First day back at work following the bruising meetings in Geneva. The temperature reached a staggering 25 degrees yesterday in London. It was a little cooler today - just 13! - but still a lovely sunny spring day for my cycle in to work.
It was great to have an email from a colleague who 'in his spare time' has last week been hitting the headlines by trying to make a citizens arrest of a Saudi general who's here at the invitation of HMG.
Boris helped give the story legs, by flustering and apologising to the Saudis because May is about to visit to sell them more arms. Which are being used to kill Yemenis in increasing numbers. Which is why my colleague is trying to bring the world's attention to it all. And why he is also waiting trial for breaking and entering a UK airbase (trying to prevent UK planes being flown to Yemen to drop bombs).
Honestly quite often I feel I am not worthy to work alongside these people. So glad that while we were stuck in unproductive meetings all week Sam has been doing the real thing.
