So, either I get a small shrub in tickets, or pay £1.40 more, or use GWR for more £. All because Trainline, when doing split tickets cannot persuade the authorities to let the few evaders go. Don't get me started on the ticket office, closed sadly, selling me the same journey for a lot less on 2 tix

Seems the difference between ‘protestors’ and ‘terrorists’ is that protestors wear balaclavas while terrorists hold placards.

This puts a number on the £36bn cost of inaction on climate change in London but these and other long term costs are currently invisible in Treasury accounting so inaction is incentivised. HMT wiring needs to change, as I argue in my book #BadGovernment www.london.gov.uk/climate-chan...

I did once get caught up in a real wild fire emergency and got an alert (it was abroad). As I was out cycling close to the Russian border, and my friend had fallen off his bike, for some reason I thought it was related to that. Think Russians following you on a bike!

It is remarkable how weeds are still green when everything else is parched.... are we missing something? Should we replace grass with weeds? Should weeds be studied for their secret? #drought #weeds

When the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.

Ultimately, once you get to know people, we all want the same things, work so we can pay for our food and accommodation and family & friends. Much mediation work centres around this: basically, we are all humans first and foremost.

Some people say that we can't afford to address climate change, it wouldn't be good for the economy. Do they think that schools, businesses, shops closing early or not opening for several days at a time is good for the economy? We can't afford NOT to address climate change!
