Joy to the world www.theguardian.com/environment/... #turtledoves

Just watched the first two episodes of Pushers and I love it. The refs at Reuben Reuter’s day job as a reporter, his dance moonlighting all delivered deadpan. Rosie Jones is a genius. #rosiejones #pushers #reubenreuter #channel4

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... I'm q puzzled by this as i have never seen a woman in a burqa in the UK. Hijabs, yes. Niqabs, yes those too. Burqas, never.

Destroying our natural wealth makes us poorer in every sense of the word www.theguardian.com/environment/... I used to respect #Starmer but if this goes ahead that's over. It's our equivalent of destroying the Amazon rain forest

Robert Jenrick turns vigilante in bid to tackle London’s fare dodgers www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Ok He can do this, but what if public transport were free and rekuabke Uk wide?How many would abandon their cars for trains, buses and tubes? Wouldn't that be a GOOD thing?

Zadie Smith and Ian McEwan among 380 writers and groups to call Gaza war ‘genocide’ www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

A new kind of gentrification is spreading through London – and emptying out schools Really pleased to read this article. Without genuinely affordable accommodation for families and key workers London is doomed. Elephant Park? All fur and no knickers www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Swifts have lost more than half their population in 20 years. A simple £35 brick in new builds could help save them. Labour used to support this – now they’re planning to backtrack. Sign the petition now to show them the public still backs this nature-friendly fix: 38d.gs/cdpr

Exceptionally low river flows forecast across UK as drought threat grows www.theguardian.com/environment/... Utterly predictable, completely outrageous

I walked the length of the UK with a donkey www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle... I wish my knees were up for something like this. And a donkey!

Simon Armitage: ‘Our pace of life is unhelpful to nature, it’s burning it up’ oh god yes www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

Donald Trump is waging war on our hard-won rights – it’s time to fight back. Join me and Good Law Project and say loud and clear: not in our country. goodlawproject.org/s/c22468

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... at last a grown up speaks. Trump doesn't seek fairness, he seeks domination with the rest if the world subjugated to the US. Pathetic.

Too true. The huge cars driving down our narrow street are a menace. I have yet to understand why anyone driving one needs a car of this size or power in a city where many roads have a 20mph limit. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Well said @georgemonbiot.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

@sainsburys.bsky.social bought these yellow roses from Sainsbury’s on Saturday. Beautiful. But one is already dead 🙁

Is Donald Trump the thinnest skinned person who ever lived? Here he is again, the playground bully, badmouthing George Clooney. Embarassing and pathetic. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ma...

www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Wtf? He should refund the cost of the review with interest so a new one, one which is actually independent, can be done. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Le langage n’est jamais neutre. "Éradiquer", "vermine"... Ces termes utilisés par Trump ont une histoire lourde de sens. ➡️ https://l.franceculture.fr/fXo

For the first time in over a week the temperature has been low enough for my heating to turn itself on in the morning. March came in like a lamb and now seems to heading into its lion phase. So fickle. #weather #march

With Lowe’s whip withdrawn, the proportion of Reform MPs jailed for viciously assaulting a woman now stands at 25%.

Help me psychiatrists, how does someone become as morally bankrupt as trump? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Well what a surprise. Not. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... #pantsonfire

I just told Speaker Hoyle to keep Trump out of Parliament - will you do the same? actionstorm.org/petitions/du... #DumpTrump

If you look closely, you can see an America First bro in the doorway yelling, "why aren't you wearing a suit?" and "did you say thank you?"

Good Zelenskyy to meet King Charles at Sandringham on Sunday during visit to the UK. He’ll speak to the king on the same day as Keir Starmer’s defence summit of European leaders in London. At Downing Street, Zelenskyy said: “I’m very happy that his majesty the king accepted my meeting tomorrow.”

They are arguing, endlessly, that illegally inciting acts of terror online is ‘free speech’ while silencing dissent, targeting journalists & telling an invaded ally what he is & is not allowed to say during a live television broadcast are all fine.

‚Sunday’s meeting of European leaders hosted by Keir Starmer now has absolute clarity. Without the US, Europe must be ready to do the seemingly impossible, as Ukraine itself did 3 years ago. Wartime urgency, improvisation & plain speaking to publics indispensable.‘ Timothy Garton Ash (X)

I've seen three different articles on this, because the guy who owns the company that makes this stuff reached out to the press. He's got 400,000 boxes of life-saving goo sitting in a warehouse, and if USAID won't accept it, he's going to have to throw it out.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.
