We need your help again. Coul Links is an extraordinary coastal dune habitat, home to rare and remarkable wildlife. But it is now threatened for a second time by plans for an 18-hole golf course that would cause irreparable damage. Your voice could help save it. 👇

“The dense interconnectedness of the human family… means that in terms of our biology, there are no different races. We can all claim ancestry from across the world. Nevertheless, our politics is obsessed with distinctions based on national identity…” Gaia’s article more relevant than ever:
health care, end poverty!? We need to reduce consumerism. Certainly I don't want to hear about politicians and their flag displays, sickening. Certainly I don't want to drive past flags and painted roundabouts, sickening. Time for a civilised future. Take care both.
@alanstricklandmp.bsky.social @annaturley.bsky.social Still lost and disgusted at UK political parties. Surely, it is a time of difficult changes, but to do with tackling climatic/environmental crises/Ecocide, to rejoin the EU, to aid the world's problem areas, to improve, education,

Should read changes to the planet's future. Of course linked to human activities. Is not now the time for changes? Why are no political parties speaking about the future issues and only seem concerned about winning a few seats next time around. Have we not learnt/advanced? Take care.

Here Farage/Reform equality Barbaric! In the light of Climate crisis, desertification, wars, famine will we not expect millions of migrants over the next few decades? They are the same as us and must be welcomed! What is Starmer/Labour doing to prepare people for the vast differences in lifestyle
@alanstricklandmp.bsky.social @annaturley.bsky.social Strange to mix the words Christian and Barbaric, but is the latter not what the USA is becoming? What with vile Vance on about prayer rather than gun control RFKjr in denying science and experts! Should we have anything to do with Trump&Co??
Don't know if you received this news about Durham Johnston. Mike Connelly (Physics) died a few weeks ago. Hope all is well with you and yours.

@alanstricklandmp.bsky.social @annaturley.bsky.social climate crisis, environmental depletion, Ecocide, wars, famine, deranged power hungry political and religious leaders, failures in health care, higher education. Yet Farage and his poison are all over the media and allowed to corrupt.

far more spending on education, higher education, health care, tackling poverty? Are not Trump, Putin, Farage,Netanyahu totally obnoxious? Do we not need to move on from nationalism and nation states? What future do we have? Take care and enjoy the last days of summer.
The vital issues for all governments/all parties ensuring a future for ourselves and other vital species by tackling climatic environmental crises and Ecocide? Would the UK be better in so many ways, and more civilised, back in the EU, and pressing for further integration? Do we not need
@alanstricklandmp.bsky.social @annaturley.bsky.social So much wrong in the UK and suddenly a strange obsession with boats, migration, and a totally odd love by some of the extreme right! Some suggest Starmer is so unpopular that Labour will not win another term! In the world today are not the

Note the evil, but in terms of numbers minor, issue of boats is all over the press, stirring up the population! Also note universities in crisis, time for free higher education for all, no matter what the subject/cost. What are we becoming?

Note immigration is making headlines again. Yes illegal immigration is grim, but immigration is vital, for doctors, care workers and so much more. I wonder what % of Durham Reform voters are training in medicine, dentistry, care work? How they would feel fleeing war/persecution??
