The BBC cancelling Winterwatch is such a shame, especially when we need to be connecting with nature more than ever. If we want people to protect our wildlife, we have to show them it! Add your name to ask the BBC to reconsider. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/do...

Rather than answer legitimate questions, which he’s been largely spared in the past by compliant media outlets, Farage throws his toys out the pram & creates a by-election which will cost the taxpayer anything from £250,000 up

Behind every Reform UK policy is a 'donation' from a £millionaire who hopes to become a £billionaire via corrupt contracts if Farage ever gains power ... meme via Rebecca Boyd

All neutrals who believe in fairplay now supporting Belgium I guess. FIFA is a disgrace

I don’t have lots of space to grow food, but what we have brings much joy - cherries & herbs in the front garden, strawbs, rasps, loganberries, broad beans, garlic & peas, courgettes & squash + tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, basil in the little greenhouse. Tonight’s risotto alle verdure was ace!

There are plenty of showings of the People’s Emergency Briefing around Nottingham in the next few weeks and more being added. A new one announced in Wollaton for 12th July. Book a seat here linktr.ee/pebnotts

Spent an interesting day at Southwold Primary talking to staff about Wellbeing. Working in inner city schools is hugely challenging but also v rewarding & the staff go the extra mile every day. We need more funding! @labouruk.bsky.social

Even the bananas have collapsed in the heatwave

I think it’s important to note that, if you have solid wall insulation to keep your home warm in winter, it also keeps the house cooler in summer! #heatwave

Been ploughing through Ockenden this afternoon - so much grief, sadness and anger for so many local families. Absolutely shocking that it was allowed to go on and on, sickening. Thank goodness for charities like Forever Stars who have tried to make a difference

So much suffering not just from understaffing, but a lack of care and empathy. NUH needs massive cultural change but also selection & training of medical staff needs a complete overhaul. More than 500 mothers and babies died or were harmed at ‘toxic’ Nottingham NHS trust, report finds - The Guardian

Really enjoyed the Spy who came in from the Cold with Ralph Little starring. A great novel and quite a challenge for the stage I think, but definitely came off at Nottingham Theatre Royal tonight.

I remember doing battle with Trade Union dinosaurs at National Policy Forum back in the day, they still think drilling & mining is the answer ffs 🦖🦕🦖🦕 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The BBC News streaming Fox News into my living room - very offensive!

Highlight of the weekend? Cuddling my new friend Chip 🐓

Iranian singer sentenced to 74 lashes for performing without hijab, says human rights group. Solidarity with the women of Iran. State power and religion always make a toxic mix of intolerance and obedience. Yet the far-right in the USA, UK, West pursuing religious nationalism.

The attacks in Edinburgh, in which an armed bare-chested white man terrorised Muslims, leaving five people injured, don't feature on a single newspaper front page this morning. Two tier journalism

We went interrailing in Spain recently; great time, lovely food & wine, interesting places, friendly people, (trains need some work) Logrono, Pamplona, Zaragoza, Tarragona, Sitges, Figueres www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

I won’t be voting Streeting if there’s a leadership election, not a fan www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

There was me not a British citizen at the time, delivering leaflets for Remain and got my teenage daughters to help me, to try and stop this madness, and I didn’t even have a vote. My husband went to the count came home early because when they started to deliver the boxes he knew what was coming.

It's strange isn't it Iranians, Senegalese, Somalian, all banned from the World Cup. And they all have something in common.

Just back from interrailing round Eastern Spain. We went to Logrono because I knew it had Rioja wines and tapas “worth a diversion” but stupidly wasn’t expecting it to be Spanish stag and hen central 🤣 Reminded me of Nottingham drinking culture!

Benches in public spaces are a very good thing. Often sitting down has been privatised, so if you want a break, sit and eat an ice cream, need a rest or just admire the view you have to pay for a drink or food to do it. It was v noticeable in Spanish towns & cities we visited this is not the case ❤️

Far-right criminal so called Tommy Robinson has been invited on a prestigious public stage. We need a public outcry to get this invite cancelled and protect our communities from his hate! Can you sign and share the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

Despite widespread claims, leaving or weakening the European Convention on Human Rights would have no impact on reducing irregular migration. Instead, it risks weakening human rights for every person in the UK. Read our explainer blog: https://www.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/issue/echrexplained

Well there’s a surprise, if staff show care patients get better! Unfortunately I’ve met some fairly brutal staff over the years & it’s always made me think there’s something fundamentally wrong with the selection & training processes. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Disgusting - respect the wishes of the victims family for heavens sake, don’t publicise the views of those who only want to exploit the tragedy for their own ends

Who the hell does Farage think he is “addressing the nation”? And why the hell does he think he has the right to trample over a family’s grief and turn their tragedy into the Farage show? What a truly despicable, deeply racist little man. There can be no pride in a country where he has power.
