“We remember those Muslims… facing conflict, persecution or suffering”, says the PM. Meanwhile the UK continues to arm Israel’s genocide, & thousands of Palestinians mourn the slaughter of their families. Spare us the hypocrisy. Impose an immediate full arms embargo on Israel.

Wildflower strips in orchards attract insects that eat pests, reducing crop damage and cutting pesticide use. The savings can be significant, especially in bad aphid years. 🌸

America is complicit in the slaughter of the Palestinian people. 2.2 million people are trapped. Disease is spreading. Children are starving to death. And we continue to provide U.S. military aid to Netanyahu.

They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.

The UK is in decline where money wields power. Normal people toil and are just voting fodder. Laws and policies are crafted to give the appearance of sternness and fairness, but are rarely fully enforced on corporations and the rich. Must end political corruption

The UK’s 50 richest families hold more wealth than half the population — 34 million people. Yet the Prime Minister claims migration has caused “incalculable damage” to our society. This is a lie. It’s billionaires wrecking our economy, our democracy & our planet — not migrants.

Are you on Universal Credit, Pension Credit, Employment Support Allowance? UK govt will compel banks to hand information to it about your money. You can't prevent it even if you never committed fraud. Same won't apply to PPE, tax, subsidy fraudsters, corporate crooks, disqualified directors.

I love this reading! The book sounds great. The aphid armies are marching (dawdling) on my roses. Small birds are hopping from stem to stem, gobbling them up, and I awaiting the squadrons of ladybirds.

Did you know that, in orchards, "a thriving earwig population can dispose of as many aphids in a year as 3 rounds of insecticide"? Worth a read... #pesticides #gardening hartley-botanic.co.uk/magazine/ins...

Israel carried out its plan to erase Gaza over the course of 18 months. Now that the plan has clearly fallen into place, the Netanyahu government is openly discussing ethnic cleansing. And still, Israel enjoys complete international impunity. mondoweiss.net/2025/05/exte...

Practically speaking, the only appropriate response to the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza is sanctions. Full scale, explicit economic sanctions from every country that claims to care about Palestinian lives. America won't, that's a dead letter now. But the rest of us can. Our politicians can.

When we are infuriated by election results it's easy to fall back on prejudice. But calling our opponents 'moron' 'imbecile' etc is perpetuating the ableism which underpins so much, including eugenics. Face up to the real issues, greed, anger, violence, laziness. Intelligence is not the issue.
