@CLEANAirAfrica@LivUniIPH Incredible trip - I learned so much. Great research starts with great people. Thank you to everyone at @KEMRI_Kenya and @CLEANAirAfrica for hosting me. Look forward to our future work!
Dr Sep Saleh from @LivUniIPH has just returned after a very productive visit to #Kenya, meeting with #schoolstudents and staff, community health workers, and community members about #airpollution and the work of the @CLEANAirAfrica Unit, in preparation for future research.
@GMB think you missed this critical detail in your one-sided chat about the protests this morning. A quick, honest chat about the role of firms like this in driving the climate crisis would’ve been preferable to the childish grumbling session that was broadcast. Do better please.
What most of the media won’t tell you about the Just Stop Oil action at the Chelsea Flower show was a) it wasn’t paint, it was dyed corn starch, and b) the garden was sponsored by subsidiary of one of the largest investors of fossil fuels in the world

@SLissauer says it very well. Horrifyingly awful stories and events. These terrible deaths were about poverty, inequity & climate change. How does Malawi even start to rebuild/recover? What will it take for the rest of the world to take climate justice seriously?
The growth of millionaires between now and 2050 is projected to devour 72% of the remaining carbon budget for 1.5 degrees. This represents an extraordinary assault by the rich on humanity and the living world. New research here: https://t.co/XYpYr9Oadr
You know there is something desperately wrong with how our economy works when a single company can generate this level of profit from an essential good that we all rely on whilst millions are hammered by spiralling bills. https://t.co/LDNfA96CEQ
Today 100,000s of workers are striking for fair pay.
When Tory Ministers claim that public sector pay increases in line with inflation are unaffordable, that is a lie.
A Wealth Tax of 1.5% only on wealth over £5m would raise £16 Billion. That could easily fund it.
@JMArchaeologist@krishgm Surely part of this has to be in analysing links between politicians advocating for privatisation and the firms who stand to benefit from it - often revealing.. https://t.co/2CeSJRBGlQ
Pressures on the NHS are scary
But this doesn’t mean bad ideas about ‘radical’ NHS reform—eg switching funding models—are now good ones
(They’re still bad)
The NHS’s problems are plain to see and the fixes are mostly unglamorous
