My cousin, Rod Wilson, died yesterday aged 83.  He didnt want any fuss after his death so this is me celebrating his life because every dear person deserves a mention. Largely self taught, kindness and generosity were just two of his qualities.  A life lived quite well.

Stonking winter walk with Andy and Sophia from @LeicsWildlife this morning. Perfect antidote to January blues

All makes perfect sense. Hope someone @mhclg is on it
🧵 1/8 Yesterday was a good day for housing. Lots of steps forward - although the number that were really just 'reversing decisions' is sobering. As a statement of intent @AngelaRayner has emphatically shifted the agenda. Here's the 'but'

As ever @KeivnClimate is succinct and to the point. Is anyone out there listening?
I wish those you engaged with (& other's working on these issues) would much more often (& repeatedly) make their views known & vociferously counter the litany of optimistic crap that dominates/twists the climate debate (& which journalists all too often unquestioningly peddle).

At this time of circular arguments, this seems to be a positive piece of good news
Today the #CSDDD was agreed on in the EU and we have yet another reason to celebrate the progress made to end forced labour 🎉💪 Discover what this groundbreaking law mean to workers and their representatives worldwide ⬇️

⁦@NDNDLeics⁩ is looking for a chair. Great opportunity for someone interested in using their leadership skills as a NED

Why is public housing always seen as a cash cow by politicians instead of the public asset that needs investment?
Sometimes I can be really really grumpy. This is one of those times. I may be best avoided tomorrow.

If @FT story is correct then further evidence that @RishiSunak is leading a Govt that is utterly out of touch with the lives of people

Gently pushing back on @grantshapps assertion of BBC bias in the Gaza crisis @MishalHusain showed her great professionalism while he ducked and dived as usual Proud of my national broadcaster #r4today
Israel is telling everyone in north Gaza - about 1.1 million people - to relocate to the south of the Strip in the next 24 hours. @MishalHusain asks Defence Secretary Grant Shapps if the UK government supports that order. #R4Today

#WorldCottonDay is today but as @Anti_Slavery notes it is also a day to consider how many people in the world face exploitation.
This Saturday is recognised as #WorldCottonDay. The day is intended to celebrate the importance of Cotton, but we'd like to emphasise that despite making progress in eradicating forced labour in the cotton industry, there’s still a long way to go... Read more 👇

So disappointed with this PM
This, if true, is nothing more than an admission of failure.

The #CEBill is the nearest thing we have to an actionable response to the systemic climate & ecological challenges we face. Good governance needs full & active engagement of its citizens, so please put pressure on your local MP to support the #CEBill
Ahead of #IYD2023, @frias_daphne, @domipalmer, @toritsui and @gunaguv call on you to join the Zero Hour campaign—back the Climate & Ecology Bill—and help us secure a liveable future. It’s time to lock the science into law. Back the #CEBill. 👉 zerohour.uk/back-the-bill #IYD23

Rare treat @PhoenixLeic showing the great #Oppenheimer in 35mm Forgotten how warm and involving film can be when viewed in this supposedly obsolete technology. Loved the atmos.
#Oppenheimer is now playing in theaters. Get tickets now to see Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., & Florence Pugh on the largest screen possible.
