@franceselopez - Hi Frances. I am trying to connect on email but I've been blocked. Is there any way to send you a report we've produced? Thanks! daniel.haleATcleancitiescampaign.org if you're able to send externally. Thanks!

Zelensky showing how it's done. Over to you, Prime Minister.

There's something profoundly wrong in this country if just one rich person can do this to the rest of us. Completely broken. Feudal. theguardian.com/environment/20…

@AndyFitchet I suggest these are ambitions and not goals. Name the piece you want to play and I reckon you'll get there. Or decide to book a trip to France and only speak French. Or lift xkg, or run y distance in z time. You can do it!

I am pleased to report that I know myself incredibly well and these three are my resolutions again this year…as they were in 2021…and 2020.

Having my first ever allergic reaction. What a ride! Mystery circumstances though... Really fetching shade of red.

What epic TV that was. Reminds me why I quite enjoy it!

NEW: Britain’s grim winter of strikes, falling incomes and a worsening NHS crisis is not some unfortunate series of events It’s the inevitable result of a decade of Tory austerity that steadily weakened the state’s capacity to respond to shocks enterprise-sharing.ft.com/redeem/c540270… Thread:

The Annunciation from the perspective of the Magnificat: Mary found liberation, vision, joy, courage, female solidarity. A bewildered girl became a woman full of conviction, passion, and strength, ready to change the world. That's what faith should be for all women.

@slater_bex The moment I heard it I smiled. Total rubbish but heralds Christmas. Like angels singing from on high. Plus Chris is soooooo sick felt we needed it!

@theodoraclarke So sorry to hear this Theo. Stafford people are usually so kind. More power to you. Hope motherhood is going well and the first Christmas is simply magical!

@nicwhitton Absolutely!

I’m thinking of writing a short online course on solving cryptic crosswords for beginners. Would anyone be interested in being part of a trial cohort in the new year?

@jenny_ricks @MandelaUCT Congratulations! No idea how you did that with everything going on! Amazing work. Xox

A full time job, a pandemic & a Masters degree. What could go wrong? Graduation day at University of Cape Town @MandelaUCT. 2 tough years but I made it. As someone wise told me when I was struggling with my dissertation:“it will look very different in the rear view mirror”

@wiseboy901 Banal too. I think they have also been told to only say nice things.

@danielhale Wish the commentators would stop talking at the same time.

Is anyone watching Junior Eurovision? It's the MOST PURE THING I have ever seen! And thanks for the 12 points, Ukraine!

@ClimateAdam Absolutely don't disagree. Irony is dead in the UK.

@robert_stagg @ReidProf Love this so much!
