Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact. How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

The UK was better off in the EU and Europe was better off with the UK in it. All of this Trump driven chaos underlines that and you can practically hear Putin rubbing his hands in Moscow. WE have deliberately weakened ourselves, our security and our region for absolutely no good purpose at all.

Climate science is clear: global emissions must peak no later than 2025. Labour MPs scored better than Conservatives, but most still got the year wrong. Climate denial or ignorance has a profound effect on urgently-needed policy. @eastangliabylines.co.uk

New sculptures in progress. A change from waste plastic these are made from scrap and offcuts of metal, painted with leftover metal paint. Both approx 30cm at their longest point. Another coat of paint needed but I’m pleased so far #art #sculpture #artfromwaste #contemporaryart #artonbluesky.

“Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home – given he already owns other properties” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Dear media. I think controlled immigration is a good thing for our culture & our economy. I think we should be a safe place for people fleeing persecution. I think you’re enabling far right extremism to flourish & become the norm in this country? I think that’s appalling. From a UK citizen.
