Are we fiddling while Australia (and Derbyshire) burns?
The good news for Australia is that temperatures have fallen and rain is forecast. I was born and brought up in Australia, so can imagine all too vividly what it is like to live through the horror of out of control bushfires. I've seen one from a distance, and even though I was safe it was frightening. Having to flee to the nearest beach in order to save yourself from burning to death is terrible to contemplate.

There are more elections than many people realise coming up in May
This year's round of local council elections are only in England and are the smallest round of that cycle of elections. Which may make you think that it's a small set of elections and one in which many or even most parts of the country will not be voting.

My last ever week in Strasbourg, probably, was dominated by Brexit, but not entirely.
The EP debated and voted on one of the unfinished parts of the Withdrawal Agreement - which is Citizens Rights. Three and a half million EU citizens live in the UK but are not being given the guarantees of Rights which were promised by Boris Johnson in the 2016 referendum. Boris gives himself the right unilaterally to abolish the UK Board which will oversee the granting of rights. We must see how this problem works out during the next two weeks. On 29th MEPs, if they are satisfied, are scheduled to vote on Brexit or not.

Children & Families
A digital world fit for the next generation
For too long, tech giants have treated children as data to be mined, using addictive algorithms and harmful content to keep them scrolling. While some are calling for blanket bans, we know these are impractical and risk isolating vulnerable groups.
