Meeting The Horses on Our Street With Ted Hughes youtu.be/Kw0S4TuREkg via @YouTube Then I saw the horses, huge in the morning light, two together, megalith still... their draped manes and tilted hind-hooves, ... May I still meet my memory in so lonely a place...

Leave.EU actively courted far right fascists during the referendum campaign. The BBC and Robbie Gibb have serious questions to answer over their failure to run this story in 2016. The truth is ugly but it must be exposed.
Brexit-backer Arron Banks repeatedly denied that Leave.EU appealed to National Front supporters – in a bid to get the BBC to drop an investigation youtube.com/watch?v=i4jqtq6_…

There must be a full judicial inquiry with criminal powers into Arron Banks and his Leave.EU chums. We cannot allow those who cheat and lie to mock and subvert our democracy (using millions from who knows where) to prevail.

Throwback to when poetry was used to tackle pollution. #WorldPoetryDay 📚✍️
The project was a collaboration between researchers in @shefenglish and @SheffieldChem and can be replicated to help tackle pollution in cities across the world sheffield.ac.uk/news/nr/cata…

Last week @arron_banks & @andywigmore went to Veneto, the heartland of Italy's Lega Nord. Today, the plan is revealed. The fascists have agreed to help Britain exit without a deal. Salvini will block an extension of article 50. We're fucked.

A stunning story that is absolutely crucial to UK also. Because you know what else Murdoch wants? Brexit. Or as he put it: "When I go into Downing Street they do what I say. When I go to Brussels they take no notice." @michaelgove in his pocket. @nigel_farage now on the pay roll
Plastics, pollution, global warming. Tony Ryan Is the scientist behind our #WeNo catalytic poem. We salute you @pvcryan !
Ocean plastic pollution: A convenient but distracting truth sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
We should use the convenient truth of the 4% oil & gas that can seen choking baby seals to focus on the inconvenient truth of the 93% that we're burning and we can't see choking us.

In the name of the bee
And of the butterfly
And of the breeze
Amen
