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!!!

@RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK 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)….
