So lovely to get out in nature to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Herefordshire Meadows and learn more about the brilliant work being done to protect and restore our valuable grasslands!

🚨 The collapse of our natural world is a direct threat to the UK’s national security. 🌍 The Nature + National Security Bill is a new, urgent, science-led response to this emergency. 📣 Ask your MP to choose the #NNSBill in the private members’ bill ballot. Head to 👉 zerohour.uk/write

One of the weirdest things about the next few weeks will be seeing the international media trying to explain the British concept of #CountBinface to a bemused world.

If the #MonsterRavingLoonyParty stand in #Clacton, they could split the joke vote. It will be divided between them and #Farage, leaving #CountBinface as the only serious candidate.

So people in #Clacton will have to choose between one candidate who is basically a joke - and another one who is dressed as a bin.

Can Burnham say that war crimes, let alone genocide, has occurred in Gaza? Being clear on this is the most basic first step. Without this, Labour hasn't even started its journey to rectifying for years of complicity and participation in this genocide.

BBC - Please invite Farage and Count Binface on to Question Time.

I’m fed up of people not taking the “R-slur” seriously as a slur to target not just autistic folk but anyone. Folk drop the R-slur like it’s nothing and say things like “you’re so sensitive” and “it’s not a slur” it became a slur when it started to be used as a derogatory term in the 60s.

The Fire Brigades Union has made a statement on the proposed EHRC Code of Practice on Services. Our message is clear. Equality matters, solidarity is essential, and we will continue to fight for both.

Thanks to all who have signed. Sadly my MP in Leicester East is letting her constituents down. If you haven't written to your MP, please do so.

As is so often the case @quaker.org.uk are showing the way.

Love that 20k people signed this on day 1 Why? Because we’re DONE Tech companies profit from hate & disinformation every day & face zero legal liability because they’re classed as “platforms” not publishers An insane loophole that needs closing NOW PLS SIGN you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

“Following For Women Scotland, the EHRC was tasked with updating its guidance on sex discrimination to provide standards for everyone to follow. The EHRC was not required to make its guidance as trans exclusionary as possible, though that is what it did.” www.lemkininstitute.com/statements-n...

In Oct-Nov 1939, the Daily Mirror published a series of articles by 'a psychologist' speculating on the personalities of Nazi leaders if they were gender-swapped - Hettie Hitler, Rosie Ribbentrop, and Henrietta Himmler. They are described as annoying 'nuisances'. (Full transcriptions in Alt Text.)

🚨1,500+ weapons companies are coming to Farnborough International next month for a horrific airshow and arms fair. This arms fair brings together weapons companies, arms dealers, and government officials to make deals for war and genocide.

"The impacts of the climate and nature crisis are well and truly with us. A strong economy must be a resilient economy, a sustainable economy and a future-proofed economy." Zack Polanski speaking at the British Chambers of Commerce Global Annual Conference 2026: Delivering Growth.

Contents of right-wing newspapers in the UK this week: 1. It's very hot! 2. Don't let #Burnham appoint lefty #NetZero #climate zealots to his cabinet! 3. Why are we not more prepared for it being so hot?! symonhill.org/2026/06/26/r...

Points arising from Charles Windsor's revelation of his tax bill: 1. There are no details about how the tax has been calculated. 2. The tax is very small as a percentage of his wealth. 3. Much of his wealth derives from land his ancestors stole from the rest of us. #NotMyKing

I’ve been reading a lot about the end of the Roman republic recently, and the slide of that empire into imperial monarchy. The stamping of the leader’s face on coins, colossal statues and a reworking of the forum. But even Augustus didn’t build himself a ballroom-fortress.

It's been a 2 month journey for George Clooney and not always easy but he now loves all us humans! He also looks like a million dollars I think you'll agree

The first duty of any Govt is to keep the public safe. That means recognising that national security is changing. Alongside traditional threats, we need resilience against flooding, extreme heat, food, water & energy insecurity. It would be a dereliction of duty to let political drama distract us

Happy #Vesak Day to #Buddhist friends and followers!

In the #Makerfield by-election, the #ReformUK candidate is bearing false witness about "Christian heritage" and falsely claiming that a church has been turned into a mosque: symonhill.org/2026/05/31/r... #Christiannationalism

Some activities seem appealling at first sight but lead almost inevitably to disappointment. They include gambling, drunkenness and trusting the #LabourParty. No promises that #AndyBurnham can make will persuade me that the #GreenParty should stand aside in #Makerfield.

As a non-Jewish Christian, I need to be honest and speak up about how often I have witnessed #antisemitism in churches. Here's my comment piece about it in this week's @churchtimes.bsky.social: www.churchtimes.co.uk/articles/202...

Shocking and detailed article on international arms supplies to Israel. Note that the figures only cover the small part of the arms trade that can be identified through customs data, not including e.g. aircraft and their components. aje.news/2f90pn

The Met Police estimated that there were only 50,000 people on the Together Alliance March yesterday. They also estimate that the number for emergency services is 333.

Hundreds of thousands of severely ill and disabled people making new claims will have their benefits cut if the government assesses that their condition might improve, charities have said www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
