@nxwestmidlands Please tell me what I can do about a carrier bag left on the 48 (the one that left QE at 17.50 yesterday). Left on the bus about 6.20. I really need this back! What should I do/ who should I contact? Thanks!

Really great idea to make MPs take notice!

#LondonFashionWeek starts today - and we think the most fashionable thing you can do today is craft a knitted dog. Because we need a #FashionWatchdog - and we need as many MPs as possible to sit up and take notice! transform-trade.org/1000-dogs

Happy memories of a super time talking myth and education at @CamEdFac blissfully unaware that such things would soon go on hold due to covid...

Where are the grassroots women in Sri Lankan politics?
Super excited to have this podcast on a @DLProg research project out. Hosted by @PetraAlderman .
DLP@DLProg
Why are there so few women from non-elite backgrounds in Sri Lankan politics? What barriers do they face on their pathways to politics? And what can be done to support them? Check out this podcast from DLP researchers: newbooksnetwork.com/the-woman-pres… #SriLanka #WomeninPolitics

Interesting talk on fossil fuel subsidies. In spite of their wastefulness & propping up climate change, it's difficult for countries worldwide to remove them. We need a political message that *convincingly* tells everyone what they'll gain with the money saved.

Important piece on how to genuinely support local leadership - international actors are not "star players" and are there to support not manage locally led change processes.

Thank you to all who joined us today - what a great discussion (mind still blown by the insightful comments re community, colonialism and office romance -which I never expected to write in the same sentence!)! @CharlotteIre @RobinDiver22 @prof_romance @CarlyBResearch

Great to rejoin @Romance_UOB today for a discussion of Love Actually - the controversies, appeal, idea of it as a "romance for men", visual portrayal of women & the impact of romance being set within communities.

From conspiracy theories to not acting on climate emergency, why is it so hard to create change?
This @fp2p blog reports fascinating research on why we don't like changing & how to combat this.
Answer: It's all about networks, conversations & social proof:
