BREAKING: The BBC chairman who donates large sums of money to the Tory Party is concerned Gary Lineker might not be impartial x

The really annoying thing about Hancock's leaked Whatsapp messages is that we are only seeing what the telegraph wants us to see.

Imagine if those messages were actually in the public domain.
We'd hear the dirt on the politicians they are currently protecting.

Two Times headlines today:

“Migrants on small boats to be barred from Britain”
And
“Johnson nominates his father for knighthood”

The Tory party is so morally broken, so corrupt, so prejudiced, entitled, greedy and cruel, it simply cannot see how repulsive it’s become.

The absence of #CERN (and #ESRF and others) from the #fediverse is ... unexpected, given their early role in the establishment of the world wide web https://home.cern/science/computing/birth-web

🇪🇺 🇬🇧 Today we have reached a political agreement in principle with the UK on a new way forward on the Protocol on Ireland and Northern Ireland.

The ‘Windsor Framework’ will allow us to begin a new chapter that will work for all people and businesses in Northern Ireland, with long-lasting solutions that respond directly to their concerns and protect our respective markets.

Most importantly, it protects the peace gains of the Belfast Good Friday.

We can now build a stronger EU-UK partnership.

These two ex-leaders are at best pathological liars & at worst, corrupt criminals.
So how is it that they are still on the world stage, apparently being allowed to seek power again?
This indicates a major fault with US & UK democracy that urgently needs fixing.
How can we lecture Putin & Xi-Jinping if these charlatans represent democracy’s moral high ground?
Proven liars should be barred from seeking public office.
And politicians should serve their people, not themselves

@ChrisMayLA6 @davidallengreen and 7 is also unacceptable. Northern Ireland is the perfect over-constrained problem. (Which was obvious before Brexit, if anyone in government had cared one ι) The only solution was not to do Brexit - there was no form possible that didn’t destabilise the settlement there.

Right now, the entire country of Denmark is using 4.245MW of electricity.

Windmills are producing: 3.442 MW
Solar is producing: 746 MW

So if we do the math, wind + solar = 98.7% of our energy use right now is 100% renewable

Just a reminder that not only can we fix climate change, we are fixing it.

A very good ‘rule for life’ from Martin Samuel in The Times.

Come closer now.
Only you can hear the houses sleeping in the streets in the slow deep salt and silent black, bandaged night.”

Despite feigning outrage when P&O sacked 800 workers last year, the government just voted to water down plan to tackle P&O’s unlawful job cuts. Too little too late for seafarers, meanwhile Govt merrily attack the right to strike in another bill -obvious where their sympathies lie

Another day, another fossil fuel giant announces record profits. Firms like BP are climate criminals, polluting our planet & escaping with billions. Rather than make them pay for climate-wrecking damage, Govt has designed massive windfall tax loophole worth billions. It must stop

Email from a publisher via my website addressed to...

...my husband "Stuart" aka Wally, asking if he'd submit photos from the site for publication in a book.

OK- the site mentions us both, but my name comes FIRST on every page, including the bio page, plus the correspondent had to SCROLL PAST ME on the bio page to even discover his real name as elsewhere he's just called Wally.

All the photos are mine. https://www.arranwildwalks.com/
