I’m still trying to get action on PM’s systematic lying in parliament
The BBC asks whether people care about it
Please RT if you do
Alastair Campbell - “Peter Stefanovic’s video has had 12 million views. Every day he asks BBC why will you not play these clips of Johnson in Parliament lying at dispatch box. PM’s are meant to resign if they lie at dispatch box”
BBC interviewer “Do people care?”

Inclusion of international aviation and shipping emissions in the UK's climate law is a hugely significant step, which environmental campaigners have fought hard for. It should mark the beginning of the end of the era of fossil-fuelled flying bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-5…
Thanks @jamyerfeld for a timely and pungent thread on flying to academic conferences whenever we return to 'normal'
So excited that 'Sisters in Arms' -- the unknown history of female warriors from the Amazons to those battling MeToo campaigns today -- is published in Italian by @Odoyaeditore later this month.
Any thoughts @StopBrisAirport?

So thrilled for you @sarahsjahan -- can't wait to read your investigative pieces from @TBIJ
Really thrilled to be chosen as a @TBIJ fellow for this summer! The Bureau’s work is pivotal in understanding the complex, flawed world around us and sparking real change. Can’t wait to work with and learn from fantastic investigative journalists I’ve admired for so long!
