This is big: Spain, Ireland and the Netherlands have all pulled out of Eurovision, because Israel have been allowed to enter. We need the BBC to do the same to up the pressure on the competition's bosses. Sign the petition calling for a UK boycott now: 38d.gs/aba_
Sign the petition: tell the BBC to boycott Eurovision unless Israel is banned

For the past couple of years, I've watched this film in May instead of #Eurovision, not sure I can bear to do it again unless the BBC boycotts (which they shamefully won't). It's such a bittersweet reminder of what was.

I had a lovely time at #UKSGForum2025 today despite the chaotic train connections. Lots to report back to colleagues! I'm hoping the next conference I go to I don't end up spilling my tea - it's becoming a bit of a habit #dyspraxia

For those opening their Hotel Chocolat advent calendars, be advised some have been put in boxes the wrong way. I opened the window to Day 1 and no choc 😢. Turning the tray the right way round means I have lots of lovely vegan choc (honestly the panic after counting the gaps rather than the chocs 😅)

I did it! 🎉🌊🥳

So proud to say that I completed my 7km swim today in 3 hours 50 mins, all to raise the money for a fully accessible changing room at Stocksbridge Leisure Centre.

It was a huge challenge and I’d love to reach our £7k target: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/swim-penis...

This is not just a shocking statistic. It is the lived reality of women across Britain. Each number represents a life lost, a family broken, a community grieving.

When we hear this, our anger should be directed where it belongs - at the systems that fail to keep women safe - not at trans people.

To put that these Motability cuts into perspective...

It will save around £300 million.

Latest figures show the DWP has spent over £400 million fighting people on PIP appeals.

Scrap policies that punish Disabled people & stop pretending it's about economic efficiency! #Budget

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

This petition was rejected because it was too similar to another petition: "Fund COVID booster vaccines for the general public"

People of London! PLEASE SHARE. I lost my necklace last night (10th Nov), and I'm hoping someone has found it. I caught the Northern Line from High Barnet to Leicester Square, then walked to the Prince Charles Cinema, then the same back again. I only noticed it was gone when I got home.

Overshooting 1.5°C wasn't 'inevitable.'

We've been pushed by fossil fuel giants & governments that pander to them.

Every delay, every oil field, every broken promise made this crisis worse.

Keir Starmer, will you promise to leave Rosebank undeveloped?
