Summer heatwaves & droughts are now more common across Europe, impacting harvests. Food security is a major concern. But what if there's a way to improve our food resilience through #communityorchards? www.theorchardproject.org.uk/blog/increas...

Today is the 81st anniversary of the nuclear bombing of #Hiroshima. Yet despite the gut wrenching horror, the 9 nuclear states have *already* amassed the equivalent firepower of 145.000 Hiroshima bombs & still want more. This is madness. #NoMoreHiroshimas @cnduk.bsky.social

An hour in Gaza, hardship and hope: walk to the shops with Farah Hassan, buy food for the Friday meal and see people praying in the street where the mosques used to be, on @bylines.cymru. Keep talking about #Gaza @oxfamcymru.bsky.social @pscupdates.bsky.social bylines.cymru/voices-lleis...

Hundreds of Jews and Palestinians gathered in Tel Aviv today to protest our government’s forever war — in Lebanon, Gaza, the West Bank, and Iran. We know this isn’t normal. We know all of us deserve better. Enough.

Let's remember Jack Letts, son of friends of mine, still stuck without charge in a Syrian jail, stripped of British citizenship but never charged with anything. And many others languishing there with him.

Direct donations to families in Gaza are a lifeline, because of their shattered economy and aid not getting through. Just give something whenever we can and build solidarity. We may need it ourselves one day.

Boost bean pollination naturally! Plant climbing sweet peas beside your beans. They’ll twine up the same stakes or wire, and the sweet peas’ scent draws in pollinators—who’ll also visit your bean flowers. A beautiful, bee-friendly combo! #gardenhack #pollinatorfriendly #growyourown
