📌 What does it mean to be a poet in wartime? To apologise for survival. To carry the shame of safety. A haunting, visceral poem by Hend Jouda, from Gaza—where words are both witness and wound. #Poetry #Gaza #HendJouda #WarAndWords #PalestinianVoices #CeasefireNow

I'm all for book festivals-More culture please! But it is clear that for 'the flagship news programme of the BBC' they now prioritise and are much more comfortable doing events like the Hay Festival rather than speaking truth to power. #r4today

The occupation has only allowed in 90 trucks as Palestinians are getting drip fed and starved to death. Why have we let this become a normal scene?

“Hard Brexit was xenophobic, economically illiterate and narrow-minded. An apology from the Brexit lobby is too much to hope for. Silence might be a relief. An appalling mistake was made. It awaits correction.” Yes. Such damage and waste. For nothing. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The EU 🇪🇺 is big enough and strong enough not to be bullied by Trump. When he says they’ve been ‘difficult’ to deal with he means they won’t give in to his demands! Stay strong @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu 👍

We’ve just delivered a message to Downing Street, backed by over 100,000 of you.‼️ Farmers, NGOs and the public are standing together to demand action. UK Government, this is a call you can't afford to ignore. Any cut now would be a disaster for farming and nature.

We've all seen the damage the Conservatives' botched deal has done, but this new deal must only be the first step. Britain needs a full, ambitious new partnership with Europe, including a bespoke UK-EU customs union.

@ofcom.bsky.social there is a groundswell of feeling when asked that our broadcasters are not giving fair plural coverage to voices in what’s now a multi party system (see heat map for this petition) We’re calling on parl to debate this but Ofcom could look at rules now. Democracy is at stake.

We've lost HALF our population of swifts in 20 years. We can't lose the other half. Modern homes have nowhere for them to nest – but there's a simple, cheap solution. A hollow brick costing just £35 could save our swifts! Even developers are on board. Just one problem...

The Lib Dems have 14 times as many MPs at Westminster (72) as Reform but nowhere near as much broadcast media coverage. Meanwhile the Greens have 4 compared to 5 Reform MPs in the HofC and don’t get a fraction of the coverage Reform get. Sign the petition. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

People looking back on this period will never understand, because there is no way to understand, how Israel deliberately starved Palestinians in Gaza, how food aid piled up at every border of the Gaza strip and the entire world could not compel Israel to let it through

For over ten weeks, Israeli forces have blocked food, water and medicine from entering Gaza. With over two million facing famine and the Netanyahu Government planning to seize all of Gaza, will the PM back a joint plan to recognise Palestine and end this appalling blockade?

All of us.... every single last one of us... are descended from immigrants. And without it, this country would just be a bunch of uninhabited islands on the edge of the world. Everything that built this country... and everything it is... springs from that. And we should embrace it, not decry it.

Of course, these trade deals with Australia, NZ, Japan, India and whatever it is with the US… are not ‘Brexit benefits’. They’re ‘Brexit damage limitation’ or ‘Brexit desperation’. Tiny percentage points of growth battling the enormous cost of huffing out of our huge and prosperous local EU market.
