@JonathanMBR The opinion here about an honest election wasn't hopeful. But!Mnangagwa’s presidency of Zimbabwe falls short of low bar set by Mugabe - https://on.ft.com/44HzFvb via @FT

@matthannon I admit it, I've unfollowed a politely angry climate activist. I've also not made many steps to reduce my own CO2 output. (Apart from fewer miles by car.) And yet, there's the elephant in everyone's room.So, without any external evidence at all, I'd suspect that most potential voters still feel dealing with climate change is an optional extra for government policy. Not an existential threat. And Biden got elected first, as I recall. Let's try to elect some reasonable people.1/2

Thanks again to Matthew @dracos for the searchable Covid Inquiry UK resource. It's brilliant.In other news, I've blocked a twerp about Patrick Vallance. He's already given his full diaries to the Inquiry - the only discussion is about how those entries can reasonably be used in evidence, given that he was writing, in part, to protect his own mental health. #Covid #CovidInquiry #CovidInquiryUKhttps://ukcovid19inquiry.dracos.co.uk/module-2/2023-10-16/

@TraRay It's hard work. Do you want to say more about where you are with it? Maybe we can help to cheer you through some progress points before the big finishing line.

Check out BBC iPlayer for some feel-good moments. And story management too.Last night, I saw a brilliant white neurosurgeon whose mother had worked as a toilet cleaner. I really enjoyed that. Genuinely, that's amazingly great.I'm also thinking the BBC medical programmes that I see don't, as I recall, often give space to any brilliant minority/immigrant doc to tell their family story.#NHS #BBC #CleaningToiletshttps://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002b2fj/saving-lives-in-cardiff-series-2-2-chance-to-change-a-life

Books. I'm now a new user of Bookfusion for reading, Calibre for organising (plus the Bookfusion plugin), and Hive (UK) for my first non-Kindle ebook purchase in a decade - after doing that thing of downloading all my old Amazon library before the deadline.Bookfusion syncs across devices. I'm starting with the small free version, but it's all looking good so far.Thankyou @liztai

UK immigration gets talked up as a hot issue. Personally, I dislike how the current UK govt is handling it.There's a consultation. Have you chipped in yet?Yes, it's a pain. But [SPOILER] one of the last questions is about favourable treatment for new categories. Did I propose three new categories of US refugees, including LGBTQ? Mainly, I'd suggest tackling the complicated questions with a bit of empathy for family bonds.1/2#UKpol #immigration #LGBTQ #consultation https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/earned-settlement

I'm just following the psycho-drama of that Board of Peace. The AP says this was the state of play at 5pm today.(Stories are circulating that UK and Germany have also made decisions too ... )#diplomacy #MiddlePowershttps://apnews.com/article/trump-netanyahu-gaza-board-of-peace-a4a296f736474e8c6a4edacd7109b8e5
