@TLRailUK Trying to board 15.49 train to St Pancras at Haywards Heath just now, driver closed doors 15 seconds after opening them, leaving me on the platform with my luggage. 'It's running late", the station attendant said refusing to let me board. "No kidding" I replied.

@TheNewsAgents - I love the podcast but your Tuesday edition on refugees mangled. You mixed the 1951 UN Refugee Convention, UNHCR and the 1950 European Convention on Human Rights badly and misleadingly. Humantarian law is not human rights law.

[John Morrison @Jomo1966]

You state that the 1951 Refugee Convention has been updated many times, not true other than in 1967. It is the 1950 European Human Rights Convention you mean. Mixing the two plays very much into the hands of those wanting to confuse and dissemble. Can you redo the podcast?

[John Morrison @Jomo1966]

OK, I admit she has triggered me this time. What do you think they meant in 1951 when setting out a "well-founded fear of persecution"?

Wow! Wow! Wow!

North Atlantic sea surface temperature anomalies are going vertical again. And yes, I needed to extend the y-axis.

Yesterday's temperature of 24.49°C (76.08°F) was 4.2σ above the 1991-2020 mean. The previous high for July 17 was 23.71°C (74.68°F) in 2020.

Having just returned from Australia, where their #ModernSlavery Act is already being enhanced, not sure we can any longer call the UK's legislation 'world beating', particularly if we are moving away from protecting victims and survivors. @theresa_may @timloughton #Newsnight
