Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

Wow wow wow! Was not expecting to see my name and a garden I’ve designed featured in this month’s Gardens Illustrated. Bowled over! #gardendesignawards

As if the richest man in the world gleefully spearheading efforts to deprive some of the neediest people in the world food and medicines wasn’t enough to let people know that we should have nothing to do with him.

It's almost as if it's not a good idea to rely on pieces of defence and communications infrastructure that are in the hands of one of the most morally depraved and emotionally unstable wretches ever to walk the earth

I love this. Not only is Raf spot on, but the gormless looks from the opposite side showing that the Reform politician doesn’t totally get how his hide is being comprehensively tanned.

Today let’s remember the UK right’s collective adoration of Donald Trump. They championed him, said he was far better than the alternative, that he would deliver a New Jerusalem while owning the Libs. As with every other major call of the last 20 years, they were totally and unequivocally wrong.

The tree behind me, in case you're interested, is my favourite tree. Not showy in blossom, but has the most gorgeous green heart shaped leaves which flutter delicately in the breeze and in autumn turn golden, before falling with the scent of candy floss. It's called Cercidiphyllum japonicum

‘Yes Donald of course you can use our bases to bomb Iran. Oh, you don’t think they’re safe and are withdrawing your aircraft? What a darn shame, well if we can be of assistance, don’t hesitate to ask!’

I'm so very sad to hear of the death of Esther Ranzen who played an important role in reuniting me with Nicky Winton - the man who saved my life. It's so desperately sad that she couldn't choose assisted dying as was her wish.

If Paris can do it, why can't we? #London @london.gov.uk

“Paris has embarked on a grand transformation, planting 155k trees, adding hundreds of kms of bike lanes, pedestrianising 300 school streets and banning cars from the banks of the Seine. Parking has been turned into green space…Fewer parents fear their child being run over when they walk to school.”

Yep it’s still leaning, but still worth seeing in person. No restaurant painted backdrop or tea towel prepares you for the real thing. And at night it’s less crowded and more atmospheric. #Pisa

Donated a chunk to the RNLI yesterday. This is just vile and should turn the stomach of every right thinking person.

Sarah Murphy@13sarahmurphy.bsky.social

This should be the moment people finally realise that Farage has turned them into fascists. If you’re choosing this dangerous inhumanity over the rescue work of the RNLI, you’ve lost your minds to racism and hatred.

I’m just a person on my fucking knees begging the government to use its absolutely massive majority to do something extremely fucking popular: save our democracy.

This makes me very sad this was a subsay night staple in our house, where we hoovered up the downhill and night slalom as much as the big air, half pipe and boardercross. We even walked back up the aisle to the theme tune on our wedding day. RIP Ski Sunday. 😢🎿🚠⛷️🏂⛰️❄️

If welfare spending going up 0.8% over twenty years is out of control, how would they describe CEO pay levels over the same time frame?
