Hannah Spencer nailed it in her maiden speech, you can't have equality without solidarity. This International Women’s Day, we stand shoulder to shoulder with our trans siblings.

This is back in e-book today!! With a paperback coming next year. THE book on how comedy works was lost to the collapse of Unbound and put everything on hold for its author. We lost so much more than money. But it WILL be back. Richard Curtis and Charlie Brooker think you should buy it.

Our dependency on fossil fuels makes us vulnerable. Wars across the world are pushing up prices for households in the UK. Why keep waiting for the next crisis? We need to transition to clean power as fast as we can to protect people and our economy. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Yesterday the NHS banned all under 18 prescriptions of HRT for trans young people. This ban was justified by 10 new studies that largely stated NO EVIDENCE for under 18s HRT exists. The study underpinning this played one particular trick. Let's briefly look at how the NHS rigged the game 1/5

I'm speaking at Web Day Out on Thursday in Brighton. The line-up looks great, and tickets are still available webdayout.com You can get a 10% discount via ti.to/clearleft/we... My first talk in a couple of years 😬. It's currently running at 40 minutes but the slot is 30, so I have work to do…

When life gives you carrots make carrotaide! Making carrot and corriander soup as @ninjanails.bsky.social came to visit and gave me some carrots from her allotment

'This iceberg was once the biggest in the world. Now it has just weeks left.' 🧪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/resourc...

Just about recovered from the great time that was #SotB26. If anyone else fancies having me come deliver my talk, I’m very open to the idea.

Your regular reminder than a large majority of voters - and overwhelming majority of Labour voters - favour giving settled migrants access to the welfare state after five years or less. The Home Secretary is not reforming rules in line with public opinion. She is doing the opposite.

I've been using WebPerf Snippets in my audits for years. Scripts to measure LCP, INP, CLS, TTFB, Render Blocking... The next step: turning them into tools an AI agent can use autonomously. But there's a design decision that makes all the difference. 🧵 #WebPerf #WebPerformance #AI #DevTools #MCP

I’m about to hammer the press to get this crowdfunder out there now you legends have got it to almost £3k (local press will ignore anything below that, and national press won’t care until 40%). This should genuinely right the ship for @protect.earth. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/warleigh-n...

Net zero as a strategic imperative
