Nigel Farage is the biggest charlatan in British political history.

And here's what his constitutents in Clacton really think:

For reasons totally unrelated to the online safety act, all of my ads are now in French

UK government dangerously diluting the term "terrorist"

I just voted against proscribing Palestine Action, a civil disobedience group, as a terrorist organisation. But I'm furious that in doing so, the government forced me and others to vote against proscribing two other clearly terrorist groups. Cynical and dangerous from govt.

Notice titled "100 Years Caring for Wyre Forest" Body reads: This beautiful banner was created using fabric squares donated by many of our lovely visitors to celebrate Forestry England managing Wyre Forest for 100 Years. The squares represent what the forest means to our visitors using images, colour and textures. It was sewn together as a community project and we hope it can be enjoyed by all during 2025, the year of 100-year celebrations. To keep up to date with all our celebration events during 2025 head to our webpages or follow us on facebook @wyreforest-forestryengland. Scan to find out more: [QR code]

Took the bike for a lap around the Wyre Forest this morning 🌳🚲 plenty of wild garlic flowering!
(P.S. my mum helped sew the banner currently on display at the visitor centre, so go check it out 🙂)

With the recent bright blue skies and direct sunlight, it's been perfect for some more #infraredphotography

Trans women have always been and will always be women. Inventing legal definitions to fit a narrative won't change that.

Why is it only blast furnace vs electric arc furnace? They're for completely different stages of the steelmaking process!

Surely hydrogen direct reduction should be on the table as an actual low carbon replacement for a blast furnace? Is there something I'm missing?

yep, all of the highest quality steels I've used actually require electric furnaces (which use scrap as a feedstock) because they produce very clean (low impurity) steel, so the low quality steel argument is just false

Air pollution graphics for central Paris between 2007 and 2023.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.

Good trade.

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

I bought a filter for the 2022 eclipse, but I was thwarted by clouds. Finally had an opportunity to use it this weekend! 😎☀️
