2/ "We're price taker and not a price maker" "There is one lesson from this crisis, and only one lesson" "We need homegrown clean power that we can control" "We cannot keep being on this fossil fuel roller coaster" Thank you for the clear explanation @Ed_Miliband" x.com/implausibleb...

Cheers to everyone who delayed fossil fuel phaseout by saying "you can't switch off fossil fuels overnight" Because thanks to them everyone now has to face a situation where fossil fuels are switched off overnight 🙃🙃🙃

Thank you Emmanuel Macron for organising a call with G7 partners to discuss a coordinated response to the concerning situation in Iran and the Middle East. We are focused on minimising the impact on security and the global energy market.

So, I openly disclaim anything that might be posted on it.

Last week Trump said he didn't need Britain's help because he'd already won this war. So we mustn't let him push the UK around now. Any decision on the deployment of our Armed Forces should be made in the UK's national interest and subject to a vote in Parliament.

Days after declaring total victory and boasting that no other military could match the US, Trump is now begging other countries — including China — to send warships to stop his Iran war from spiraling into catastrophe. A galactic humiliation.

My annual March 14 suggestion to move π Day to July 22 since 22/7 is closer to π than is 3.14.

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is. People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always ❤️

If we could just raise sea levels by 150 meters we get a backup Strait of Hormuz

With every passing day, the decision of Starmer and his cabinet a) not to join the Iranian war b) to delay access to bases looks wiser and wiser. Trump’s press conference last night shows he has no real idea what the objectives are and its duration is arbitrary.

Massive humiliation for Farage, who tipped off the UK press that he was flying to Florida to have dinner with Trump... only for Trump to decide he had more interesting things to do when Nigel arrived.

Ten years ago today. This picture is a very painful memory. She was desperately ill & we waited for a bed. She knew the significance of it & put on her best party dress. Strong like her lion, we said. Now thanks to Kaftrio she is living an essentially normal ish life #cysticfibrosis #kaftrio

Given Trump's illegal war that is devastating the Middle East and pushing up energy bills, Keir Starmer should advise the King to call off April’s state visit to the US. A state visit should not be given to someone who repeatedly insults and damages our country.

Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage want Britain to blindly follow Trump into this illegal war, even though the President has no plan for what comes next. There is nothing patriotic about outsourcing Britain’s foreign policy to Donald Trump.

History lesson. Our once great ally didn't come to our aid until 1917. Our once great ally didn't come to our aid again until 1941.

Hey I did a fun thing with @warren.senate.gov about breaking up giant healthcare conglomerates

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

A cartoon reminder that tomorrow is World Book Day (In the UK anyway). Originally for the @theguardian.com

Japanese artist Masayo Fukuda hand-cut this life-sized octopus from one sheet of paper. Known as Kirie in Japanese (translated as “cut picture”), the art form involves cutting intricate forms from a single sheet of white paper and then contrasting it against a black background to reveal the design.

At this week’s Prime Minister's Questions, Kemi Badenoch claimed Type 45 destroyers “cannot take out incoming missiles”. In fact, they can. The Ministry of Defence says their primary role is air defence, including against missiles.

Greens now have 5 MPs. Reform has 8 - but four of those are Tory defections who were not elected on a REF ticket.. Bet Jenrick and Braverman are feeling a little sick this morning.

Proof that pressure from members works! Keep telling your professional bodies that they should not be engaging with the cesspool anymore. Well done to @thebcs.bsky.social, about time 😉 Go follow them on here. And I’ll see UK cardio friends at the BCS conference this summer! #cardiosky

I really appreciate this TikToker with Tourette syndrome, Shay, for taking the time to educate so many of us (including me) about her disability and coprolalia in light of what happened at the BAFTAs with John Davidson when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage. I learned a lot.

Reform want to bring Trump’s thugs onto our own streets. They must be stopped. Only a vote for the Greens in Gorton and Denton on Thursday can stop them. Hope will defeat hate. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.

Great thread, and: CRM is a 50-year-old aviation safety discipline created because experts identified hierarchical cockpit culture — dominated by arrogant, know-it-all men, usually older, from the airline's majority nationality/ies — as a major contributing factor to crashes and other incidents.
