#CIEP2021 is anyone else feeling the urge to have a dictionary open so they can make sure any Q&As have no typos for the wider editing community to see! (I know, I know - it's been made very clear we don't need to worry about such things, and we're a non-judgemental bunch, but…)

I've signed. Whiteness has got to do better at receiving criticism. It's not terrorism, extremism, cancelling or spite to say "I and others are hurt by this." @ProfSunnySingh, @monisha_rajesh, @chimenesuleyman: please know your support comes from all directions. @badformreview

Thanks @NickTriggle @BBCNews for your article bbc.co.uk/news/health-561620… Looks so important to take account of. I am a bit confused why the headline mentions only poverty while the article clearly speaks also of ethnic diversity overlapping, sometimes showing stronger inequalities.

This report was a fascinating read. The stats for how many of us manage to get our '5-a-day' tell us how much work there is to do for a healthy food future for all.
