This, to be considered by the House of Commons this afternoon, needs to cause as much political trouble for the government as the welfare bill. Ask your MP to stand up for the right to protest.

🐟 My PhD's 2nd chapter is now published! Here I show how industrial overfishing in Ghanaian waters exacerbates inequalities in the post-harvest sector, impacting fish processing and trading livelihoods, as well as Ghanaian aquatic food systems more broadly. 🐟
