Prisoner 951 is another drama that shames Britain
The fictionalised version of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s torment in Iran is damning for the state, and for Boris Johnson

For his role in the pandemic and the prolonging of Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe’s unlawful arrest, he should be in prison, not writing Telegraph columns and earning from them.
There is sooo much wrong with the UK's media and politics.

‘They can’t take away your imagination and creativity’: Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe on how sewing helped her in Iran jail
Zaghari-Ratcliffe made clothes for her daughter while waiting for her eventual release. Now, the idea of creativity as a form of resistance is the theme of a new collaboration between London’s Imperial War Museum and the fabric department of Liberty.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.
