Fabulous display of Bee Orchids this year at RAF Valley #Anglesey after I managed to persuade the RAF not to mow the grass verge to allow the Orchids to grow. #Wildflowerhour #orchidchallenge

Breaking news: Karol Nawrocki has won Poland’s presidential election, the country’s electoral commission said, after a tight run-off vote against pro-EU rival Rafał Trzaskowski www.ft.com/content/9f2b...

🇵🇱⚖️🗳️ The rule of law repair process in Poland just got incredibly more difficult. I expect President Nawrocki to be even less cooperative than Duda, as Nawrocki will work hard for a PiS parliamentary election victory. Tough times ahead. 1/

There's nothing like a runner's high after a good run when you've been slacking all week! And the after-run bath is ✨pure magic✨.

Ok so imagine these sounds but for like 5 hours straight

This has always been Ru’s goal— tight control of Ukrainian domestic politics. To Ru the euphemism of « friendly Ukr » means a vassal/satellite, like Belarus today or EEurope during the Cold War. This is a reddest of red lines for Ukraine, who are fighting above all for their freedom and sovereignty.

Let me be clearer. I was former head of UK Foreign Office humanitarian affairs, incl policy on war crimes, genocide. I helped craft policy for international criminal court. I’m in no doubt these are war crimes. Disproportionate, indiscriminate, collective punishment by an occupying power.

This is from my friend, Nabil, in Gaza today. He says there is NO food left. He has never sounded so in despair. Israel is carrying out war crimes; violating international humanitarian law; inflicting collective punishment on a captive people; trying to starve them into submission. It’s obscene.
