The Ukraine war is not just a European war, it's a US war, too. Maga republicans forgetting that the US & UK were instrumental in bringing down the Soviet 'Iron Curtain' and allowing countries like #Ukraine to regain their independence. Bannon needs schooling in recent history. #SlavaUkraine

Just bottled a batch of blackcurrant cordial from fruit picked on our allotment. Sweet, tart and properly fruity. Deeply refreshing with sparkling water. In this heat, it hits the spot. Ribena isnโ€™t even in the running. ๐Ÿ”ด๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ต #AllotmentLife

Hainanese chicken: poached chicken, fragrant jasmine rice cooked in a ginger-garlic broth, accompanied by miso dipping sauce and a smashed cucumber salad. First introduced to this dish by my friend Nicky at Hey Hey Noodle Bar, and I finally got around to making it. ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐Ÿฅข๐Ÿš

This is appalling from HSBC, Barclays and other big banks. They look set to drop even their symbolic 'commitment' to averting climate breakdownโ€”brazenly advocating destroying our habitable climate for a quick buck. It's so easy to move to a bank which doesn't lend to fossil fuels๐Ÿ‘‡
