Why is this allowed @Ofcom ? This man Anderson is not just any MP he is Vice Chairman of the Conservative Party. How can that be balanced ? What is the point of @Ofcom if it fails to regulate ?

Impressive. Often nature simply needs a helping hand and then it will do the rest. Confirms that willow is a major player in restoring biodiversity not least because it supports a high level of insects as it flowers annually ie it is a pollinator @EnergyCropsUK @Mike_Pratt_NWT

Paul Powlesland: Let there be life! Pleased to report my experiment to find a cheap way to naturalise hard river edges in urban areas appears to be successful. Last winter I coppiced long willow branches, put them in hessian bags of silt & dropped them into the Roding; many trees are now growing

Re @TCorbynwasright Hello Tynedale Socialists.
How are the three of you? Willing to put a name up or are you going to continue to hide your identity?
PS Corbyn was wrong.

All timber framed and storing carbon, if I’m not mistaken? Hence substituting for concrete & steel both of which have high levels of embodied carbon. Good looking buildings with a good climate story to tell.

It might not seem like much, but this is fantastic news & a big step towards net zero. Lack of available insurance has been the barrier preventing £billions of development in timber, w/ concrete and steel used instead. Insurance unlocks huge carbon emission reductions 🌅🌲🪵🏗️🏢

There’s more carbon stored in the peatland of northern England than in the forests of the U.K., France & Germany combined. Please don’t mess with the peat.
