My daughter is currently in the middle of GCSE exams. I'm pleased she's still finding time to send her old dad political clips.

More #Amsterdam gloriousness: clouds of angelica growing in a floating planter.

I want Britain to rejoin the EU. I want bicycle paths everywhere. I want shutters on houses, dammit! #Remain #Europe

On a different note...this is rather lovely.

A great day to vote in the #London Borough of #Lewisham! I've never seen queues, albeit short, to vote in a local election before. It's usually a tumbleweed vibe.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Well here's an article to bring a smile!

Whose life wouldn't be improved by seeing this!

Roman Mosaic Unearthed - Southwark, London, UK <3 What Time Reveals (9 Photos): streetartutopia.com/2026/03/28/f... Two archaeologists gently uncover a large Roman mosaic beneath a construction site near The Shard in central London. The vibrant geometric patterns, preserved underground for nearly...

I don't often see the @churchtimes.bsky.social and this morning I'm liking the infusion of truth on so-called Christian nationalism.

One of the reasons why electoral fraud, law-breaking and interference should be scrupulously sanctioned, no matter who does it. Just sayin'

We don't lack words in English to say what we need to about climate change.

So this is why Trump started a war on Iran...

Feeling thankful for spiritual leaders of all stripes, ordained or not, who preach simple equality.

I am actually quite shocked about this. I'd love there to be a reasonable explanation, because it's disturbing to think that the party running our country would be so knowingly dishonest.

It's the first day of the British season known as #falsespring and in London it's being welcomed wholeheartedly by my #crocuses

LOVE this. I wonder how many parishioners you would lose for unthinkingly refuting the existence of 🎅 in the Christmas day sermon?

Haha, that's an innovative argument!

First day of a new job. Eek!

I've nothing to add.

I hope you'll enjoy this brief moment with our beautiful planet (south coast of England).

It's cake-off! The night we ignore the missed weeks of bake-off and watch the finale while doing some cake judging of our own...

I found treasure in the planter that volunteers care for at my local station. I had no idea African Violet buds were twisted, despite growing them for years. Appreciation to all #communitygardeners! #Gardening #Bloomscrolling #Nature #Photography

Today, I caught my first leaf of the autumn in Ashdown forest,

NEW: Something remarkable happened recently and hardly anyone noticed – GB electricity demand was 100% covered by clean power We took a look at the data and this has happened for a record 87 hours in 2025 to date, twice as often as ever before 🧵 www.carbonbrief.org/... 1/7

@elliereeves.bsky.social As one if your constituents, it would be really good to see your name behind this too. The situation is diabolical and needs urgent action.

Grating chocolate.

We have deep concerns about government plans to designate Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation. Nonviolent protest, and even acts of vandalism, should not be labelled as terrorism. Civil disobedience has been a powerful force for positive social change. www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

Wait …. weren’t there six of you ❗️ #MemeForToday #SurvivorshipBias

I always agreed with my politics and history teachers that fascism could happen anywhere. So I didn't think it inconceivable that it could get this far in the US, but I am stunned that it is happening this quickly.

Am I more concerned about this appointment, or the government's clear attempt to misrepresent it?

Radio4 in the background, admiring 19c protection of #EppingForest I catch the phrase: "...back when you could have been thrown into prison for the slightest protest." We're back there now! Perhaps bbc will admire protest on climate change in 100 years.

This made me laugh, then question whether it's helpful. But if the next Pope offers humble discipleship and has a deep love of peace, he will also need to be able to hold his own. So actually it's bang on.

Gov. Tim Walz State Address: "We have university students shoved into unmarked vans and fathers being tossed into Salvadorian gulags without a hint of due process. If you say you love freedom, but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn't freedom, it's privilege."

I glanced and thought these were biscuits, I still think they are great now I know they are stones. The wish may have been father to the thought there .

Seeing the role of rw media in the US in enabling the rise of fascism there, I find stories like this deeply concerning.

#ElectricDreams @tate.bsky.social I was disappointed I'd not recorded the artist, then I remembered the Internet. It's by Atsuko Tanaka How electric is that?

I'm enjoying a B52's kitchen singalong with my kids. It occurs to me that Donald Trump would not have been invited to the Love Shack. Strangely, I find this thought comforting.

This week I was in the #UK to follow up on complaints and meet with the Government and #EnvironmentalDefenders who submitted complaints to my mandate. Among these complainants was Dr. Patrick Hart, whom I visited in prison on Wednesday. This is where he spent the last three months of his life.

This has been concerning me for some time. There is no way to climate proof a pension.

I love this

This is a crucial point

My children's distrust of the police already makes me worry about how they will access protection. I now have to go upstairs and explain why the Met have broken down the door of the meeting house they were welcomed in (Quaker equivalent of baptism) Ffs this is a building with beehives on the roof.

My children were welcomed into this Quaker meeting, as children drew together, or cuddled their parents. We also take love, anger and sorrow into our meetings, hold them in silence as we reach for what some of us call God. Sometimes the response is peaceful protest. #ReligiousFreedom

The first deliciously scented blossom on my daily walk. Heart gladdened. ✅️
