    I was asked a surprising question today by a passenger in a passing vehicle: "We're selling piglets. Do you need any?"

    OMG it’s Friday already! Now what’s happening at ? For the dazed and confused here’s a thread which I hope might help explain the issues on this last day of the conference (except it won’t be - it’s obvious now this will go into Saturday). 🧵 /1

    100% this. The Government is essentially planning to do something straight from the Polish or Hungarian playbook. And there go all your ridiculously confident comments that "this would never happen here," because Britain is oh so much better.

    Corruption experts warn Tory move against standards watchdog is "behaviour consistent with state capture, which we see around the world from several governments who are deliberately moving away from democracy by undermining the checks and balances on power"

    Very sad today to learn that John Ruggie has died. Hard to squeeze into a tweet. He helped me feel welcome in his professional world, was generous with his insights and enabling in his approach, unwaveringly dedicated, and out of polarisation achieved so much with the UNGPs. RIP

    Poland not added to the green list suggests the UK government doesn't trust the numbers? Pls come clean . Very low levels of compliance for masks/social distancing etc + massive vaccine scepticism in parts of PL. But are PL's covid death stats unreliable too?

    Peak Polish moment at hard-to-get-into museum. She: "We have to keep the front door shut because otherwise there's a draught". Me: "Hmm. I thought we need more draughts because of Covid". She: "If we spent 8 hours a day sitting in a draught we'd soon end up at the doctor's"
