    So, with that, here’s my old pinned tweet :)

    Come on. Go down into the cellar and get your Musketeer’s tabard. Push the secret button on your desk and get your bsttlesuit out of retirement. We’re putting the band back together. Time to fight the climate crisis. It’s like coming home.

    I don’t hate Twitter - indeed I think it’s still super-important - but it is stressy for me now in a way it never used to be, and this is my trial run of a solution that isn’t leaving.

    And obviously I’ll take longer to answer DMs. But I will.

    It also means there’ll be fractionally less about climate change and Covid in your TL.

    There’ll be times when I’m here more often (book launches etc) but that’s my policy going forwards. It means I read more, stress less, fight less, but I get to be in touch with you all and the wider world.

    I think we need to use all our resources, skill and ingenuity to migrate from fossil fuels within a decade. Meanwhile cutting out all unnecessary use of fossil fuels (recreational, production of semi-useless goods like cheap fashion items, outsize cars, carbon intensive foods)...

    Vaccinated people are less infectious than non vaccinated people (despite sometimes having similar viral RNA levels measures by qPCR CT value).

    Did you hear vaccinated people with Delta “have just as much virus in their nose so are just as infectious as unvaccinated”? Turns out vaccinated people have significantly less culturable virus present at the same Ct count They are LESS INFECTIOUS 💥

    You’d expect some kind of propagation - a diminution of this kind of behaviour and a surge of public disapproval- but the first especially just seems totally absent.

    I should say that if anything does happen it will be because made it so. But what’s astonishing is that the ripple effect seems so limited.

    File under “blatantly not okay, nothing will happen”. Along with everything else.

    Applicants for approval are asked to say whether they have a ‘sponsor’ who is a ‘Member of Parliament or Minister’ and to name them. 🧐

    The UK has delivered zero percent of its promised doses to COVAX 0% It has procured enough doses to vaccinate all its citizens four times over 400% coverage My hunch is it will cling to these doses for boosters Couple this with the cuts in UK aid & it’s not a pretty picture

    It is a MORAL FAILURE if people in the UK get 3 doses, while people in many parts of the world haven’t even had 1.

    Poll after poll shows that the public in rich nations wants doses and IP shared! “an average of seven in 10 people across G7 countries want the government to ensure vaccine know-how is shared” 2/n

    Covid, Climate, and so much else: the key concept is not “what can I do?” but “what can we do?”
