While everyone is talking about Edinburgh airport, I’ve been at Southend airport since 0830 this morning and not a single flight has left. No word from anyone what’s causing the delay or when flights might resume.
Sad to see such a poorly researched article by @YasminRufo being given such a wide platform on @BBCNews. Asking the opinion of ill-informed experts is not fact-checking. Makes you wonder how much research was actually done for the article. Sigh. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y4…
Fed up of political hypocrisy around Glastonbury
Left - you can stand against what’s happening in Gaza without supporting artists using their platform to spread hate
Right - truly believing in free speech means allowing words you disagree with (inc both Vylan AND Lucy Connell)

Climate activists are sometimes depicted as dangerous radicals.
But the truly dangerous radicals are the countries that are increasing the production of fossil fuels.
Investing in new fossil fuels infrastructure is moral and economic madness.

When refugees are fleeing war+persecution, if you close one door, another will be opened
Europe cannot just wish it’s refugee crisis away with illegal pushbacks at sea. A common sense, responsibility-sharing deal among States now surely in interest of all theguardian.com/world/2021/n…

The sirens are sounding.
Our planet is telling us something - and so are people everywhere.
We must listen — we must act — and we must choose wisely.
Choose ambition.
Choose solidarity.
Choose to safeguard our future and save humanity.

Outside Herat, Afghanistan:
Challenges huge but everything makes a difference.
Great sight to see children in school.
UNHCR contribution to local communities, former refugees & people affected by recent conflict.
Parents have just one ask: More children in school.
“The Home Office is failing refugees. I’ve seen it from the inside”
Not fit for purpose. Shocking failures for some of the most vulnerable people in society. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Getting vaccinated saves lives.
In countries with strong vaccination rates - even where #COVID19 case numbers are high - far fewer people are dying.
We can all do our part by getting vaccinated, and we must also ensure vaccine equity for all. #OnlyTogether
