Great to be with Director Bart van Ark of @TPIProductivity talking about South West region's productivity with Business West and University of Bristol scholars from Economics, Politics, Geography and University of Bristol Business School 😀

Memories from last year, when we took the #MuseumOfTheMoon to Aida Camp, West Bank, Palestine. A child asked if he could get inside it, as a means of escape from the refugee camp.
Imagine we might learn from your borrowing habits (or your bookshelf)
How lovely - the librarian from my old school emailed me, having heard my Thought for the Day on St Francis last week. She'd been clearing out books that hadn't been borrowed in years & found this. I was the only ever borrower!
I am - and have always been - a religion geek 🤓

We're delighted to be named one of The @guardian's best podcasts of the week - plus, we're in good company with our friends at The Outdoors Fix and lots more brilliant podcasts about the great outdoors.
Read all about it:
theguardian.com/tv-and-radio…
ALT Text that says "Folk On Foot - In this podcast, former BBC exec Matthew Bannister gets top folk musicians to take him on their favourite walks around the places that inspire their music. It's a great way to discover the UK, from the Mourne mountains in Northern Ireland to the River Rede in Northumberland, and episodes often include a performance artfully filmed on location. Among the bigger names to have featured are Johnny Flynn on Hackney Marshes in east London and Raynor Winn, author of The Salt Path, on the South West Coast Path."

To mark the #DemocraticConvention #DNC2024 #DNC we've had fun adapting @Eddy_Grant's gloriously hopeful international anti-apartheid anthem from 1988.
So here's 🎶 "Gimme Hope Kamala" - a parody twist about @KamalaHarris 💙 vs #DonaldTrump 🍊 that pulls no punches.
Looking forward to @greenbelt after a pause. Are you going too?
With just one week until #GB24 kicks off, many hands are already busy at Boughton prepping for your arrival. Here’s a sneak peek at what a few of our legendary Site Decor volunteer team have been up to.

We have freedom of speech in the UK; it's written into our law in the 1998 Human Rigts Act. But rights come with responsibilities (I appreciate that's a concept you're not familiar with); there's a requirement not to incite criminality or spread hatred online. We find society works better that way.

Faith leaders came together at @BristolCathedra this afternoon to send the message that hate will not be tolerated in the city after violent anti-immigration protests.
