As a parent of a toddler with severe food allergy who attends nursery, the concept of reducing carer toddler ratios fills me with dread @BorisJohnson early years educators need better pay and conditions not worse!

I'm currently enjoying reading Dirt to Soil by Gabe Brown. His practice of ecological agriculture totally makes sense to me. Nourishing and regenerating soil through diverse planting and grazing is what we need to do to keep farming without destroying the planet. #SoilMatters

Healthy soil is essential to the future of food production but did you know our planet is losing 24 billion tonnes of fertile soil every year? Meet Gabe Brown, a farmer from North Dakota, who is practicing regenerative farming to improve soil and the ecosystem🌱



Got to watch figure skating through the eyes of 4 year old who has never seen it before. Absolute magic 🤯💫😍 "They're not even wobbling when they're dizzy"

Today I'm taking part in the #UCUStrikesBack @UM_UCU. I'd rather be writing about research for policy makers (my usual job). However it's likely that I will be forced out of higher education during maternity leave due to casualisation and gender inequality. @PregnantScrewed


Would recommend this training for @OfficialUoM HR team

We really MUST stop digging peat out of the ground for gardening. Peat bogs are huge stores of carbon, and internationally rare habitats. It is madness. Please sign this petition, and RT petition.parliament.uk/petitions/2633…

What if everyone got 20 years of retirement but you could decide when to take it? A bit like annual leave but for your life span @CheerfulPodcast


Thoroughly enjoyed my first intergenerational #ClimateChange conference today @meenorguk met a priest and dozens of climate change aware school kids. Some schools rightly worried about their heavy metal contaminated soils @AndyBurnhamGM
