Friends and family, it is getting warmer and you may be tempted to go walking in the beautiful Welsh countryside. So, please be careful where you put your feet because these little fellows have now hatched and may be hiding in the grass and you really do not want to upset their mum or dad.

Wow, Americans turned their clocks forward but we don't change ours in the UK until the end of the month! And they pronounce "tomato" as "elevator", and their word for "trousers" is "sidewalk"! So much for the special relationship! Also their government is a bunch of fascists.

The Nigerian President @officialABAT is observing Ramadan. In order to accommodate him and other Muslim guests - canapés are being served before the State Banquet, for Iftar, to give sustenance to those who can’t wait for the main meal to start (usually 9pm). Ramadan Mubarak ☪️

Campaign Against Antisemitism
Remember Jay Rayner saying this about The Guardian a year and a half ago? “For years now being Jewish, however non-observant, and working for the company has been uncomfortable, at times excruciating.” We’ll just leave this here. telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/…

@GHoTiO1 @Badgeration @antisemitism One can be culturally linked to family and community, regardless of faith. Many cultural practices are to a degree linked to a religious practice. It's really not that difficult, though 'identity' can be quite complex.

@Badgeration @antisemitism That’s irrelevant when talking about an ethnicity. Ashkenazi and Sephardic are different ethnicities within the Jewish community. One can identify as either. But to identify broadly as Jewish would require at least some belief in Judaism.

@IndexCensorship Sad that there is little engagement with this post about this challenging issue. Unlike the misinformation and disinformation posts that seem to narrow the space for reasonable inquiry.

We may find the al-Quds Day march distasteful but banning it risks normalising use of “safety” concerns to shut down other protests. The right to protest must apply even to speech we strongly disagree with. More on why we oppose this decision: indexoncensorship.org/2026/03/defend…

@afneil Leaders can be replaced, buildings rebuilt. But long term peace is not the absence of war. Peace has to built incrementally over time, and fragile even then. But it is precious and felt in its absence. Capricious adventurers bet that rubble sells in markets with hearts of stone.

BREAKING: Israel targeted Iran’s security chief, Ali Larijani, in airstrikes yesterday and believes he was killed. Larijani probably the leading regime hawk. The Israeli military said it had also killed the commander of Iran’s Basij, the regime’s paramilitary goons with units embedded across the nation to suppress dissent.

Hearing that @Guardian editor Katharine Viner has been overwhelmed with complaints (many from her friends) about Jonathan Liew’s abhorrent column justifying smashing up a branch of Gail’s because it had a Jewish founder. Insiders say she is beyond angry and heads will roll.

@RobinLe88025009 @floboflo She was a Gurney and took up Fry after marriage. Family linked to Gurney Bank, Barclays Bank, and Norwich. Chocolate linked to her husband's family, though her husband was not directly involved as I recall. Elizabeth is celebrated for 19th C. prison reform.

Sorry @EdwardJDavey I have stood up for you when @RoryStewartUK has attacked your “silly stunts” as he calls them because I know how hard it can be for smaller parties to get attention. But this is BS on a @Nigel_Farage scale. Nobody alive imagines that Churchill legend will wane because we see his face less on a banknote. And the public demand (inc I imagine many many LibDems) is for our nature and wildlife to be celebrated alongside our great humans. Leave the culture wars to the bullshitters who have nothing else to offer. These are really serious times. Be serious.

Winston Churchill helped defeat fascism in Europe. He deserves better than being replaced by a badger 🦡

Good @RestIsPolitics QT, @campbellclaret and @RoryStewartUK. But شاهد said as “shaahed” (the drone) and شهید said as “shaheed” (martyr) aren’t the same. شاهد means witness or observer. شهید means martyr, of course.
