I have instructed my lawyers to take the first steps in commencing legal proceedings against @ChrisClarksonMP for a highly defamatory statement about me.
I will not stand by and have my reputation traduced.
David, Del Monte and Encela were investigating human rights violations related to reports of bombings and shelling in the area earlier this year which were connected to mining and quarrying projects that affected the residents and indigenous people. https://t.co/qfRwwV5rzz
I cannot stop watching this. It’s one of the most peculiar things I’ve ever seen, which given the venue, is really saying something. Get to the end (if you can).

We also discuss how to be a leader of a global nonprofit, what social justice means, and how to build and support a team.
I learned a lot from Sacha. I’m sure you will, too.
Let’s keep learning.
Right now, many are risking their lives in circumstances fraught with danger.
How does one face up to these risks as a changemaker?
I discuss this and more with the CEO of Amnesty International UK, Sacha Deshmukh (@sachadeshmukh@amnesty@AmnestyUK).
It’s dangerous. Being a social justice warrior, fighting to protect human rights. Sometimes, it can mean death.
Throughout human history, many have fought for the rights we are afforded: the right to free speech; the right to a fair trial; the right to our basic needs being met.
Just had coffee with Father Fadriquela, Chairperson of the Campaign for Human Rights in the Philippines. We discussed the current situation and major national issues, in preparation for my move. We also discussed music sa Pinas! I might have to bring my saxophone 🎷

More than anything else, the ongoing heated congressional debate on the confi/intel funds of the OVP/DepEd is an issue of public perception.
As I see it, the side defending the CIF allocation of OVP/DepEd & other offices that are not genuinely entitled to it is losing (1/4)
NTF-ELCAC has a lot of explaining to do, w/ the bizarre turn of events in the disappearance case of the 2 environmental activists.
Activism or dissidence is not a crime. Dealing w/ it or even w/ insurgency thru foul or criminal means is highly deplorable.

The Philippines is still 3rd highest worldwide in killings of environmental defenders. Global Witness annual report links this tragedy to president Marcos Jr's failure to act against commercial interests. https://t.co/LvMhVXkL58 #StoptheKillings
Some of the great teams out with me in Ampthill this afternoon 🌹
Great to speak to several lifelong conservative voters backing our plan to turn things around in Mid Beds, and plenty of Lib Dem and Green supporters recognising we’re the tactical choice for change this time! 🗳️
