I had it with ceviche once and that was really good ! Personally I think it goes well with chilli too. Otherwise with some thick greek yoghurt and toasted seeds or nuts, or with pear (if you can eat those). Might go well on a cheese board too

Me and my boyfriend were talking about this the other day - there are LOADS of butterflies around this year. I've definitely noticed an improvement in my hayfever too, which I'm guessing is because it's not also coinciding with as much pollution

Crackers, cucumber, cottage cheese and chilli flakes. If I have it in, feta and honey in place of cottage cheese

Yes I had numerous battles at the time about this and my dad to his credit agreed with me when none of my classmates did

Sex workers’ fight for decriminalization, explained Sex workers have been fighting for decriminalization for generations. Now politicians are starting to listen.

Today is International Sex Workers' Day. The criminalization of sex work increases the risk of harm to sex workers -- including harm from arrest, jailing, conviction, stigmatization, violence, and exploitation. Sex work should be decriminalized.

You know it is garbage straight out the gate when
1. Tony Blair says it, and
2. He describes patients as "customers"

This angered me even at the time. I was still at the NHS then, as was another housemate, and inevitably Covid came into our home multiple times, early, before tests were available. We'd enough exposure to anecdotally attribute then-unlisted symptoms to Covid but thousands of people did not, and died

Good to see @zackpolanski.bsky.social on BBC News this morning, refusing to cave in to a line of questioning, calling it absurd & holding the line - and being explicit about genocide in Palestine on a panel where another person claimed starvation is an "understandable" tactic by Israeli government

Ministers brace for NHS strikes after doctors denounce β€˜derisory’ pay rise Other NHS staff decry their award, while teachers are angered part of their pay rise will come from school budget

Solidarity between public sector workers is strong; workers in e.g. education or healthcare want the public sector to rise together. The govt knows every public sector worker is vital; this is divide and rule; coordinated industrial action is the only way forward

ICB shrinkage will mean service cuts. Unions were not consulted, and that's the red flag. Industrial action & union activity will also be stifled as focus shifts from working conditions to job retention. Health service workers & health service users (many people are both) will pay the price. Again

Big show of solidarity at the emergency Downing St demo tonight. Israel broke ceasefire to strike & kill over 400 in Gaza overnight; the Israeli blockade denies even the most basic supplies to more than 1 million Palestinian children.

Check out Jane Bence's fundraising page, Walking to help others..... I'm fundraising for The Walton Centre Charity! Check out my page to find out why.

loved ones when they’re having brain surgery, or other frightening neurological procedures. I know times are really tight for everybody but if you can spare even a couple of quid to support my mum’s fundraising I’d be really grateful.

Kabir Hossain, the Joint General Secretary of NGWF in relation to a case he wasn't even named in. We support the call for his release!
