4. Putin has achieved in one week the exact opposite of what he wanted: i.e. the Europeanisation of Ukraine, revitalisation of the Transatlantic relationship, the rejuvenation of Nato, unity of the EU and a radical shift in support for Nato membership in Finland and Sweden.

W Covid cases in London now decreasing + UK slowing - it is great to see no real change in Covid deaths over last month. The health crisis is in danger of being driven by staff problems due to over- cautious isolation rules. Lets reduce this to 5 days!

The UK has dug up many of its orchards and now imports 70% of its apples, often from across the world. Planting more apple trees in our gardens and communities would cut food miles, soak up CO2, help wildlife, and can help save traditional apple varieties. Every tree counts! 🍎

A person in Ghana consumes, on average, less energy per year than a refrigerator. A person in Ethiopia obly 1/5 as much.
It is morally wrong and practically ineffective to try to address the climate crisis by denying the poorest more access to energy

Germany: closes own nuclear power plants, and imports nuclear from France instead 🤦🏾

Nuclear waste is well stored, well managed and has never harmed anyone.
But let’s not forget about all that fossil fuel waste that we are storing *directly in our planet’s atmosphere*

We marched. We chanted. We listened, talked, debated and changed minds. Thanks for having us, @COP26.
