“President Donald Trump said in a Sunday-morning phone call that he was “not joking” about a third term.” Of course. We all knew it. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Everything else he’s done so far in this term has been copy-paste from the Ye Olde Fascist Takeover Manual, so this will probably barely register in the media.

This weekend has been all about our garden. 🌷I weeded our flower bed with tulips in & added some lobelia as contrast planting. 🌺 All of my dahlia tubers are in pots or bags. 🪓 We have cut back brambles & dead wood to create larger flower beds 💐I planted out some lupins grown from seed & a verbena. 🌱

Michael Gove on June 21st 2016, two days before the Brexit referendum, "By voting to leave, we can not only take back control of hundreds of millions that we sent to the European Union, we will also be detaching ourselves from the sinking ship that is the European Union economy"

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

On the way to visit the Chalice Well gardens, Glastonbury Tor rising up to meet a blue March sky. The spring water tasted of iron (the teenagers said blood - they are so dramatic!). On the way back from our Exeter trip last weekend.

St John’s Church, #Duxford #Cambridgeshire Central tower of a once cruciform church. Thin single light Norman windows of c.1100. The belfry above has two light windows of c. 1280. The “spike” is crooked. Maybe, in 1897 a flagpole twisted in a gale. @duxfordstjohns.bsky.social #SteepleSaturday

I grew up with a strong female role model (my mum) and then 3 sisters (2 older, 1 younger) who all massively inspire me, a truly amazing daughter, as well as having 2 fantastic nieces - it’s International Women’s Day, but we should be celebrating women and challenging gender stereotypes every day 👍🏽

Very pleased with this broccoli. Purple sprouting takes ages to grow and it needs netting but the crop is well worth it, especially at a time when there's nothing else to harvest. 🌱

I sit in constant amazement at the positivity and goodwill I have (somehow) gathered on this platform. I never thought the support I managed to engender on Twitter/X could ever be repeated. I was wrong. Thank you, you damn fine folk! 🙌

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

From the perspective of someone who helps to run a preschool, the reason fees are going up is the gap between the funded entitlement and our costs. The minimum wage is going up by 6.7% and most of our costs are staffing. We're a charity so we don't make a profit. Still hard to make it sustainable.
