“What happened around Nigel is not an acceptable form of protest, what I can’t pretend is that he hasn’t fed into a culture of anger that ends up manifesting in this kind of aggressive kind of politics.” Former Lab Mayor Marvin Rees reacts to objects being thrown at Nigel Farage.

What a way to celebrate #NationalGardeningWeek! A bountiful harvest is sure to come soon at our dementia-friendly allotment in North Bristol thanks to this incredibly kind donation. 🌱
On Monday, we received a massive delivery of vegetable seedlings from the @blaise_plants Donation Project - and immediately planted many of them! We're looking helping feed the local community with some of the crops with the help of #BountifulBristol
