Just did a feedback survey for @Fairphone I mostly enjoy mine, but the one thing I'd change is I'd make it so I can hold it *and* type a text message or WhatsApp, with the same hand (when I'm pushing the pushchair for example). I must have short thumbs.

Such a heavy heart for #Ukraine - solidarity with all who work for peace, all who face violence and oppression, and all who have impossible choices to make
We're holding a demo in support of the people of Ukraine @ 1pm tomorrow (Sat). All are invited to attend the event @ the junction of High Street & Kendrick Street. Please bring banners or placards. We'll see you there! zcu.io/9YXQ #supportukraine @StroudTimes

Active travel like walking and cycling is a gendered issue. Don't believe me? I'll prove it to you.

PM’s “apology” for not knowing about the party happening in Downing Street fools no-one. This is happening on his watch in the place he lives - he needs to take responsibility rather than throwing his staff under the bus. He has to resign #PMQs
Excellent to be at @SubRoomsStroud for the last night of @sweeneyfiddle tour, making beautifully blended and balanced sounds👂🎻🎶 So grateful, in a time of anxiety dreams, for the makers and musicians in our town. They're not just tunes, they give me hope 🙏

Every county in the UK should be able to say with confidence, ‘this will / must never happen here’. ⁦⁦@GlosCC⁩ ⁦@Glos_Police⁩ ⁦@Glos_OPCC⁩ ? So many enquires - too many deaths. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bi…

On Friday I had an MRI scan (thanks to JR hospital, Oxford) with the luxury of headphones and a choice of radio station. So, naturally chose @BBCRadio3 who played some Strauss for the full space age experience youtu.be/QwxYiVXYyVs

Mary Robinson as #COP26 concludes:“COP26 has made some progress, but nowhere near enough to avoid climate disaster. While millions around the world are already in crisis, not enough leaders were in crisis mode. People will see this as a historically shameful dereliction of duty.”

Brilliant to hear from @DavenportJuliet @simonpic78 @carla_denyer and Dan Green at the @StroudGreens Day After COP26 event. It's so hard to feel hopeful, but knowing we're not alone, and we are surrounded by a community of activists gives me courage not to give up.

Yes it really is #COP26 transport day today! Will we hear anything about #TrafficReduction and increasing #publictransport & #walking & #cycling or will it all be blah blah blah about electric vehicles? #EVsNotEnough #ResetRIS2 #ClimateCrisis (Photo: Derrick Coffee)

Booked for Stroud #lovelivemusic
This time in 2 weeks, my tour will have started! Now is the time to buy your tickets - my plea for help has worked well, so thanks for spreading the word and booking tickets. Still a very long way to go in Derby, Cardiff and Ludlow. Only a handful of tickets left for York!
