MPs had the chance to put humanity before politics.
To say the killing of innocent civilians in Gaza must stop. And it must stop now.
MPs who voted against @theSNP calls for an immediate ceasefire are on the wrong side of history.
This cannot continue. Humanity must prevail.
"can we perhaps focus on not messing our world up "" 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I keep being asked what I make of the UFO thing in Congress yesterday, so here it is: I watched a few clips and saw some people who seemed to believe stuff saying extraordinary things without presenting extraordinary evidence. Therefore I have nothing more to say, other than: It would be great if true - it would take a bit of the pressure off our civilisation if we weren’t the only means within the Milky Way by which the Universe understands itself. Sadly, as of today, I still feel that pressure, so can we perhaps focus on not messing our world up rather than hoping that, to paraphrase Sagan, someone will float down to save us from ourselves.

This podcast was fun and @AndrewGold_ok says he and others were convinced by what I said!
You can find the full interview on his page.
In this clip, I talk about white privilege and rich white guys flying around in their private jets. 😏

Made it to beautiful Venice for a Half Term family mini-break - no thanks to @British_Airways who cancelled our flight with less than 24hrs notice 😱 No explanation, telephone line unmanned/unanswered. Next flight offered was 3 days later (just B4 our flight home) #BritishAirways

This is a truly shocking story: strong evidence of systematic dumping of used fishing gear by Spanish and French boats in the UK's seas, and its devastating impact on marine life.
This isn't about nationalism though - we should all be horrified by it. theguardian.com/commentisfre…
