Things feel increasingly dark & the world led by bullies. Don't lose hope. Lead with love. The things you do for the people around you, in your community, the way you listen to & respect each other, make space for different views - these matter & build bridges.

Spent the weekend in Scotland door-knocking for @ChrisMurray2010- not just because he's my friend but because I know he'd make an amazing MP who will work SO hard for his community. Especially for people who need it the most!
Vote @ScottishLabour Edinburgh East & Musselburgh🏴🌹

The Suffragettes were imprisoned & force-fed while on hunger strike for fighting for their right to vote.
Don't take your vote for granted.
Today is the last day to register to vote in the UK election. It's really simple & takes 5 minutes.

Happy 98th birthday to David Attenborough. For decades he's championed the wonder of nature & corralled governments to take action on climate change.
Today it was announced over the last year the world's oceans have broken temperature records every single day.

An invasion on Rafah means so many more civilian deaths & suffering in Gaza. This has to stop. This will never lead to peace. Ceasefire now.

UK folk, you've still got just under 5 hours left to vote in the local elections. Polls close at 10pm. Remember to take photographic ID and exercise your democratic right honeys!

Just finished a black cab tour of Belfast with Stevie who showed us around and took us through the history of the Troubles. Absolutely incredible - my mind is blown. So much to learn from people who live in peace after such polarisation and war.

I'm off for a road trip in Ireland for the week and I'm delighted about it! If anyone has any recommendations for pubs, walks or anything else on the west coast let me know. Have you been to Ireland before? What was your favorite spot?

It's been a tough few months. Ends and beginnings. Grief and hope.
And through that, my heart couldn't quite face doing a banana. Strange how these things are connected, although maybe not so strange really. Anyway, gradually gradually, new beginnings.
Happy Easter all!

Ramadan Mubarak to all observing Ramadan, the Islamic holy month. Wishing you peace.
As the sun goes down this evening, the people of Gaza won't have food to break their fast.
How heartbreaking and deplorable that it has got to this.

One of the awful yet unsurprising consequences of the horror taking place in Israel and Palestine is increasing antisemitism and Islamophobia further afield.
Now more than ever we should be reaching out with love to our neighbours who are fearful and suffering.
