn profits in just 3 months amid war and climate crisis. They shift profits, dodge taxes, fuel poverty and inflation. They don't bear the social cost of their business. Forever holding people/govts to ransom. Polluters must pay. Need windfall tax now.

‘Plant it and they will come’ - slightly misquoting #rayliotta. Our garden is choc full of bees and butterflies and other pollinators. Makes me very happy. 🌱🌿🐝🦋
Judging today at this contemporary Japanese inspired garden we created in Marlow for design awards to be announced next March. Wish us luck! 🍀 🌱🌿🎌🍁
📉 Brexit has led to a shortfall of £100bn in profits for UK businesses. ❌ That is a less investment, that is less tax revenue, that is fewer jobs. https://www.ft.com/content/421e904c-1fe1-4375-ad37-96dc26e2eebc

I see @yougov.co.uk has run out of sensible questions to ask the population. All other matters having been resolved, this is the salient issue of our times!
@miattafahnbulleh.bsky.social I think you need to update your Bsky profile when you get a minute!
Surprise surprise. Been saying this for months. The SE in particular is suffering from lack of water resources. Why would we waste it on AI data centres?

Great to see our local MP @sarahgreenld.bsky.social today and be able to discuss saving our vital Chilterns Chalk streams. Congrats on your 5 year anniversary since that fateful Chesham & Amersham By-election Sarah! #saveourstreams
Leaving the decision on whether to improve habitat to landowners voluntarily leaves us in the same place weve always been. What would be the impetus for them to change? www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Plan to restore nature in England by 2030 criticised as ‘completely insufficient’
Critics accuse ministers of failing to take control of nature crisis and leaving it to private landowners to act voluntarily

Just had four friends over for a long lunch in the garden. Get to my desk and find out I missed everything. And @mrjamesob.bsky.social is still on holiday!!!! 😬
@aiannucci.bsky.social sorry to hear you’re still not your usual self - missing you on Strong Message Here. Get well soon!
Ethereal silver blues - sea holly (Eryngium) is a star of the summer garden. Reliably perennial and drought tolerant - it will take all the hot sun we can throw at it. What’s not to love? 🌱
The light is beautiful just now. Finally feels cooler too.
At least we have a cool shady area to relax outside. Very sorry for those who don’t.
‘Our political system is toxic masculinity in constitutional form and it therefore attracts people who share those values.’ Accurate summary of why our political system is so shit and this just might be a turning point towards the change we so desperately need. 👏
Ian Dunt@iandunt.bsky.social · last mo.This is the single greatest opportunity for constitutional reform in our lifetime. One of ours is about to get into Downing Street. That never happens. iandunt.substack.com/p/finally-so...
‘ Badenoch said that there had been a “villain in Britain’s deindustrialisation. His name is Ed Miliband and he has made our country poorer,” she said, to applause.’ What a clown car the Conservative Party has become. Two words on industrialisation and impoverishment? Thatcher and Brexit.
George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social · last mo.It's just one long stream of BS from these fossil fuel-backed clowns. Adopting their policies would destroy a million jobs (see next post) while creating almost none in return. Total environmental and social vandalism. The absolute state of "conservatism". www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I can tell tonight is going to be wild already. Bumped into @rosieisaholt.bsky.social in the car park and @mrhenrymorris.substack.com in the cafe!
