@HarrisFed You're alarm is going off at Harris Aspire Academy in South Norwood, driving the entire street nuts! It often goes all weekend, till someone comes in on Monday morning. It's happened several times before. Can you please find a solution?

[Victoria Burrows @vburrows_writes]

@HarrietFL Wow, big news!

Can't get enough of these searingly honest menu item descriptions from the Chinese bakery near me

This is very worrying ...

Yesterday I got arrested whilst filming a @JustStop_Oil supporter holding a banner on the pavement near the coronation route. I'm a filmmaker and had my @BECTU press accreditation visible around my neck.

Police deemed this to be "conspiracy to commit a public nuisance".

Cultivated meat has "potential" for "lower environmental impact" (agricultural land use, air pollution, nitrogen-related emissions). Carbon footprint "substantially lower" than beef. But production is energy-intensive, so using renewable energy is crucial

Next on the @BBCFoodProg we’re taking a look at the recent 🍅 🥒 & 🫑 shortage - diving deep into the supply chain & asking bigger Qns about the food system. A story featuring empty shelves, an Italian energy company, eggs & chickpea diversity (@BBCSounds long version).

"I have to convict you... You should feel guilty for nothing." A truly extraordinary summation from Judge Wilkinson in this Just Stop Oil case https://t.co/Hxy3OYaU3l

A cat was saved from under the rubble in Turkey. It now refuses to leave its rescuer's side.

Very cool to show students how borders have changed over time… @TMHistoryIcons

This thread is from a few months ago, but the data still stands. Very interesting.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

I see this as the most important of all issues: the collapse of the Earth systems on we and all the living wonders with which we share this planet depend. It is happening in front of our eyes, and it should dominate the news everywhere, every day. https://t.co/XckVrtLbjN

1/Putin's partial mobilization order is an acknowledgment that Russia is failing to accomplish its objectives in Ukraine, I tell @IamAmnaNawaz. We discussed the impact of Putin's decision on the battlefield, its domestic implications, and the likelihood of escalation.

Saving food diversity is a responsibility we all share… fascinating paper in ⁦@PLOSONE⁩ about the role of gardeners across Asia in saving endangered varieties of fruits and vegetables. It’s not just down to farmers and seed banks!! https://t.co/PUkjk9wiQY
