I 'm shocked I tell ya
Actually, like Tricky Dicky, I'm lying.

Is it possible to have a negative EQ?
Were they the support for Flock of Seagulls?
That’s the point — if we are aware of the scenarios and we are ready to mock and block, these stunts can be deterred or turned against Trump. One of them just failed hard in Hungary — because people were ready!
Braverman doesn't think people are dumb. She is just unhinged in a Liz Truss styley.
They aren't really the Green Party any more.
Well then, he can get in the sea.
I didn’t know this, did you? Amazing!
It’s not that hard, really. Stop chasing the Reform voters by being nastier and nastier to immigrants is the starting point.
The Good Friday Agreement was a triumph of peace and hope over violence and division…
And then came #Brexit.
The foundations set out in the GFA began to crack
In this film, the people of Belfast see Brexit as an act of dragging an unwilling NI out of the EU.

“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”
There's something just so brilliant about coal mines being directly replaced with solar farms

Which other rumours?
Looks ominous for Moore and Humphreys.
I wondered whether some of that ilk would side with Kanye because he is anti-Israel but thought 'surely not!' I really can't believe she went there.
The fascism discussion came across as Dominic Sandbrook dismissing facts that don't fit his narrative. Does it matter what Trump's motivation is? It's his actions and utterances that we have to judge him against. And they tick all the boxes.
I feel much more anger towards the British pundits & politicians who failed to understand the depravity & derangement of Donald Trump than I do the ones who failed to understand the idiocy of Brexit. But it doesn’t really matter because they’re exactly the same bloody people.
When I watch Evenepoel go up a steep climb with the very best, you realise just how unbelievably aerodynamic he is.
Have certainly done that part of it brilliantly so far.

Clean energy and electric tech are becoming the obvious choice for Britain: not just because it's the right thing for the planet. Because it makes financial sense, and the product is simply better. 🧵 (3/4)
As the Middle East conflict continues to shake the world - people are asking us about solar, heat pumps and electric cars in record numbers. Solar sales up 54%. Heat pumps up 51%. EV leasing up 36%. Battery installations nearly doubled. 🧵 (2/4)
I have always been repulsed by him. He is the sort of person who I would actively avoid. How anyone can support him is beyond me.
WTAF?
Cutting VAT on electricity and reducing levies on electricity would help all households with their 'energy' bills while also encouraging electrification / demand destruction of oil, petrol, gas, etc...I really hope that is what he means.
I'm going to hazard a guess that the orange-utan has never heard of Thermopylae or Xerxes.
This is the way. Call him out for the idiot he is. All day, every day.
🧵The Covid Inquiry’s latest reports have made one thing brutally clear: the first year of the pandemic - and especially the second Covid wave in winter 2020/21 - was devastating.
Much of that devastation was avoidable.
This 🧵: impact on NHS, impact on bereaved, and avoidable harm. 1/19
This is a powerful document and the argument a no-brainer if we want good urban journeys and good urban spaces - and if we want to take our responsibilities to children seriously.
As well as practitioners, urban, children’s and transport geographers could all learn a lot.
I only mean on the narrow issue of Iran. His critique of where Labour is making a total arse of it (eg immigration, fuel allowance, disability benefits) would be much stronger if he acknowledged when Starmer has done alright.
