When it comes to the Clacton by election I must admit I'm all "Kevin Keegan". Although it's highly unlikely, I'd love it if Farage lost, love it! youtu.be/1YSnZm40WyM?...

From @alisontakemura.bsky.social, some cheese nerds installed a heat-recovery chiller that moves heat from cow milk to the water they use to hose down tanks and udders. Milk-source heat pump (MSHP)? Milk-to-water (M2W) heat pump? Pretty cool, whatever ya call it.

Wow. Just wow.

So we lose the foreign revenue AND must subsidise more student loans, many of which will never get paid off. Xenophobia and racism are expensive drugs!

Gradually, step by painful step, the media will catch up. But it's far too late.

Fionna hits the nail squarely on the head here:

🇬🇧 inc is not installing heat pumps fast enough according to the Climate Change Committee Gas boilers are now being exchanged for gas boilers at the rate of about 1.3 mill to 1.5 mill a yr thus ensuring that we will be tied into fossil fuel for a decade ahead until that changes I have thoughts

As my grandma used to say: "If you've got nothing to hide, make sure you get lawyered up and hire a snoop"!

Arron Banks is helping us send a nice clear message - if you scrutinise the dodgy finances of Reform, you will be sued or put under surveillance. Perfectly normal behaviour from people who want to govern a democracy.

I assumed this was irony. But no, this is ultra right wing "legitimate concerns". Jeez.

New YouGov polling shows a huge majority of Labour Party supporters back an end to the capture of our media by unaccountable elites. Sign and share the Media Sovereignty Act Campaign's petition to make sure this is debated in parliament. Let's take back control from the 0.001%. shorturl.at/L38KI

#TheYearInReform Look, it's very simple. Nothing to see here. Move along. Reform UK is a party - sorry - a company built around British Patriotism and being frank with the public, and it is led by straight-talking anti-elite Nigel Farage.

I'm amazed @danneidle.bsky.social isn't chipping in to @mrjamesob.bsky.social 's phone in on a wealth tax on LBC!

1/14 A brief break from #TheHormuzCrisis. I've never really explained why the phrase "put the Navy in the Channel" to stop #SmallBoat crossings isn't, in itself, a serious maritime strategy. It sounds decisive. From a maritime perspective though, it raises far more questions than it answers.

I have a modest proposal for a new tax. It involves a deck of cards and a monkey throwing darts. Here are the rules:

A threadbare forlorn flag today in my local town This is the country that the Right Wing wants. They campaign for, advocate and illegally implement it, sometimes aggressively. What a disgrace to the country (and the monarchy, if that rocks your boat).

I wonder what the kickback was for this advert poorly masquerading as a news item on our national broadcaster? Looks like a standard, but expensive, split Aircon system.

Amid heatwaves, Europeans turn to prized Chinese air-conditioner

Juvenile gulls always strike me a bit "needy". Apparently fully grown, they just stand there, head drooped, forlornly squeaking "feed me, feed me" endlessly until their parent returns, and feeds them. You can imagine the adults saying "you're big & ugly enough to feed yourself"!

Gulls are an underrated and over-hated bird!

Great interview with Hannah Spencer on @lbc.co.uk just now about her bill for maximum temperatures at work. Having suffered this situation I fully agree. It might also need a maximum CO2 level too which often accompanies heat problems. 1/2

A good day for wind and solar energy today. Yet Putin apologists will tell you we should throw away that energy and burn 35million cubic metres of natural gas per hour instead!

Brilliant. Another open goal missed by BBC though. He kept asserting that the people of Clacton are the only people who can decide (whether Farage commited fraud or not). The simple question is "Why?". 1/2

I thought the best person to go on Laura Kuenssberg to defend me against charges of financial irregularity would be Nadhim Zahawi, who claimed £6,000 to heat his stables and hid £27m in an offshore account then threatened to sue anyone who asked about it.

If you want to understand the situation around the Straits of Homuz and the wider Middle East conflict in relation to shipping and trade, Ash is the guy to follow!

1/12 Over the past 24 hours, I think we may have crossed an important threshold in the Gulf. Not because of one dramatic event, but because several strands of the Iran-US Memorandum of Understanding now appear to be unravelling at the same time. #TheHormuzCrisis #IranUSAWar

Well that was more immediately prescient than I'd dare hope!

The type of guy he is, I'd have thought he'd flounce off before the axe falls. And then bleat about establishment elites from his old boys club in Mayfair.

Definitely not establishment! 🤣

Well done to England’s soccer ball players! I thought it was a great innings and was cheering right through to the final set, along with all the other down to earth ordinary working people which is definitely what I am too, mate.

This is why we need to give early release to paedophiles and rapists. Must be so demoralising for our Police officers.

Matthew Wright@matthew-wright.bsky.social · last mo.

This woman is obviously a terrorist. Just the sight of octogenarian Sue being helped on to her soapbox was enough to give me and possibly the whole country nightmares. Thank heavens we have a sensible Labour government locking these OAP terrorists up while setting convicted rapists free… FFS!!!

Listening to @lewisgoodall.com on @lbc.co.uk. At LAST someone is talking about our demographic time bomb. It's going to blow Reform voters minds!
