@nadhimzahawi And if you did well and went to state schools then you succeeded despite the Conservative cutting funding by 3% per pupil over its 14 years of misrule according to Education Policy Institute. Oh and moved funding away from disadvantaged areas and pupils.

My 15 year old son and his mate marked the first day of the school holidays by walking to every football league stadium starting at 4am at Selhurst park and finishing at 8.20pm at Stamford Bridge. Why? ‘Because it’s there’ 🤷‍♀️🤣❤️@BBCLondonNews

Hurricane Beryl has devastated Caribbean islands and has impacted our partners, staff, and their communities, and the nature they are working so hard to protect. This is the reality of accelerating climate change. We need urgent global action now.

Today I want to reiterate this important message:

London is a city that celebrates our diversity and values the rich contributions that people from all backgrounds make.

It makes us the greatest city in the world, and it makes me proud to be your Mayor.

[Brendan Cox @MrBrendanCox]

Would you like to explain that to my kids?

You don’t have to choose between far right & Islamist terrorism. You can & should condemn both. They are driven by the same hatred of difference & superiority.

Our country is best when it stands together against extremism in all forms

This development could lead to the northern white rhino being saved from extinction.

The last two northern white rhinos, which are mother and daughter, are being cared for by our partners, @OlPajeta, in Kenya.

Why is the choice posed always food versus Nature? People can’t eat grass, yet we have about 125,000 hectares under golf courses. Generally don’t eat horses, but we spare about 500,000 hectares to feed them. For scale, Birmingham is about 26,000 hectares.

While we are pleased to see all fossil fuels referenced in a COP decision text for the first time, the wording does not reflect the scale and pace of change needed to correct the course to climate chaos we are on.

What we need now is urgency.
