Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

I’m sad to hear the news that the wonderful Jane Goodall is no longer in the world. Her work with chimpanzees at Gombe in Tanzania taught us to look at other apes - and ourselves - differently. I was privileged to meet her later in life and tell her what an inspiration she was to me.

👻🍂 Spooktober is here! 🍂👻 The pumpkins are out, the mist is rolling in! Our autumn chocolate bars and chocolate boxes are ready to bring cosy flavours to your cauldron. Perfect for gifting, sharing… or keeping all to yourself (we won’t tell). 🍫

Yes. That was always there. But ownership of British press was big factor & its outsize impact on the BBC. Other outlets did some great work but the lawsuit stopped all reporting dead. And it’s why the correct response to a SLAPP is a) protect your journalist & b) keep going.

After a little summer break, my chocolate boxes are finally back today! Some familiar favourites are returning, along with some new flavours I’ve been excited to make. Perfect to gift to someone you care about, or just to enjoy yourself (which is even better). I’m really happy to have them back! 🍫

If this was any other party it would be parroted so much that it would haunt them and come to define them. Now then what will the approach of our broadcast media be to this? Will we be talking about it this time next week? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Another long week comes to an end and I’m finally done with the last batch of chocolates, just in time for the chocolate boxes to return this weekend.

Now will this below get any broadcast media traction? Ed Davey tackling Elon Musk. This is what leading the agenda is all about. Keep it in mind and if you don’t see it mentioned, write to the broadcasters. Don’t mention Reform over platforming though. Avoids you getting a standard reply.

It should be simple: people who cheer on violence in the UK can't enrich themselves with British taxpayers’ money. That means Elon Musk – no government contracts for you, no energy supply license for you.

Happy 11th Breakfast Day to meownself 🧡 A birthday is a new beginning and the first day of another lovely year. A year of possibilities as endless as the sky, and a chance to meet the challenges in everything you try Keep going friends - you are amazing 🐈🧡

Good Morning & welcome to marvellous marmalade Monday Even if things don’t improve, you will. You’ll grow stronger, braver, and more resilient. Never forget the strength that lives within you

While our autumn collection is stealing the spotlight, our classics are always here ✨ Take our Candied Orange Dark Chocolate bar: smooth, rich dark chocolate with vibrant candied orange pieces. Inspired by the timeless French orangette, it’s the perfect balance of deep cocoa and citrusy sweetness 🍊🍫

Two days left to maximise the petition numbers folks. Mention it to anyone you can. It’s really important we send the message loud & clear that we’ve had enough of the REFORM propaganda-fest & want to hear regularly from ALL our parties. Sign sign sign petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

No. You are an artificial bot pitching artificial products for an artificial audience. I want real.

Good morning and welcome to Fish For Tea Friday Your happiness might not come wrapped up with a bow on top. It might come in the form of a sunset, a smile, or a kind word from a stranger. Happiness hides in everyday details

"Caring is tough, but it can also be beautiful. It shapes relationships in ways that last a lifetime. If we can find the will to support carers properly, we will not only ease the strain on our health system but also make Britain a better place to live." @EdDavey.libdems.org.uk

It's clear to everyone the BBC is giving Nigel Farage and Reform far too much coverage. It is dangerous and it has to stop.

"By paying such disproportionate attention to Nigel Farage's latest outfit, Reform UK, the BBC is compromising its reputation. To many licence fee payers, the broadcaster gives the impression that it hangs on every word uttered by Farage..." @maxwilkinson.bsky.social writes to Ofcom.

Sick of the BBC acting as a mouthpiece for Farage and Reform? Us too. Our national broadcaster should reflect the whole country, not just one man’s ego.

@LizJarvis.bsky.social questioned BBC Director general Tim Davie on Reform UK's overwhelming share of coverage. Here's his reply 👇

Parents of disabled children face endless hoops just to care for their loved ones. At PMQ's, @EdDavey.LibDems.org.uk called to overhaul the system, the PM agreed.

The only ones who seem to be standing against the hatred are the Greens and Lib Dems. Terrific speech from Ed Davey here: youtu.be/iLouxH6a9x8?...

People who think science is proven by debate rather than evidence are not who we want leading us

We need your help again. Coul Links is an extraordinary coastal dune habitat, home to rare and remarkable wildlife. But it is now threatened for a second time by plans for an 18-hole golf course that would cause irreparable damage. Your voice could help save it. 👇

⚠️ Women in the UK don’t need to be told what danger looks like — we live it every day. ⛔ One woman is killed by a man every three days in this country (Femicide Census, 2023) ⛔ In 2023, 1.7 million women experienced domestic abuse (ONS, 2023). It is not trans people who perpetrate these crimes.

For over 25 years, science and discovery centres have been at the heart of inspiring millions of people to explore, question, and be part of UK science and technology. But they're seriously under threat… 1/3

Autumn chocolate is here. Don’t fight it, you deserve some.

In the next decade the richest people in the UK are set to emit 13 times more carbon emissions from transport than the poorest. 🤯 Instead of causing climate chaos by expanding airports, the government should introduce an ultra-frequent flyers levy. More👇 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Seeing some politicians competing for just how brutal and dehumanising they can be to vulnerable minorities - I can’t help comparing that to 16th and 17th witch trials. It’s so depressing.

This week you can get sunburn and spot signs of autumn at the same time 🍂☀️ 🥵 We’re in a mini heatwave, but nature clearly didn’t get the memo. Rowan berries are blazing red, the brambles are ripening and the leaves are beginning to brown. What autumn signs are you seeing? 🧡

Many ancient woods were replanted with conifers for timber in the 1900s. Hundreds of these plantations are now ready for harvesting in Scotland & England. If felled & replanted with conifers, ancient woodland remnants could be lost forever. Ask your Gov to rescue our Forgotten Forests bit.ly/3HNGy8t

Our ospreys had quite a rough time during #StormFloris but thankfully all came through unscathed. We hope you did too. Here is Darach hinging on for dear life!😬 He is only ten weeks old.😲 #ArkaigOspreys #Ospreycam #Floris #Storm

Why is #r4today promoting a new right wing ‘think-tank’ having never reported on the Tufty Club’s dubious funding and purposes? Oh. It’s a Farage fan club, you say? That explains it.

🌞Happy #August! A big month for the Romans. Once called Sextilis, August became the 8th month when Jan & Feb were added (c700 BC). Renamed for Augustus in 8BC after key victories — & yes, he died this month too! 🎉 Born: Claudius, Commodus, Caligula, Pertinax 🪦 Died: Cleopatra, MarkAntony, Trajan

This morning will be spent preparing orders to ship this afternoon. This was the last ‘calm’ week before a while. Preparation and testing for the autumn/Halloween collection starts next week! Excited! 🍫
