WELL THIS IS EXCITING!
After years of having an absolute blast working on other people's winter skills courses, I've decided it's finally time to run my own!
The first one will be based in Glencoe, between 26th-28th January and I cannot wait!

More about the course: https://www.arranwildwalks.com/blog/2023/10/31/winter-skills-weekends

If this course is popular, I hope to offer more like it, and if you've got a small group already, and these dates don't suit you, get in touch so I can sort something out that does!

Winter Skills Weekends — Arran Wild Walks

New for 2024, we are offering winter skills weekends based around the Glencoe area in the West Highlands. These courses are perfect for novice winter walkers with a good base of summer hill experience, who are keen to spread their wings in winter. £200 Per person

The production of new plastics is also a HUGE problem for the climate.

99% of plastic is made from fossil fuels and plastic production could DOUBLE within the next 10-15 years, and TRIPLE by 2050 if the industry has its way.

We need a strong #PlasticsTreaty to turn off the tap.

Arresting the person who is trying to save our planet for protesting against the people who knowingly are destroying it seems ludicrous, but that's the idiotic world we live in. I'm a non apologetic supporter of #gretathunberg she is doing what more of us should be doing. #climatechange #climatecrisis https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-67136772

@sianberry hi Sian, I'm sorry I didn't get to say hello at the Conference in person. It was an inspiring few days! I wrote a piece for @CentralBylines - https://centralbylines.co.uk/politics/the-green-party-conference-2023/

I wanted to say if you're maintaining a list of canvassing volunteers for your bid for Brighton Pavillion, please add me to it. I'm in Windsor but always happy to visit Brighton and would like to help out.

I am just filling in the paperwork to stand for us in Maidenhead

I recently volunteered for #Oxfam at the brilliant Beautiful Days festival in Devon and wrote this peice Twenty years of Beautiful Days https://centralbylines.co.uk/twenty-years-of-beautiful-days/ about if for Bylines Networks @CentralBylines
Twenty years of Beautiful Days

Volunteering as a Beautiful Days Festival steward offers a new perspective, great music, and helps raise money for charity.

@[email protected] Kate I'm a regular visitor to your National Grid feed. So many times have I used it to prove to the local sceptics that renewables aren't some niche thing. Anyway it's the Mozilla Observatory page that's the latest eye opener. I thought I'd have this covered as you do but my site scored an F! So thanks for the heads up!

OK journalists, now we all know that it was Huw Edwards, he didn't do anything illegal, and that all the relentless stories you've been writing about him for the last week have put him in hospital with a severe mental health crisis (jolly well done, guys, you must be so proud of yourselves), can you all get back to reporting proper news?

Like, for example, what happens now that the government and Johnson have failed to comply with the order to hand over the WhatsApp messages?

George Osborne’s legacy is a fourfold increase in malnutrition in England https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/07/10/george-osbornes-legacy-is-a-fourfold-increase-in-malnutrition-in-england/. This is what Tory austerity has done. But, apparently, it was very nasty of someone to protest at George Osborne's wedding at the weekend. I beg to disagree.
The stock market is failing according to the CBI. So why don’t we just let it go?

I posted this on Twitter this morning: https://twitter.com/RichardJMurphy/status/1942861045426516103 My point is serious. The CBI is saying that the situation with regard to the UK stock exchange is getting desperate, because it is losing out to overseas markets and not attracting sufficient business. The question that needs to be asked is, why is that?...
