That’s pickled badger, isn’t it?

Again it has to be said - net zero is not the reason for our stubbornly and stupidly high energy prices - the global price of gas is.

Our discussion was positive, pacy and highly enjoyable! Thank you, Russell. Now you’ve heard the 40 min podcast, read the book! londonpublishingpartnership.co.uk/books/the-bu....

Thanks to an amazing crew of actors, director Lucy and tech Wally, I really enjoyed the reading before 150 actors and writers last night! The story of William Stead moves on…

Thank you everyone at @fairforyou.bsky.social and the Fair Credit Charity.

That thalidomide line is the coward’s answer - explicit disinterest, implicit stirring of the pot, or ‘agitating’ as we used to call it!

Thank goodness he had Melania there to show him how to manage stairs

When I was an MP (Labour) Dicky Bird came to my constituency to open a new cricket pavilion in a pretty village. At one point, clearly disconcerted, he said to me privately ‘They’re all *** Tories here, aren’t they?’

Uk will be one of several countries signing up this week leaving only a tiny minority of UN members outside. Agree it won’t have much if any immediate impact on Gaza but solidarity with the majority of Palestinians who live in occupied West Bank which must be the basis of a future Palestinian state

The big turning point is not for or against ESG, but whether we try to respond individually or understand the new imperative that only collaborative action can succeed. I look forward to delivering my keynote to next week's 'amfori' European Sustainability Summit 2025. www.amfori.org/event/amfori...
