Burnham to announce plans for new North Sea oil and gas drilling

Drilling has become a controversial topic for the Labour party after the 2024 manifesto pledged to not issue new licences.

House feels reasonably cool this morning. Thermometer in the baby's room reads 26 degrees, a temperature I would have considered pretty toasty booking a holiday to Spain a few years ago....

My commiserations to the Manor of Northstead. As a resident of the Chiltern Hundreds, happy to say we didn't want him.

Any Clacton residents who want to nominate your friendly neighbourhood intergalactic space warrior, ping me a line!

The history of the Galaxy has got a little muddled, for a number of reasons: partly because those who are trying to keep track of it have got a little muddled, but also because some very muddling things have been happening anyway.

A 'Number 10 of The North' is basically Andy Burnham saying he wants to WFH right???

Wanging on about '76 has reached wanging on about '66 levels in part of the UK today.

1 in 6 British Prime Ministers are alive now.

In surprise news I am very keen that both England and Scotland do fantastically in the world kicky ball thing (in a change from my usual complete indifference). This has nothing whatsoever to do with my electricity company giving me free energy every time they play at all....

Bought one of these when we first moved house 5 years ago as seemed like the future (and didn't need a hole in the wall for a big hose) constantly surprised when it uses less power than the washing machine.

THREAD: A heat-pump tumble dryer could save households more than £700 Lots of overblown reaction to govt phasing out standard dryers – reminds me of when 2009 Mail frontpage wailed about "beloved" incandescent bulbs But heat pump dryers are just a much better technology 1/5

@octopus.energy have you stopped doing free coffee for customers? Nothing showing in the app this morning (even as 'all gone'!)

Good thing we have the 'urgent action' people in charge then

Britain ‘sleepwalking into a food crisis’ without urgent action, experts say

Lovely evening seeing @robinince.bsky.social at Chesham Fringe. Didn't know what to expect and it wasn't what I didn't expect! Couldn't have wished for a nicer show for my first night of live comedy since the pandemic.

We lost Douglas Adams 25 years ago today. This has made a lot of people very sad and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Ah crap. Just finished the hair gel I bought in a pound shop 8 years ago. Bet that stuff's expensive now.

"Er, yes," Arthur would then have said. "I'm just expressing the hope that..." "Hope?" "Yes." "What is hope?" Good question, thought Arthur to himself, and retreated back to his room to think about things.

Yes, quite. It's the biggest scandal of this administration, so far, probably. It's an average Tuesday under Johnson.

OK this makes me extremely angry. Has everyone forgotten the massive profiteering from thousands of avoidable pandemic deaths?? The unconstitutional suspension of parliament to force through an act of nationalist destruction that cost our children their future??

I've discovered it's possible to use a ticklish 2 year old as an air guitar, not sure of the value of this learning to humanity but there you are.

Toddler this morning: "Why do you bleed?". Isn't 2 a bit early for an Emo phase?

Amol's bling level off the scale tonight as the usual big gold watch is joined by a second watch on the other wrist #universitychallenge

Toddler earlier as I tried to explain New Year to him "I don't want to go to 2026, I want to go home" - I sort of sympathise.

pound for pound this might be the funniest thing ever written

Getting to Net Zero is cheaper than letting the planet burn. Twice as cheap in fact. If we do nothing, climate change will cost us 15% of global GDP. Getting to Net Zero limits those costs to 7%.

Open up this picture fully. Then look at the surface of Mars. Then look up to the top right. Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky. Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos. That's Earth.
