If we're going to tackle climate breakdown, we need to #ReforestEngland. We have enough land in England to double tree cover by growing the right trees in the right places. @ZacGoldsmith will you take action & set a long-term tree cover target?
Today I'm supporting the Day of Action to #CloseTheBarracks, urging @PritiPatel to: 1️⃣ #CloseTheBarracks 2️⃣ House people seeking asylum in communities 3️⃣ Commit to a vision of a fair & compassionate asylum system Will you join me

Frustrating to see another top-down approach to a problem that cannot be solved without the involvement of citizens and communities. Lonelines will not be helped by a minister, a strategy, guidance for commissioners and service providers. campaigntoendloneliness.org/…
Good see that Pomodoros can still stop for cake.
Intersting to read the original Darzi report published in 2008 under Labour Government to celebrate NHS 60th birthday. Things seem so very different and less optimistic a decade later. Makes the PA all the more important
