The indomitable Miriam Margolyes OBE has a message in support of the Jewish Council! She calls for all of us Jews to “shout, beg, scream for a ceasefire”
A lot to unpack from the new coalition government — one I can’t get my head around is putting smokefree 2025 in the trash can.
Consecutive governments, of all colours, have done outstanding work in this space. We had been considered world leading… Gutted.
So we had this leader in NZ. She protected us, cared deeply, was progressive and represented the future.

The TMO is an absolute disease on this sport. This is a disgrace. Biggest game in the world. Both captains marched. A yellow , 2 reds, and a disallowed try. We have spent the morning watching technology and TMO’s. It’s been an awful spectacle. #RSAvsNZL

A mate is on holiday in Wales and just text me this photo from the caravan next to hers…
If this is you, put the green pen down and open a beer. The books will wait.
I am so sad about what’s happening in Israel and Palestine. I know very little about the very nuanced conflict, so haven’t posted about it. Last night, however, I saw that Auckland Museum had taken a stance that I believe such an institution has no place to take.
