Depressing news that Govt may approve bee-killing pesticide despite election promise to ban it - & outrageous that British Sugar has applied to use neonics for 5th year, despite industry commitment to end reliance in 2023. Govt must act to protect bees 🐝 theguardian.com/environment/…

Cruelty doesn’t deter, but compassion saves lives.
This is why I've joined the movement for #RoutesToSafety for refugees today.

Just finished I Am Not A Number by @LisaHeathfield and I am completely broken. What an incredible, beautifully written, but utterly disturbing book. Everybody who believes that hate is the way forward needs to read this book. Incredible!

As young people across the UK are getting their #GCSEresults, schools in Gaza are being bombed.
100% of children in Gaza are unable to go to school.
Education is a fundamental right for every child and that right does not end in times of emergency.

I'm carrying around @JoannaGlenBooks' Maybe, Perhaps, Possibly, as the precious gold it is. Loving every word. #Maybperhapspossibly
I've never needed to know, so desperately, what happens after the final page, as I do with @ThatSadieJones' astonishing #AmyandLan. It's completely captured my heart and mind.
