Well, where there's smoke there is typically fire. And even more alarming, which adds fuel to this fire, your colleague Helen Horton goes on to say "campaigners for a natural history GCSE recently said this had been blocked too" as seen by LABOUR officials as a Tory idea. Guardian Dec 2nd 2024. 👇

Just a reminder, while Keir Starmer et al. were celebrating Christmas & New Years, Gaie Delap, a 77 yr old Bristol Quaker (non-violent climate crisis protester) was recalled to UK prison as the home detention tags were too large for her wrist. This Friday is her 78 Birthday. #FreeGaieVigil

The last 51 days I’ve followed the Vendée Globe round the world solo sailing race. The top 10 boats now sailing up the Argentine Coast and today navigating through hundreds of Chinese fishing boats. No doubt @IPBES has scientists aware and documenting the rich marine biodiversity at this location.

@sdinpraxis.bsky.social Hi. Today got an email from UK International Development Select Committee, a late notice for a meeting Dec 3 changed to private. All info now deleted from the Committee website. Topic: MPs discuss Israeli NGOs providing aid to Gaza & West bank in view of UNRWA ban. Why?

Absolute chaos in the final negotiations at #COP29Baku - a nightmare for negotiators as key countries not allowed in. Unbelievable and very sad.

I’ve just heard tragic news. An old friend of mine, who studied architecture in London (on the same course together) just announced the death of his nephew in Ukraine killed in action as a medic. Only 22 years old. He knew the risk leaving UK to Ukraine’s frontline but was determined to help.
