Yes! The right to wild camp on Dartmoor common land has been restored 🎉🎉
A right is not the same as permission - glad the judges agreed!
Now to extend this to other national parks in England & Wales

So much energy and passion outside court today as the Darwall appeal is heard.
Tory donor and landowner Alexander Darwall clearly had no idea he would ignite a new land movement with his crass court case to ban the plebs from camping out under the stars on Dartmoor… the irony
<div class="rsshub-quote">
Dartmoor Preservation Association: Superb energy outside the Royal Courts of Justice today, showing a profound sense of solidarity in support of reclaiming our access rights on Dartmoor.
@horton_official is live tweeting the case as it unfolds within.

If the European heatwave wasn’t worrying enough then this really is…
Yet our govt doesn’t even see the climate emergency as a top five priority.

Prof. Eliot Jacobson: Global ocean heatwave alert!
Global sea surface temperatures (SST) reached a new record anomaly today. The global SST of 20.98°C (69.76°F) is a record 0.638°C hotter than the 1991-2020 mean.
This is a "code Yikes" heatwave, scientists must use the word "Yikes!" to describe it. https://t.co/jcMmaebufr

I'm so tired of the gaslighting by this shoddy government
Our MP talk about the delights of joining a trading bloc when... well you know. Our nearest neighbours.
A trading bloc that has a combined GDP of $16.6 trillion... The one we wrenched ourselves out of...
Remind me why?
<div class="rsshub-quote">
Louis 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 〓〓 💙 Defend the right to vote: The Sunday Express is misleading its readers, to put it lightly
Claims CPTPP is a £12 trillion trade deal
That figure is the combined GDP of all CPTPP members
The real gain is 0.1% of GDP, after ten years - or £1.7 billion
As you can see, a somewhat smaller figure

Good to hear @alexhallhall at @BylineFest on how we find our way back to Europe. Packed hall with burning desire to hear contrition and honesty from politics and media.

In 1997, while working in Bosnia, I stood in the village of #Srebrenica, at the site of the murder of thousands of Muslim men and boys. It was chilling.
28 years on, we remember them. And may the horror of this event continue to remind us of the fragility of peace.
<div class="rsshub-quote">
Remembering Srebrenica: Today is #Srebrenica Memorial Day which marks the 28th anniversary of the Bosnian genocide in which over 8,000 Muslim men and boys were murdered in the space of just a few days, and dumped in mass graves. In 2023, a significant number of the victims remains are still missing https://t.co/7gKA6hFPyr

Here’s me, a potential Lib Dem MP, sharing this excellent tribute by @Laura__Farris, a Tory MP of @HarrietHarman, Labour MP.
Well said Laura, and so important to see cross-party respect where it’s due.

This is a disgrace, and she’s not the only one.
There needs to be a mechanism to recall MPs who don’t do the job they are elected to do.
Anyone else who didn’t show up for work for a year would be sacked. (Yes, she may be working tirelessly in her constituency but I doubt it) https://n.respublicae.eu/lbc/status/1677469248250077185
