Always a combination of excitement and apprehension waiting for a book to come out... routledge.com/Contesting-Pub… #publicspace #urbanredevelopment #london @RoutLandscape

As of 31 December 2025, MSF is still awaiting renewal of its registration to operate in Gaza and the West Bank under new Israeli requirements, including staff lists. The Palestinian health system is decimated, essential infrastructure is destroyed, and people struggle to meet basic needs. People need more services, not less. If MSF and other INGOs lose access, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians would be cut off from essential care. We currently support one in five hospital beds and the delivery of one in three births in Gaza. In 2025 alone, we provided nearly 800,000 outpatient consultations, treated over 100,000 trauma cases, performed 22,700 surgeries, assisted more than 10,000 births, and distributed nearly 700 million litres of water.

There is so much wrong with this: “Universities in the UK reassured arms companies they would monitor students’ chat groups and social media accounts…” theguardian.com/education/2025…

@DavidsonMagnus Thanks for sharing!

This history is well covered in Professor Jim Hunter’s Last of the Free: A Millennial History of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland

Interesting that this only starts in 1707 and doesn’t deal with the independent Scottish state’s, imperial and state building approach to the region that was continued post-unification.

We deplore racist attacks at home for the same reason we deplore genocide abroad: we believe in the equal value of human life. My response to calls for the cancellation of peaceful protests for Palestine.

Pls @RachelReevesMP, not “trickle-down” 😱 Read @RBReich “It is hard to overstate how damaging trickle-down economics has been for the American economy. It has eviscerated our tax code and empowered a class of oligarchs that dominate our political system.” theguardian.com/business/2025/…

A question: does anyone know of any UK buildings or architecture firms that use bird-friendly glass?
