Excellent research from the #FairerStart mission @nesta_uk on toddler tech.
Parents are raising their children in the era of the smartphone📱 Could apps support child development, or should we be wary of toddler tech?

One of the unexpected repercussions of awful events of last days is to make us look with even greater acuity at our European (inc UK) leaders... the stark contrast between so many of them and the integrity, strength & bravery of Zelensky should shame all of us. #StandWithUkraine
Acutely intelligent, sensitive to Russia as much as to Ukraine, clear about the horror of war - quietly immensely courageous - @zelenskyyUa is an extraordinary man. This is one of the most remarkable speeches ever made - in dignified contrast to Putin’s hysterical megalomania.

Loved working on #HOMEZero for @NationalGallery before I left and so excited to see how @LoveSsega and @imaginarymakers use art and creativity to inspire people to decarbonise their homes. #
To tackle climate catastrophe we need to help people feel positive change is possible. Through #HOMEZero, @LoveSsega and @imaginarymakers will be making art to inspire activism and even create excitement about what can be done. Can’t wait to see their work

Tune in to BBC Two for the Carols from King’s service at 6.15pm. A poem of mine ‘Look at the Revival’ will be read out! The poem was originally commissioned by @NationalGallery as part of their #SensingtheUnseen immersive exhibition. Many thanks to @ArtsEMC
