Full moon over the Thames in London

The January moon is sometimes called the “Wolf Moon,” appearing when wolves howled near the villages in hunger or the “Old Moon” or in North America the “Snow Moon” #FullMoon #WolfMoon #SnowMoon
This moon is not fully full

The #FullMoon will peak tomorrow (17 January) at about 11.30pm UK time. #WolfMoon
Earlier, there was drama by the river when a man came rushing up to me looking for his dog

“I forgot all about him,” he said

“I can’t believe forgot all about him!”

I’d seen a sad looking old pug way down the Thames path so we went back to look for him...
QUESTION: How is it that all scientists are not mystics? Cosmologists not poets? Biologists not shamans?

How is it that those to whom the Universe reveals such wonders are not enraptured each day?

And each night, how do they close their eyes on this?

Full moon over the River Thames

It was so nice by the river yesterday that I came back after work. #FullMoon #WolfMoon

1/. In 2018, when freezing temperatures hit, we put a clothes rail outside a church with a sign:

IF YOU'RE COLD, TAKE ONE

IF YOU CAN HELP, LEAVE ONE

What happened next was miraculous

Four years on, this simple, sticky idea is still going & is spreading #TakeOneLeaveOne #TOLO
2/. If you’re feeling the cold tonight, image what’s like to be homeless, sleeping rough or struggling to heat your home

Why not drop off some warm clothes at your nearest #TakeOneLeaveOne rail or set up a #TOLO rail where you are?

On 13/3/20, @Telegraph ran this piece by Bobby Friedman:

“Anyone questioning the govt's COVID strategy is not only wrong, they're a danger to us all"

From the early days of the #COVID19 pandemic, the heat was being turned up on those journalists who were trying to do their jobs
“Forget the myths. Follow the money”

Following the money is key to good journalism

It means not being distracted by the army of “dead cats” scattered across the landscape, but focusing on the REAL motivations driving those who make decisions #THREAD👇

A growing number of parties

Scores of suspects

Hundreds of witnesses

Hours of CCTV footage

Pages of notes & visitor logs

Thousands of email chains

It is absurd to expect Sue Gray to complete this investigation into her seniors in a week

This should be a @metpoliceuk matter
This was Kit Malthouse on 6 December👇

He starts by saying no rules were broken at the No.10 party & finishes by saying he doesn’t know if there was an event

@kitmalthouse has been glued to @BorisJohnson’s side since before he was mayor of London.
An inquiry into illegal gatherings is one thing, but many of the BIG questions are still to be even asked, like:

“Which Minister authoritised sending people from hospitals to care homes without testing?”

I broke the #CareHomeScandal on 13/5/20 but am still waiting for an answer

1/. “Everything I know about morality & the obligations of men I owe to football” (Camus)

Football teaches us about team work & camaraderie, courage & fair play but most importantly it teaches us that some things are more important than winning #AFCON2021
2/. The lessons offered by football extend beyond our individual & collective behaviours

Just as FIFA sets the rules of the game on the pitch, so bodies such as the UN, set out rules on the world stage through a framework of intn'l law #AfricaCupOfNations
3/. Just as the rules of football ensure fairness on the pitch, so human rights ensure fairness around the world

Footballers should be free to express themselves on the pitch in the same way we should all be free to express our views & beliefs. #AFCON2021
