I popped out for milk, went to pay for it and got a huge spontaneous hug from the man at the checkout. Thank you for all 🇬🇧 has done, he said. I said, thank you for all 🇺🇦 is doing. The queue of people behind me were dabbing their eyes. Buying milk will never be the same again.

No enforcement. Our politicians are letting us down. Amazon deforestation in April was the worst in modern records. Now becoming carbon emitter. Demand action. newscientist.com/article/231…

Those are the moral leaders we need now more then ever. They seem to be missing. Most lack the courage needed to stand up against evil. Thanks to those who do.

May her memory be a blessing

Very sorry to hear that one of the last independent Russian news outlets, the television station TV Rain (Dozhd) has stopped broadcasting. It was accused by the Russian govt of ‘inciting extremism’ & ‘abusing Russian citizens’ — i.e. telling the truth about Ukraine.

Roman Abramovich’s daughter has come out against Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Abramovich himself has always said it’s unfair to call him a crony of Putin’s. Now would be a good moment for him to make his position clear.

Relatively little attention has been given to the extraordinary threats against Sweden and Finland by the Russian foreign ministry, warning of the consequences if they decide to join NATO. And we thought that kind of thing was over & done with in Europe.

In a supremely well researched and erudite @FT Magazine piece, @TimHarford is not optimistic that something will turn up to rescue the UK economy

The immediate answer to variants should not be third boosters. It should be global vaccine equity.
We will continue to have new, more virulent variants if we allow the virus to grow unchecked. What happens in another part of the world will absolutely impact us.
