This is HUGE. The news here of course is that a whopping 28% of Conservative voters back rejoining the EU **AND** 11% of Reform voters. That reflects why I’m hearing too. Thanks @europeanmovement.co.uk www.europeanmovement.co.uk/new_poll_sho...

My friend Samaa needs help to keep going in a situation in which, thanks to the destruction of home, industry and even agriculture, there is simply no work to be had. What remains of the state can't afford to hire teachers like her, and only occasional, small amounts of food aid can be found.

🚨 Urgent Appeal 🚨 I’m Waseem from Gaza. Today I had surgery to remove shrapnel from my foot. I’m in severe pain and urgently need medication, but I can’t afford it. I need $200 for treatment. Please don’t leave me suffering. gofund.me/35fdca7d @trisolaranrobin.bsky.social #Gaza #StandWithGaza

Once a luxury, arriving centuries ago on a slow boat from China, tea had its pivotal moment in 1784. With tea tax drastically reduced and poor malt and hop harvests, tea became cheaper than beer, supplanting it as our national drink.  | Clarissa Killwick

Please read and donate if you can

Only four gas trucks were allowed into Gaza yesterday. Waseem had got his name on the list for gas, so he's been lucky, but only if he can raise $70 before he has to pay for the refill. Can you help? gofund.me/35fdca7d @mommunism.bsky.social @gofund-gaza.bsky.social @merryrobin.bsky.social #SkyAid 🍉

Waseem: My children and I stand today among the ruins, after losing our home and everything we owned. Nothing remains for us but faith in God and the kindness of compassionate hearts. Any support, no matter how small, helps us survive these painful days. 💔 @mommunism.bsky.social gofund.me/35fdca7d

Please help Nabil

This is the last day before Waseem has to pay Nabil's school fees, and he's still about $100 short. Nabil loves school and last year got a certificate of excellence. If you can, please help him stay there. gofund.me/35fdca7d @mommunism.bsky.social @gofund-gaza.bsky.social @merryrobin.bsky.social 🍉

From Waseem "The war on Iran is choking us and killing us now. Prices have exploded—flour costs four times more and is almost impossible to find. I urgently need $400 for flour, food, and canned meals for my children. Please help us survive this nightmare" gofund.me/35fdca7d

From Waseem: With the escalation of the conflict and the closure of Gaza's crossings, basic necessities like food and medicine are becoming scarce. Prices are skyrocketing, and markets are nearly empty. I urgently need €200 to cover food and school fees. ❤️ Please support us. gofund.me/35fdca7d

Please help if you can.

Mohammed and Nabil always try hard to be happy and keep their family's spirits up, but the truth is that this Ramadan, when Muslim kids elsewhere are getting treats every night, they're barely getting any food at all. Please help if you can. gofund.me/35fdca7d @mommunism.bsky.social @fairshare.help

This Ramadan, my family is facing very difficult days. We have received low donations and are struggling to afford food and basic needs. Any small support can make a real difference for us. Please help or share our link. May God bless you for your kindness. gofund.me/35fdca7d
