“This is hypocrisy of the highest order and demands an urgent investigation into the extent of Tory donors’ dirty links with the fossil fuel industry.”

There is some hope. It does sound as though they may continue in some other capacity according to @KermodeMovie -- let's see what happens.

Someone just dropped a rather heavy stone in my fragile stomach. Gutted to hear this but, yes, 21 years is a long time... good luck to both in their other endeavours.

What I have not seen in media or Twitter as Ukraine war unfold from people taking a moment to reflect the sheer and unimaginable amount of meltdowns and overwhelm the Ukrainian neurodiverse/divergent community is experiencing right now.

Western leaders are condemning Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine, but they themselves are deeply complicit in bloodshed across the world – we need a movement that can oppose war everywhere. https://t.co/aozCGWOno8

'The Apartment' is a truly wonderful film. Haven't seen in years -- what a pleasant way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Cheers for televising @BBCTwo

For years I've been arguing with a faction within the "anti-imperialist" left, that is neither anti-imperialist nor distinguishable in its foreign policy positions from the far right. It is pro-Putin. It recycles Kremlin propaganda and whitewashes atrocities.

What's next for climate justice? 👥

Get involved in planning how we organise on local, national and global levels in the coming years - from local hubs, trade union caucus, international networks and a national climate justice coalition of organisations.

So, we floated the bold boy out, on a raft of song, pints, stories, hugs, and happy tears.
He'd have loved his wake.
Also, just so damned happy that they printed this in the order of service.
Safe travels Colin...

The short film, launched in March 2021, is part of a series of three animations on the devastating reality of #climatechange loss and damage faced by people living in the least developed countries, focusing on Sierra Leone, Rwanda and the Solomon Islands.
