Yep, we were due to travel to the US, had our trip booked, and cancelled everything a couple of weeks ago because of how unsafe the US has become. Instead, we came to Spain to learn the things we wanted to learn

We were due to fly to Boston tomorrow and couldn’t be more relieved that we cancelled last weekend. To say that this is all completely insane is an understatement. So glad we’re flying to Spain tomorrow instead of the US www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

If you’re looking at what’s happening in the US, seeing Musk considering making massive donations to Reform & trying to subvert our democracy, and are rightly horrified, might I recommend signing this - petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Musk joins German far right's opening rally remotely, instructs Germans to stop feeling guilty and reminds them how impressed Caesar had been with German tribes' ability to fight. Could not make this up.

Whatever your views, the Cass Review was biased and political. These are important matters that affect people’s lives, and we deserve a government who will prioritise the truth over political gain. That’s why we need a new independent evaluation of the Cass Review

The Cass Review has been discredited internationally. It’s only in the UK that the government continues to promote it as a credible report. Please sign this petition. #TransRightsAreHumanRights petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...
