My biggest relationship regrets are how it ended with Ramsey and Cazorla. #UTA

Ms. Rachel kicks ass. A way better celebrity than Ed Sheeran.
£72m for Reform over the weekend could be just the tip of the iceberg There's nothing to stop Elon Musk giving, via a UK X subsidiary, £300m to Restore Britain today Or a Trump ally giving £500m to Farage via a UK-registered firm There's a v narrow window to tackle big money in the elections bill
Wrote this 3 years ago over on Twitter, and it’s still exactly the same.
Not a big fan of Owen Jones but he's right this is ridiculous. Israeli lobbying in UK politics is out of control.

You’re paying 4x more for RAM because memory that hasn’t been made has already been bought with money that doesn’t exist GPUs haven’t been built. Neither have data centers. Infrastructure to power them may never exist. All to satisfy demand that doesn’t exist & generate profits that are impossible
With over 870 school streets in London, 66% of kids are now getting to school by active travel. Every day there are 73,915 fewer cars doing the school run than when we started in 2016 - that’s the equivalent of a traffic jam from London to Newcastle.
Astonishing to hear people say they'd rather asylum seekers drowned than be saved by the RNLI. Next comes letting people die in burning hostels rather than be saved by the fire brigade and letting people get kicked to death in the street rather than be saved by the Police. Don't platform this hate.
The black outfit mask guys have had years of politicians fighting each other to win their approval, with all-channels unanimity that they are justified and correct. The granny and the vicar have had a decade of incredibly hostile screaming hatred from the very top of politics and media. Thus
Any politician calling to leave the ECHR is lying about what that will achieve. It won’t solve any problem or improve our lives It will make us worse off and remove our rights. Just like Brexit. The ECHR belongs to us all. It’s not theirs to take. Please sign www.europeanmovement.co.uk/echr-petition
Act now to protect the UK's place in the ECHR
Sign the European Movement UK's petition now if you agree: Britain must remain in the ECHR

One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen, was filled with cars until a 2 year pedestrianization pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business,” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.
Oil, gas & chemical firms, data centres - A tiny number of businesses are draining enough water to meet the needs of 10 million people a day - all shielded by a web of 'commercial secrecy'. Watershed's @rachelsalvidge.bsky.social asks who's draining England's water? share.google/h5rnM2UVNCsd...

1 trillion litres of water a year, 20% of all water pumped, lost in England through leaky pipes. 41.4trn litres lost since privatisation. Money siphoned off to investors. At the current rate of investment it will take 700 years to replace water network. Grim future without public ownership.
The case for nationalisation of water companies
England’s privatised water companies are leaders of predatory practices. In 1989, the industry was privatised for £7.6bn and had no debts. It joined Chile and a few US states&...

Private equity owns 11 of England’s 20 biggest children’s care providers. Companies loaded with debt. Profiteering, high prices, profit shifting, tax abuse is rife. Paid £205m to shareholders/investors, leaving less for front line services. Public purse robbed. Must end privatisation

I am a scientist – and the answer is climate change. Yes, there is nuance. Yes, it could take a long time to identify the precise mechanisms. But there is no question why ice and snow-related disasters are on the rise. Our planet is warming at an unprecedented rate, and humans are responsible.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 2w agoIn Nepal, it will most likely take months for scientists to understand exactly what led to deadly flash floods that killed over 1,000 people and left thousands missing. Early theories posit glacier meltwater and a thawing permafrost could have contributed to bedrock collapse.
Electricity in the UK isn't expensive because of net zero. Electricity in the UK is expensive because privatised energy companies are ripping us off.
@aptshadow.bsky.social Just finished the apt series. Excellent work. Sad that it's over but it was a satisfying conclusion.
