Feargal Sharkey, "Water companies... The fines don't work, it's time we actually started upholding the law, and sending some of these executives and directors to jail"

Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "You think we should put them in jail?"

Feargal Sharkey, "If we put one water company boss in jail for six weeks the whole industry would transform itself"

“it’s to this huge choir’s credit – as it is to Morgan’s – that the delicate vulnerability in Elgar’s vision was almost as impressive as its bombast’

Carole Cadwalladr, "My ongoing frustration with Nigel Farage he is seen as this English figure, wears tweed, goes to the pub, we see him through this lens"

"He has received almost no journalistic scrutiny throughout his entire career till very recently"

"He's not that cuddle cosy golf club English pub figure"

"He is in a relationship with the US far right and with the European pro-Kremlin far right"

"What happened in Brexit, we saw that money that force that influence, those networks coming together"

"It was the first real political campaign in the UK run through these online platforms"

"They ran a mock, blasted through electoral law, data law, and we're living with the consequences of that"

"Our constitution changes, the shape of Europe changed, our national security changed"

"And here is Nigel Farage in this pole position now, to potentially take power and we're not understanding the consequences of that"

"If you look at what Trump is doing in the US, the way he had a plan of what to do in office"

"Farage is now working with the same people"

"There is going to be an all out assault in the same way on the rule of law and our institutions"

Zack Polanski, "It's already happening"

Carole Cadwalladr, "The stakes of that are unfelt by most people, it's an abstract"

"We have to see what is happening in America and learn those lessons"

Mariam Dagga, killed by Israel today, was an incredibly talented photographer. She relentlessly and courageously documented the genocide. I'm going to share some of her images. Graphic content included.

The world feels a whole lot more terrifying this morning - especially for any hope of climate action. Right now I feel sick. But I also know we have choices on how to respond - and will try even harder to light candles rather than curse the darkness 🕯️

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

Things have just got a lot more difficult . Here’s what I think . I had no control over what just happened . None . But I do have control over how I will react to it . And I am not going to give up on the beautiful and the good , the grip on my dreams just got tighter .
