Check out this tram map from the Bristol & Bath Area Tram Association. Can you imagine how connected & accessible our city would be (AND climate-friendly!) Missed last week’s Bee? Just found us? We’re like a Sunday paper - quiet, no ads - pay what you want to - if you want to. ☺️❤️

A far too belated post on a beautiful and timeless book about Kashmir, India and the hearts and minds of young people by my colleague, the BBCs Divya Arya.

I don’t subscribe to culture wars. This article is a really humane and nuanced telling of how culture war behaviour on both sides impacts people. A beautifully reported piece: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/m...

As atrocities and the aid blockade continue in #Gaza, hundreds of thousands of people are being repeatedly displaced. Shelters are overcrowded. People are left with nothing. "A message to the whole world," pleads one Palestinian woman: "Open the crossings for us." Watch. 🔽

Six out of every seven children in the UK's most deprived areas living in poverty. Result of political choices - low wages, austerity, unchecked profiteering, benefit cuts, inequitable distribution of wealth. Future blighted. Govts listen to donors/rich, ignore the rest.

Loved participating in the "News Meeting" podcast by @tortoisemedia.bsky.social here in Bath: like being back in a London newsroom, under an editor's skeptical eye - minus the terrible coffee or long hours. Also loved the incredible female energy of the staff. Listen here: lnk.to/OKj0op

“Irresistible” on @bbciplayer.bsky.social is an absolute must watch. Cleverly filmed (I’m guessing with fewer #airmiles) - and brilliantly explained - it’s all about the deliberate industrialization of #food and why we can’t stop eating bad stuff! www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...
