Six Nordic paintings that can help us rethink winter

Winter isn't all bad – these "sublime" landscapes of the frozen North from the turn of the 20th Century offer us a way into resilience – and an "acceptance of the seasonality of life".

Spoke to Shleagh Fogarty yesterday sbout why the Chancellor is wrong: our “student loan” system is not remotely fair. It’s regressive and embedding inter and intra generational wealth inequality. It’s not a loan system, it’s a bad grad tax in all but name.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Please don't. Just take all the money you were going to waste on this nonsense and invest in books, literacy resources, libraries, librarians, specialist reading support assistants, and phonics training for all secondary teachers. I guarantee you a better progress return on that investment than AI.

Last year @chrischirp.bsky.social and I wrote about how RFKJr's actions were dangerous not just to USA but more broadly by restricting access and innovation and destabilising global trust. The action by Moderna shows one consequence of this

How RFK Jr is systematically undermining vaccines around the world

Vaccines saved 154 million lives. But as fear of disease fades, so does protection – raising the chilling prospect of a return to the pre-vaccine era.

UKHSA responds to the confirmation from @WHO that the UK has lost its measles elimination status.

Read more from WHO here: https://bit.ly/3YZuOFa

Dr Vanessa Saliba, Consultant Epidemiologist at UKHSA, said: 'Infections can return quickly when childhood vaccine uptake falls; elimination is only possible if all children receive two MMRV doses before school. Older children and adults who missed vaccination must be caught up. The NHS is making vaccination easier, including offering the second MMRV dose earlier at a new 18-month appointment to boost uptake and support elimination goals.'

The killings in Minneapolis didn’t come out of nowhere.

Funding, legal cover, weakened oversight, and dehumanising rhetoric ramping up over a year. This started on 20 Jan 2025 with Trump's executive orders on immigration.

The BBC News summary of Minnesota is *worse* than both-siding.

It says there are 'conflicting accounts'.

But only states *one* of them - that ICE agents fired 'defensive shots'.

Nothing about the *other* account - that ICE agents murdered him.
