The Panorama edit was poor journalism, not sure how it happened (more than 15 yo when I worked there we all had to go on a course because someone made the Queen look grumpy about something in the wrong order). But of all of it, this is the only piece I’ve read that properly nails the issue…

The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

New piece from me.

Surely no mystery. Greenfield is cheaper to build on and can’t see how the LA leverages that to promote more brownfield? Stoke is full of brownfield sites (many of which are potentially very attractive) but is still allocating loads of greenfield because that’s the only way houses will be built.

The Labour right and their journalist outriders are TERRIFIED of Labour losing power. They are absolutely shaking in their boots at the prospect of the Greens having any success.

Let’s make sure they were right to be scared, join and vote Green. The grass is greener ✅❇️💚

Alongside, our recent Poppy exhibition explores how the flower became a symbol of remembrance over the past 100 years and tells the story of Anna Guérin whose poppy appeal helped remembrance take root.
Close-up of a book cover titled “The Poppy Lady: The Story of Madame Anna Guérin and the Remembrance Poppy” by Heather Anne Johnson. The design features bold red and black text on a textured beige background, with several red fabric poppies prominently displayed. One poppy includes a metal centre stamped with lettering, while another is attached to a green tag reading “DECORATION DAY 1921 POPPY LAST FROM FRANCE.” A vintage card marked “Armistice Day 1921” appears beneath the flowers, reinforcing the historical theme.

🖼️ Astrid Sheckels
A watercolor painting by artist Astrid Sheckels. It depicts a group of woodland animals, including rabbits, mice, a badger, and squirrels, performing as a string orchestra in a forest setting. The animals are dressed in formal attire, such as tuxedos and a dress, and are playing various string instruments, including violins, a cello, and a double bass. The scene is illuminated by two large candelabras attached to trees and a string of lights in the branches above.

🚨The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights says it has collected new testimonies from recently released captives and documented systematic sexual torture of Palestinian detainees, including rape, forced stripping, and filming, describing it as part of Israel’s broader campaign to destroy human dignity in Gaza. Among the cases is N.A., a 42-year-old mother from northern Gaza, who told PCHR she was raped four times by Israeli soldiers and subjected to repeated torture and humiliation in detention after she was detained while passing through an Israeli checkpoint set up in northern Gaza in November 2024. 📌 Her testimony in full: “At dawn I heard the soldiers shouting, saying that morning prayers were forbidden, and I think it was the fourth day after my arrest from Gaza. The soldiers moved me to a place I didn’t know because my eyes were blindfolded, and they ordered me to take off my clothes. I did so. They put me on a metal table, pressed my chest and head against it, cuffed my hands to the end of the bed, and pulled my legs apart forcefully. I felt a penis penetrating my anus and a man raping me. I started screaming, and they beat me on my back and head while I was blindfolded. I felt the man who was raping me ejaculate inside my anus. I kept screaming and being beaten, and I could hear a camera—so I believe they were filming me. The rape lasted about 10 minutes. After that, they left me for an hour in the same position, with my hands cuffed to the bed with metal handcuffs, my face on the bed, my feet on the floor, and I was completely naked. Again, after an hour, I was raped fully in the same position, with penetration into my vagina, and I was beaten while I screamed. There were several soldiers; I heard them laughing and the camera clicking as it took pictures. This rape was very quick and there was no ejaculation. During the rape they beat me with their hands on my head and back. Again, after an hour, I was raped fully in the same position, with penetration into my vagina, and I was beaten while I screamed. There were several soldiers; I heard them laughing and the camera clicking as it took pictures. This rape was very quick and there was no ejaculation. During the rape they beat me with their hands on my head and back. I cannot describe what I felt; I wished for death every moment. After they raped me, I was left alone in the same room, hands still cuffed to the bed and without clothes for many hours. I could hear the soldiers outside speaking Hebrew and laughing. Later, I was raped again vaginally. I screamed, but they beat me whenever I tried to resist. After more than an hour, I’m not sure about the time, a masked soldier entered, removed my blindfold, lifted his face covering; he had white skin and was tall. He asked if I spoke English; I said no. He said he was Russian and ordered me to masturbate his penis. I refused, and he hit me in the face after raping me. That day I was raped twice. I was left naked the whole day in the room where I spent three days. On the first day I was raped twice; on the second day I was raped twice; on the third day I remained without clothes while they looked at me through the door slit and filmed me. One soldier said they would post my photos on social media. While I was in the room, my period started; then they told me to put on clothes and transferred me to another room.” Palestinian Centre for Human Rights: November 10, 2025.

Truly remarkable!

The consequences of global warming often denied by skeptics is that many of our planet’s recently stable systems have become highly unstable.

The polar vortex has become much less stable and will probably continue to become less and less stable in future.

More extreme weather...

The Republican Senate majority is built on minority rule, enabled by unequal representation & the two-party system.

The GOP hasn’t won more total votes or represented more people than Dems since the 1990s. They’ve won the Senate in 7 of 13 elections since 2000 anyway
