Pakhshan Azizi and Verisheh Moradi, both from Iran’s oppressed Kurdish minority, are at imminent risk of execution in Iran. In 2023 alone, Iran executed at least 853 people. We must act now. Sign the petition amnesty.org.uk/actions/stop-e…

Lord Kinnock, former Cardiff Uni Chancellor, alumnus, & former Labour Leader, condemns the breadth & depth of cuts at the Uni. He joins a growing army of public figures who are appalled at these cruel & unnecessary cuts. CC: Cardiff UCU✊🌱 🔥✊👇 walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-new…

Seeing how Mahmoud Khalil was detained is unreal. A guy wearing an Avengers shirt from an unnamed agency says “we have you,” they refuse to give their names and it seems he has no rights to be read while being arrested, all while his pregnant wife watches.

Strong ballot turnout Cardiff UCU✊🌱. Workers are united against the opposition of cruel, unnecessary ✂️ It's time Leadership listens to its staff and opens its eyes to the massive public, political and community support, before they further damage the uni's tattered reputation.✊️

Here we go again -this time last year we were put on half-pay for months, for taking part in legitimate collective action. Huge mandate for new strike action against the current round of mass-redundancies. Shame on senior management for bringing us to this point yet again.

To all of my trans students, friends and colleagues, at the end of what has clearly been a very difficult day. I hope you know that *everyone* is welcome here, and always will be. [The photo is the the sign on my uni office door, and will be for as long as I have a uni office]

The Crab Bay Puffin Hide is pretty special this year. We have three pairs currently incubating behind the one-way glass, offering magical views of egg turning, nest tidying, incubation changeovers and sleeping Puffins.

Working with lots of landowners in the Amman Valley on lots of conservation projects. Only 2 occupied Barn Owl boxes yesterday, plus a Tawny. We also saw lots of meadows and flower rich pastures. Its an amazing place. Thanks to Cedwyn and Dafydd for their Barn Owl expertise.

Pro-grouse shooting Labour MP Sam Rushworth received £10,000 donation from local grouse moor gamekeeper group. Oh! His support for driven grouse shooting during Monday's debate now makes a lot more sense! New blog ⬇️⬇️ raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/07/03/pro…

Much love and respect to Aberystwyth Town Council for voting unanimously to fly the flag of Palestine above its medieval castle for the next two weeks. On 26 July, during the Red Line for Palestine march, that flag will fly high for Gaza. Truth crushed to earth shall rise again.

In Cardiff, a student raises the Palestinian flag at her graduation. Her name: Nelly Adam, Queen Niche. In Gaza, every university has been bombed. Students demand Cardiff University sever military ties and defend the right to education. For Palestinians, for everyone.

A case of wanton destruction of one of our vital wildflower verges in Norfolk, right when our pollinators are at their peak. No sightline issues, no need for flailing prior to a harvest & certainly no reason to cut down flowers in full bloom. Norfolk County Council is this a protected verge?

I have never felt so shaken. Children are dying of hunger. Falling one after another, like petals of a dying flower. Under our watch. How do you sleep, Presidents, Foreign Ministers, political leaders, diplomats, civil servants - doing nothing to stop Israel’s starvation
