So true. Lemon sole is *chef’s kiss*
The UK is one of the least food-self-sufficient countries in Europe.
Yet the Environment Secretary, Emma Reynolds, talks about boosting horticulture and poultry with no mention of seafood.
Once again, aquaculture is missing from the food security conversation.

Time to stop this 3 at the back bollocks.
Hard to believe the gap between winning the cup in ’94 and 2010 is the same as the gap between 2010 and now. 2010 still feels like yesterday.
Special envoy for the shield of the Americas?
Grow up.
I’m not used to us not conceding in the dying seconds.

Europe has a once in a lifetime chance to rethink how it governs its ocean. The upcoming EU Ocean Act could transform how the EU plans, manages, and monitors its waters; but only if it gets governance right. Sustainable Ocean Plans (SOPs) offer a proven framework to make this transformation real.

🌊The ocean offers some of our most powerful opportunities to tackle climate change. More countries include the ocean in their climate plans than ever before.
As of November 2025, more than 90% of the 66 coastal & island nations included at least one ocean action in their plans.

Next week I’ll be speaking at The Economist's 13th Annual 'World Ocean Summit & Expo' in Montreal on a panel titled 'Building Predictable and Secure Blue Food Systems'.
We’ll explore the future of ocean-based blue food systems.
Told my kids I hadn’t even thought of them since the 80s. Memories unlocked!
I desperately wanted one of these. Ended up with a second-hand Grifter.
But I were happy… #4yorkshiremen

My house is full of lego. I don’t have the space. I don’t want anymore.

Real or AI?
Honoured to become a Fellow of the Marine Biological Association.
The MBA has been central to advancing marine science for well over a century, and being connected to that community, particularly at a time when the ocean needs all the attention it can get, feels particularly meaningful.
Storm clouds gather as FC Noah test the waters for a move. Sources say they are expecting a flood of goals.
Hmmm. Think I’ll *not* go for the deal.
We are now as far away from Saving Private Ryan, as Saving Private Ryan is from Kelly’s Heroes.

I’ve been waiting since 1998 to cheer on Scotland again in a World Cup - but if the SFA boycotted this shit show I’d support them 100%
UK’s new National Security Assessment rightly links ecosystem collapse & food security but treats food as almost entirely land-based. It looks to tech fixes while overlooking sustainable UK seafood.
Resilience isn’t only grown on land!
