Government urged to include WHO air quality limits in Environment Bill independent.co.uk/environment/en… I can’t find enough words to stress how important these guidelines are. Unless we clean up the air sadly people will continue to die in their thousands. The invisible killer amongst us.

Is it any wonder, that black people in the UK are 10 times more likely to suffer mental health issues and 4 times more likely to be sectioned under the Mental health Act, when you are told that your lived experience is in fact, a myth?

Thank you @aarashsaleh. It was great to be involved in the Climate Acceptance Studios webinar and to hear a medic’s perspective. You see the impact of air pollution on the most vulnerable every day at work. Ps. Glad my hair flicking didn’t put you off your stride!

P.s it was also great to see my old colleague Shazia Yamin again and to hear about the ground breaking work holding polluting companies to account #airpollution

Brilliant tour de force by Feargal, in 5 mins summing up what is frighteningly wrong with the water industries and the toothless government and regulatory response. Contaminated drinking water could be next.

My amazing lawyer Jocelyn Cockburn came to support me at my event at the #pipefactory as part of @COP26fringe on Sunday. We haven’t seen each for 20 whole months. I was so happy to see her. Artwork of London maps: by Sarah Stirk. Paintings of Ella Roberta: by Gina Allan

Saying goodbye to Jocelyn in Glasgow. The filthy air in London had already separated us before the deadly covid. We press on trying to use the law so that the Right to Clean Air is recognised. Having my new role at WHO will help to champion children’s rights to breathe Clean Air
