"The present state of civilization is as odious as it is unjust ... and it is necessary that a revolution should be made in it. The contrast of affluence and wretchedness continually meeting and offending the eye, is like dead and living bodies chained together." (Thomas Paine) #USA #Mamdani #Trump

Wow, that was truly amazing, the Strawberry Full Moon rising over Ely Cathedral this evening. Seen from Little Downham outside of Ely, Cambridgeshire 😍🌝 I didn’t think it was going to shine through the clouds, but it certainly did 🙏🏻🥰 #Fullmoon #strawberrymoon #ElyCathedral #amazing #Wonderful

Encouraging, if we act. The expected disruption of the Gulf Stream - giving the U.K. the climate of Labrador and causing devastation worldwide - could be avoided if we cut emissions now, concludes new research. Will governments listen? www.newscientist.com/article/2532...

“Such insight into the mind of the average decent German does Ms Carson give that one suddenly realises that the excesses & hysteria attributed to Nazism might be repeated in England under similar circumstances.” B’ham Daily Gazette review 6 May 1936 Dull cover, remarkable book! #Books #ThePrisoner

Important. Thank you Arwa Mahdawi. 👏

In matters of Faith, Wonder, and Goodness, recalling how they manifest in the simplicity of a child is often all that we need in order to revive a doubtful heart. 🎨 Ludwig Knaus (1857)

My piece on why @libdems.org.uk need to push back more vocally on civil liberties enfringements before it’s too late. Using last weekend’s #PalestineMarch as a strong case in point. 🔽

Lifts the spirits to be out with so many good people who want some peace and compassion in this world. Framing this a hate march is just tosh. #Palestine #PeaceForAll

Humbling and heartbreaking to hear from this remarkable 95-year-old grandmother, survivor of the 1948 Nakba and more than 10 displacements during the ongoing genocide in Gaza. (Video interview included in this article). 🙏🇵🇸

Thinking of all Palestinian friends today in Gaza and the West Bank and around the world. I will be on the Naqba peace march in London tomorrow with thousands of others of all nationalities and faiths. 🇵🇸 🙏🕊️

What's this?

Life naturally comes with difficulties, the way oceans come with tides and gardens come with weeds. The mistake is to think that struggle is a sign you are doing life wrong.

🇪🇸 Spain, under Pedro Sánchez, declares it is boycotting Eurovision 2026. The country will not participate and will not broadcast the event. The reason is Israel’s participation. 🔥 🇮🇸 Iceland is not participating 🇮🇪 Ireland is not participating 🇳🇱 Netherlands is not participating

Well said Shaun. You reflect what party members are feeling widely across the country I reckon.

Yes, we did well across the South of England, but it was a less cheering outcome further north. Shaun Ennis, our Group Leader in Trafford, has some thoughts about that… www.libdemvoice.org/standing-sti...

🗳️A crystal clear sign that two-party politics has collapsed: in Norfolk County Council, Tories and Labour went from holding three quarters of seats to holding just 10%. With such a fragmented electorate, it's no longer about who comes first - it's about who can work together.

Volume up! The dawn chorus from the @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social Foxley Wood in Norfolk, UK, including a stunning soloist performance from a Song Thrush. #dawnchorus #norfolk

WE DID IT 🎉 Seven out of nine County Divisions across North Norfolk constituency elected a Lib Dem councillor yesterday 🗳🔶️ Massive well done to each and every candidate, and a huge thank you to everyone who voted! I said we'd stop Reform here. And we did!

I just signed #Greenpeace's digital card, wishing Sir #David #Attenborough a very happy 100th birthday. For decades, he’s opened our eyes to the wonders of the natural world. #Greenpeace are putting together a 100th birthday card from all of us. Will you add your name today? act.gp/4w0ED4G

Whole wedding party joins a march for Gaza in Ireland👇 Proud to hold an Irish passport. Tired of hearing the humbug Starmer and Badenoch spout about our London peace marches. Link to X post: x.com/motherl28134...

Stephen Kapos has attended every pro-Palestine march. He is Jewish and a survivor of the Holocaust. “We get the warmest, most enthusiastic response from the marchers. They are happy family events, nothing to do with hatred at all. It is a slur.” 🎯💯🎯💯🎯💯🎯💯

How can our hearts not go out to 11year old Houda and her friends. Palestinian children only want normal lives. Including the right to go to school. #SanctionIsrael #SilenceIsComplicity

Another cartoon from the superb and pointed de Adder...

King Charles praises multi-faith, multi-culturalism, "It is why I believe with all my heart that the essence of our two nations is a generosity of spirit and a duty to foster compassion, to promote peace, to deepen mutual understanding, and to value all people of all faiths and of none"

Painfully true.

It’s official: the UK is rejoining Erasmus! 👏🇪🇺

Keir Starmer, most Brits are compassionate and want fair play. Stop calling us terrorists when we speak up for justice. #SupportPeaceMarches #SilenceIsComplicity #Palestine #Lebanon #Ukraine
