To me to debate always seems to be about whether or not you're a massive racist.

Fight.

They should livestream the removal of his name from the building - it would set records

The US and Israel are working to end Jordan’s custodianship of Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque and replace it with a new Israeli-controlled “multi-faith” administration, Middle East Eye reports. It would allow expanded Jewish prayer access and give Israel influence over mosque leadership.

Good morning, a wild 20C at 0900, Chelsea draws to a close and the Chelsea chop nears, it has been a spectacular week in the garden. Especially if you’re a bee🐝 . 🌱#plantsky #beesky

May 17th, 15C strong UV through the high cloud, chilli when the rain clouds pass over. A few mm of rain in the last week has triggered the roses to get going. Today for your pleasure, (DA) Kew Gardens and (DA)The Country parson. 🌱 #plantsky

Here is the link to YouTube for those that would like to save it: youtube.com/shorts/JUeC_...

A pan of peas, shredded sorrel and butter lettuce in a Viognier and butter sauce to go with fish pie.

16th May, Chilly but risen to 14C, Baby bluetits are bouncing around and off, everything, the gentle, soul piercing, screaming of fledged starlings in the background. The roses are kicking off but the lupins.. the lupins are really back after the absolute aphid driven disaster of last year. 🌱

A tale of two nations. “Trump was played from the moment he landed in Beijing.”

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just allowed the abortion pill mifepristone to continue to be available by mail without an in-person appointment with a clinician while a lawsuit plays out.

The rush to silence Black voters ahead of the 2026 election is stone cold racism. It's Jim Crow 2.0.

Icelandic authorities just rerouted a planned hot water pipeline so as not to disturb an elf hill.

To bring a smile to your face, here’s an ancient Egyptian dog figurine, a very good boy for some 3,400 years! 🐾🐕❤️ This lovely leaping dog opens and closes its mouth as if barking by using a lever below its chest. The Met 📷 by me #Archaeology

There is no room for debate. The Far Right propaganda has consumed people.

May 7th 2026, Would you like a baby blackbird? 🌱 #plantsky #birdsky

Not only is Reform’s new policy of putting migrant detention centres in any constituency that votes Green a piece of disgusting imported Trumpism, the centres meet the definition of concentration camps.

May 3rd, for me, it is one of those milestones of the garden year, one which means we are indeed heading towards the halcyon days starting with Chelsea, the day the first early rose flowers head inside to the kitchen windowsill. A reminder (and warning) of what is to come! 🌱🦔 #plantsky

Good morning, I trust Beltane treated you well, May 2nd and Happy Eel day to all who celebrate. It begins! Gertrude has arrived. 🌱🦔 #plantsky

Ah, May morning. I always miss Oxford on May Morning and this looks like it was a particularly fine one.

UP THE MAY! In case you missed it, or you want to see it again, here’s a taste of the Hymnus Eucharisticus from the top of the Tower on May Morning. It was so wonderful to see you all packed onto the High for another beautiful May Morning. #maymorning #oxford #magdalencollege

Another thing that is about to destabilise Trump - the Bank of England’s deputy says stock markets will fall because they’re not factoring in global risk. The AI bubble is on the list, the only thing driving the Trump economy.

It’s that time again.

This is ridiculous. 🌱

Good morning, April 19th, 9C and set for sun for the day albeit chilly in the shade (dropped to 3C last night), tulips, bluebells, wild garlic and gooseberry. 🌱🦔

John 3:16 "Aw, man. I just shot Marvin in the face"

Donald Trump is the only person in the world who doesn't realise that the expression "Is the Pope Catholic?" is a joke

Trump did this.

Here go the stocks for another roller coaster ride of market manipulation.

@mthrjo.bsky.social first pair of swifts today for your notes! (Also, 8 jays, 3 buzzards, 2 red kites.. all the jackdaws)

Magyar: “I am serving the Hungarian people, until I can, until my country benefits from it” i- a quote from Antal Jozsef the first democratic prime minister of Hungary in 1990 after the fall of the wall.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise. He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media. The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

Good morning, 10C and grey. I have however got some help dead heading the daffs🌱

The clearest way to conceive of Trump’s failure in Iran.

Iran's Press TV says the Strait of Hormuz has been "fully closed".

It is very easy to become accustomed to Trump’s ravings, and laugh them off. That’s a dangerous thing to do. When Trump states: “A whole civilization will die tonight,” he is threatening to commit genocide. We can’t allow that to happen. Congress must end this war NOW.

New Iran thread. Starting with a Lest We Forget: Hillary Clinton, 9 years ago: “This is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes – because it’s not hard to imagine Donald Trump leading us into a war just because somebody got under his very thin skin.”

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV declares the Iran War is “unjust” and “is not resolving anything.” After suggesting Trump is committing war crimes by targeting civilian infrastructure, he called on Americans to contact Congress to help end the war.

Spain’s Embassy in Qatar - stock up on water, food and medicine for several days.

The BBC asked Karoline Leavitt to clarify the White House stance on use of nukes. Her 100% absolutely reassuring response: “The Iranian regime has until 8PM Eastern Time to meet the moment and make a deal with the United States. Only the President knows where things stand and what he will do."
