When British Transport Police finally turned up they escorted Thurston away, but did not arrest him.

🧀Some (very Friday in August) polling. Does your favourite cheese affect how you vote? Reform have huge leads with fans of Stilton & Cheddar, but also people who don't eat cheese at all. Labour dominates among Feta fans. Tories best result is Brie & Greens with Camembert.

Last night I watched Mean Girls, and it made me realise quite a lot about climate justice. It's a teen comedy but it's good! It says a lot about human behaviour, consumerism, and how our sense of safety is woven with our sense of identity. Part 2 of 3: clarejfarrell.substack.com/p/is-climate...
