⛴️ Orbit Clipper is here: a fully-electric, zero-emissions ferry across the Thames.
Journeys are every 10 minutes from each side on weekdays, and every 15 minutes on weekends.
Getting around South East London just got easier.

Belgium to recognise Palestinian state at UN and sanction Israel – Middle East crisis live
Foreign minister says move is not aimed at Israeli people but ‘ensuring their government respects international and humanitarian law’
The Guardian’s political correspondent Eleni Courea has done an explainer in July with a section looking at what recognising Palestine would look in practice. Here is an extract:
Recognition is a symbolic step but one that would infuriate the Israeli government, which argues that it would encourage Hamas and reward terrorism.
It is in effect a formal, political acknowledgment of Palestinian self-determination – without the need to engage in thorny practicalities such as the location of its borders or capital city.
In light of the humanitarian tragedy unfolding in Palestine, particularly in Gaza, and in response to the violence perpetrated by Israel in violation of international law, given its international obligations, including the duty to prevent any risk of genocide, Belgium had to take strong decisions to increase pressure on the Israeli government and Hamas terrorists.
This is not about sanctioning the Israeli people but about ensuring that their government respects international and humanitarian law and taking action to try to change the situation on the ground. Continue reading...

As the Environment Agency withdraw from maintaining rivers in Somerset and North Somerset, fears of a repeat of 2013/14 run deep. there's been widespread and rapid opposition to the decision.
