London. Zambia. Infrastructure. Bikes. Not necessarily in that order.

Please help #SaveBevisMarks - the UK's oldest synagogue - and log an objection against the proposal to build a massive office tower block next to our Grade 1 listed heritage site. At risk are light, heritage, setting, privacy, and structural integrity. https://t.co/fAhZEcv2Nh

Are you a #Zambia business working with solar power? Clean, green technology for water supply? Preventing deforestation? Other business activity with a positive environmental impact? Need cheap debt for new capacity, asset finance or help you grow? Then contact @briandavidross 👇

@EnergyNet_Ltd Great news, but given UK travel restrictions are you expecting many Africans to be able to attend?

On the day of his state funeral, I reflect on an episode in the long & often complex past of 🇿🇲🇬🇧 relations that I think encapsulates what a unique person KK was. It is a story that I haven’t seen much covered in his many obituaries. But it was big news at the time. 1/

Today I addressed communities in #Chanyanya at launch of @wwfzambia's Voices for #ClimateAction.

This area is home to UK-backed #ChiansiIrrigation project which reduces farmers’ vulnerability to drought by providing year-round access to water for crops.

New @InfracoAfrica 🇬🇧 irrigation scheme in #Chiansi #Kafue supports farms & smallholder market gardens. Big jump in local incomes, crop diversification 🌾 & base for agri-process investment 💰 & jobs.

Possibly my favorite description of The Old Drift so far, from the @ClarkeAward judges: “stealth sci-fi.” https://t.co/EH8dq1y81W

@KirstyStricklan I hate it it's awful. They've been told not to point so they do that instead.

[Philippa Viljoen @philippabuckley]

@cornwallchar Nope not true, impossible - it's only a couple of months since last time you flagged this up??

[Philippa Viljoen @philippabuckley]

@BBCr4today you covered the challenges of quarantine v testing. Consider exposing the risks people are being subjected to in slow cramped 'family' border queue. LHR T2 perfect conditions for spread while officers overwhelmed checking health forms - ironic, embarrassing, upsetting

[Philippa Viljoen @philippabuckley]

@HeathrowAirport Track the time it's taking the different lines. There's no doubt in my mind that we're being exposed for substantially longer because we trusted that this was a better route for kids. You need to change the system.

[Philippa Viljoen @philippabuckley]

@HeathrowAirport you want families to go through security together and then allow the cramped line full of kids to take so long? At least 1hr at this rate? Would've been better splitting up. Extraordinary

[Philippa Viljoen @philippabuckley]

@HeathrowAirport This is honestly a scandal. You're inviting families into a line that's making kids wait longer than everyone else. We can see it's busy. What's outrageous is that families are being made to wait longest

Come on @SidneySussex, your alumni had expected that you'd lead the fight for fairness #honourtheoffer

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

Then, there's Laurie. He goes to a comprehensive school in Norfolk. He had a place @SidneySussex, Cambridge to read history.

He had an offer of a A*AA

His CAG was A*A*A

His result was AAA

Sidney Sussex have told him no, unless the appeal is successful. He has until 31st Aug.

@HenpeckedHal The other day I was halfway through singing Twinkle Twinkle before I realised I'd switched to Baa Baa at some point, so I'm feeling this tweet right now

[Philippa Viljoen @philippabuckley]

@cornwallchar Tomorrow, tomorrow [..ad infinitum]

[Philippa Viljoen @philippabuckley]

@cornwallchar Well done! I've got 2 more runs to go but keep putting them off!
