Well done Scotland. 👏

I know I have some people in the music industry following me. This is a great idea. A live aid type of concert benefitting Gaza on the same night that Eurovision airs, with hopefully all countries who are boycotting Eurovision participating here
I could see the Irish Palestine Solidarity Campaign trying to organise something like that in Ireland. It would be great if we could do something jointly with the other countries that are also boycotting. I see Zoe Lawlor sometimes - chair of the IPSC - so will sound her out.

If you have a big following, please share this petition to get the word back out there - we are so close but need to help raise awareness with the new set of MPs in Government actnow.peatfreepartnership.org.uk/end-peat-sal... @peatfree.bsky.social

This is a superb speech from @zackpolanski.bsky.social
It’s why the #BBC make Question Time, in order to hear different voices, and Zack’s is undoubtedly the strongest in the room here.
“You’re a Government of cowards.” Spot on. Labour *never* speaks positively about immigration #bbcqt

#OnThisDay 4th December 2012 We loved this car at the time. It was brilliant in some ways, we could drive it anywhere, it pulled the trailer, carted muddy dogs and feral kids around. But it was noisy, uncomfortable, hot, cold, gas guzzling, heavy. Got an EV now.🤣

Hello #GardensHour. I haven’t taken any photos yet this December. So here’s one of last year’s Christmas wreath made from bits from the garden. Lots of work here all winter when the soil is dry enough. The whole garden is having a revamp. 🙂

The RSPB invited the British public to vote on this year’s Bird of the Year. Guess which bird won with 81% of the vote? A bird who needs the prize to be swift bricks! Oh yes, the swift won. Email your MP now about swifts. We need to pull together for Britain’s most popular bird
