We’ve heard a lot about the unfortunate deaths in the submarine. But just days earlier, between 500-700 people sank in an overcrowded fishing trawler seeking refuge in Europe. Why was there such a discrepancy in the way governments and mass media responded to these events?

On this historic #WorldWaterDay, I have a request for leaders meeting at the UN this week:
Take #WaterAction, put the #WaterJusticeManifesto by brave water defenders at the heart of these talks.
Water is NOT a private commodity.
Water is a shared human right. Water is Life.

Sitting in a #library listening to a mum & her son collect his 1st Library Card. The staff are being brilliant & helping him pick the one he wants and I can't help thinking what a completely magic moment this is. All this is here for him. We have to make sure it always will be.

Prime Minister @ScottMorrisonMP, stop blocking climate action at #COP26! Your shortsighted support for coal is pushing the whole world towards catastrophe. The world is watching and can see exactly what you are doing!

Where is the EU at #COP26?
Climate finance is not charity, it’s justice! Your leadership is missing- All eyes on you! You must #ShowUsTheMoney
Come on Merkel, @EmmanuelMacron and @vonderleyen! The world needs you now!
