Middle of the day and not got round to voting? I’ve spent much of my life in countries where ppl are willing to lose - or have lost - their lives for the right to vote. Democracy is always under threat. So, whichever your choice: VOTE!!!

Do you have a climate blindspot? You’ve not devoted any time, or serious time, to Zak Goldsmith’s resignation, the Climate Change Committee’s latest critique of UK climate action, the FCDO’s reneging on its climate finance targets (agreed NB by Rory Stewart as DFID minister)….

How To Speak Whale is a thrill. It begins with Tom’s kayak being breached by a humpback whale and doesn’t stop. Spectacular story-telling. I’m delighted to be talking to Tom about it for @5x15stories in October. Ticket details below 🐳🐳🐳
