I've been asked to publish this statement from some of the families affected by NHS England's decision in Brighton.
My lovely friend Mary Colwell has fought for a Natural History GCSE, supported by many, including Caroline.
For it to be proper natural history, we need lots of naturalists to give their opinions on the proposed framework. Please consider visiting the public consultation www.gov.uk/government/c...
We are seeking views on the proposed subject content for a new GCSE in natural history.
Good news! Ministers have finally given green light to new #NaturalHistory GCSE. We’ve campaigned so long for this! Big hats off to tireless advocate Mary Colwell 🙌 Now our young people will have a chance to get to know & love the natural world, to feel awe & wonder, & gain skills to protect it 🌷🌳🦡
Long-awaited course to examine human effects on natural world and explore everyday ways to aid biodiversity
This was a groundbreaking piece of work. A work so good it means a life well spent. Millions of people understand Iran, the diaspora and the weird bittersweet details of the immigrant experience through the work she did.

I'm not an art person so was genuinely surprised by the strength of my emotions on seeing David Hockney's Splash in the flesh. I didn't expect to be moved by it. And he put so much humour in his work. RIP.
Dear me. #TheWomensPrize
I maintain that Muppet Casablanca is a solid winner.
Kermit and Piggy as Rick and Ilse, obviously. Gonzo as Lazslo, Fozzie as Louis, Rolf as Sam. The cafe scenes are basically Muppet scenes already - tell me you can't imagine the "Vot Votch" couple as Muppets.
One of my slip on ones came off in the sea and was lost. I send apologies to all marine creatures with ingested plastic. I had to go barefoot through town back to the car park. Never had any more.
I hope this doesn't sound patronising but go and see art. The Hockney talk has reminded me again that seeing art in the flesh is a very different experience to seeing it on a screen. You understand why people cry in art galleries. It's not just the gift shop prices.
