We're in the middle of qualitative research to explore the public's experiences of life under lockdown - here are some early findings:

A number of Ukraine MPs, led by Lesia Vasylenko, are calling on us to switch off festive lights at 8pm on the shortest day of year, 21 Dec, to show solidarity with the Ukrainians as they suffer constant attack, power cuts and terrible privations. A good idea. #hourforukraine
