I describe myself as too old to climb trees or chain myself to railings, but old enough to change my mind and do it anyway. I want to live in a fair and decent world. I value the contribution immigrants have made to Britain. Live and let live.

“UK food inflation drops to 3.2% after food prices fall” is a headline I’ve read today. All it means is food prices in general are going up less fast. The hungry and poor are still hungry and poor.

Here we go again. Trump has told the UK that if we want a UK-US tech deal, we need to buy chlorinated chicken from the US! 🤢🐔 How dare he try and impose poor food standards in Britain. Sign the petition to keep chlorine-washed chicken off our shelves:

The former chief executive of Wessex Water received a £170,000 bonus last year despite a ban on performance-related pay after criminal pollution failures on his watch. Just goes to show, there is very little justice and even less truth in political promises.

The only real peace process underway right now is being carried out by the Ukrainian Armed Forces — through deep strikes against russia's war machine, military airfields, oil refineries etc.

Those of us who campaigned for Alaa Abd El-Fattah’s protection and release as a British citizen plainly were not aware of his grotesque tweets, and at no point had anyone raised them with me until yesterday. I trusted the process to give Alaa citizenship, and then supported the campaign for his release. I feel deeply let down, and frankly betrayed, having lent my support to his cause which I now regret.

A few weeks ago, a stranger turned up and started photographing sensitive Swedish telecoms masts. But - the employees were alert, and the man was arrested. A lesson for other companies, because attacks against our companies will continue, I write in @politico.eu. No paywall.

COMMENTARY: In these geopolitically turbulent times, we can’t know exactly what kind of subversive activities will be directed against our societies. But companies can teach their employees what to look for, because spotting incidents is everyone’s responsibility.
