Guess it's the perfect time to remind people that Pablo Picasso was one of main suspects when the Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre in 1911 www.artsy.net/article/arts...

More on dog poo: buy poo bags that have a genuine impact on reducing plastic pollution: petimpact.co.uk

Dog Poo Petition. As a dog owner I'm constantly irritated by folk leaving "compostable" poo bags around the countryside. They just contribute microplastic pollution as they break down (very slowly). Environmental claims on these are just greenwashing. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sc...

Will Still: out of his depth? Or, trying to deal with a terribly unbalanced squad? #Saintsfc

The UK Football Policing Unit (UKFPU) has some choice words… …for a PM who aggressively inserted racially-charged accusations into a local safety issue, seeking, seemingly on personal whim, to override well-informed local law & democracy mechanisms, and risking public safety.

Reform Ltd promised to cut taxes, Private Eye number crunches.....

Hybrids - they always were an excuse to keep ICE vehicles on the road. Manufacturers based emissions calculations on the assumption that 84% 0f their mileage is under electric power. The reality is starkly different: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Is this game likely to attract violence? Then we should expect the responsible local authority to take steps to mitigate that trouble based on their risk assessment, not politics.

"The problem in this country is not immigration. It's inequality." - @elliechowns.bsky.social

The whole point of human rights law is that the Government can be held to account when they breach people's rights. If the Home Secretary doesn't like it, that's why she needs to hear it.

🚨Urgent: Thames Water want permission from Ofwat to ILLEGALLY pollute rivers and seas until 2040. 🤮They want your bills to fill their pockets with gold, while they fill your rivers with sewage. ✍️Sign now. Tell Ofwat to say NO to Thames Water before Tuesday 21st October.

Who benefits from the abolition of stamp duty land tax? The first answer: people buying very expensive homes. Average saving for someone buying a £10m+ home is £1.7m. Average saving for someone buying a £250k-£500k home is £5k.

I did this once at halftime-Saints were 3-0 up against Tranmere… #Saintsfc

I’m not a Christian, but damn, I feel this guy’s anger.

Freedom of Movement was robbed from us by a successful Russian influence operation and the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history. Please repost if you want it restored.

There are far too few professional sports people willing to speak out and advocate for sustainable sport. Hector Bellerin is one: www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

This reads far better in the original German, where of course the discussion would have been about Jews, Poles, gypsies, gays, Communists and Social Democrats. Still, Miller's model for all his rhetoric and action plans is unambiguous.

I block people who say "ha, you used Wikipedia as a reference, therefore you're wrong". Bullshit. Any Wikipedia page has to cite independent, approved external sources, and scientific studies in Nature showed it to be within 0.1% as accurate as Encyclopedia Britannica. Such a lazy trope.

I used to teach at Crumpsall Lane Primary School, which is just around the corner from the Heaton Park Synagogue. Famously, we had 22 languages spoken at the school when I was there and remembered the area to be nothing but a tolerant and peace loving community.

Farage says it’s about “the boats”. A Dutch migrant’s farewell in this letter to the editor proves even legal residents aren’t safe.

The USA has lots of crazy stuff going on, but that country's ability to memorialise everything is next level. I love it when driving through Smalltown USA and the town sign says "Home of the Illinois Schools High Jump Champion, 1964" That's civic pride!

Last night was the first Saints win I've witnessed in over a year. It's been a while coming. Let's not get carried away, it wasn't fantastic. But, Wood was brilliant at CB and Stewart's 2nd was a beauty! A forward step. #saintsfc

This captures much of the frustration of today.

Just bust through 2million signatures.

“The ECHR isn’t Brussels meddling. It’s the foundation that protects you from your own government.” 👏👏👏

Digital ID: petition against is up to 1.6million. I don’t trust UK Gov to keep my data out of the hands of private companies, so I’ll say, “No thanks.” petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Probably worth posting this petition against digital ID cards. It already has over 1 million signatures: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

In total agreement. I'm in box 2. There will be a 3rd group who might be ok with the idea but will be highly suspicious that the government will award contracts to private companies such as Palantir to do the delivery.

I spent many a happy day exploring Shirley High Street as a child. My grandad had an off-licence - Smeeds I think, with a flat above. That's my Southampton link - never actually lived in the city. Sounds like Shirley has seen better days: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #saintsfc

Short 🧵. Several folks routinely do a great job updating global mean temperature comparisons between observations & different model generations, which shows their impressive skill, but I think as a public communication tool downplays the explanatory and predictive power of climate science 1/
