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.

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. 😏 xitter.gq/AndrewGold_ok/status/1…

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…

Imagine if Omicron isn't that bad and all we end up achieving by implementing mitigations is reducing cases, taking pressure of hospitals, reducing long covid, protecting unvaccinated kids, buying time for people to be boosted and reducing the number of people dying from Covid.

Word of the day, on repeat, is ‘latibulate’ (17th century): to hide in a corner until the situation improves.

Some say that the way we eat is purely a question of personal responsibility. But as an expert quoted by @XantheClay points out, people haven't suddenly lost moral fibre over the past 20-30 years. What has changed - and hugely so - is the availability of ultra-processed food.
Ranting about Ultra Processed Fpod today in @TelegraphFood - there’s more to said about how UPF has weaselled its way into our lives, but here’s a start.
