Too many women with endometriosis face years of pain and delay before diagnosis. I support the call for a National Endometriosis Registry to improve care and reduce postcode inequality. Women deserve better. I spoke to The Bolton News about this www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/2547126...

I have mutual friends with Alaa and have been lucky enough to see this campaign unfold. The arc of history is long but it bends towards justice

Like lots and lots of people, I will be personally really negatively affected if Indefinite Leave to Remain is scrapped and may have to consider moving to another country

This article is more optimistic than the headline suggests. I think it is actually about the West's decision to hand the future economy to China and the East. The speed of the energy transition in China is good for the world and, geopolitically, bad for the West as it inexplicably relegates itself

I find the Twitter vs. Bluesky thing very boring but as it's come up again I will share my one opinion: not-far-right people who have remained on Twitter and are critical of bluesky are obviously trying to assuage their own guilt about using a far right platform

Failing to address climate change is very expensive.

Climate change creates exceptionally dry weather, which means the food we live can't grow, which means this:

[me, a journalist who spends all day every day on a social media app where the discovery algorithm is personally controlled by its owner, captain birdseye] you know, a lot of people are talking about fish fingers, we should probably cover that

They're excellent at making history accessible and the chemistry between them makes it a nice, easy listen. Their 6 hour episode on the Titanic was superb. I do have to avoid the British colonialism episodes though. Someone with my surname does not enjoy hearing "Cromwell was 'robust' in Ireland."

London is one of the best cities in the world and it's extremely obvious that one of the main reasons for that is immigration

the amount of Chinese investment in green tech around the developing world is simply mind boggling www.netzeropolicylab.com/china-green-...

It is very interesting to me how something can be commonly known for years, decades even, and then one day it becomes a scandal. I find that a very odd aspect of the UK public sphere - is it the same in other countries?

This is argued in Andrew Rawnsley's book about New Labour, The End of the Party. Rawnsley says Blair spent a lot of time with people like Bill Gates and Bono and started feeling hard done by that he wasn't as wealthy - and it was this mentality which led to him staying in Berlusconi's holiday home

Caught Stealing is a great film with the simple message that cats are sensational

I'm surprised the anti-corruption protests in Nepal aren't higher up the news agenda. Here's what protesters did to the 5* Hilton hotel in Kathmandu

"My school saves thousands of pounds every year from those solar panels." The TUC directly takes on Reform, a party funded by the fossil fuel Industry. Posted on IG by tradesunioncongress

Our economies need energy to run. Wind and solar are cheap, abundant sources of energy. They will never run out. They are almost miracles. Whichever country dominates in turbines and solar PV will become the most economically important. Right now, that's China.

Really important polling today from Climate Outreach and More in Common showing that despite all the noises off there is still robust public support for climate action. www.businessgreen.com/news/4518762...

This is an egregious insult to the families of Aberfan.

Update: finally had a proper chat with my Chinese neighbours last night. I told them my favourite dish in the world is Xi'an biang biang noodles. My neighbour immediately says "come over to our house and I will make them for you." You don't need to tell me twice. Immigration rules

The Studio, Seth Rogan's comedy series on Apple TV, is superb. Most episodes are funny and well put together; others are superlative

Men would rather read Lee Child on the tube than go to therapy

This is also the same with climate change by the way. Public concern about it goes up when it gets more coverage (ht @steveakehurst.bsky.social). Journalists have a moral and civic duty to cover the climate crisis extensively

What has happened to Graham Linehan over the past decade is really extraordinary and disturbing. The media should stop giving him a platform primarily because of how he's used it. But also because there is something grotesque about publicly chronicling someone's descent into whatever this is.

Net Zero: saving our world and saving money. Now there's a win-win - if only voters knew about it. "New modelling from BloombergNEF suggests investing just 0.7 per cent of GDP in the net zero transition could unlock huge financial savings - and avert a rolling climate crisis."

"Luxury disgusts me" - RIP Giorgio Armani. I have never seen a well-dressed man who, whether he knew it or not, was not influenced by you in some way

Gonna say this til I'm blue in the face: wind and solar are inherently cheap forms of energy, but we are not benefitting from that because the energy market isn't working www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Pretty remarkable figures from the oil and gas industry. If it got everything it wanted on new licenses and ending the windfall tax it would still only expect to meet around half of UK oil and gas demand - demand that is projected to fall. www.businessgreen.com/news-analysi...

THANK YOU. Child rearing (and women having to find a husband, let's be honest) is now voluntary not compulsory. As such, it is happening less. I don't think it is much more complicated than that

My opinion on bluesky is that people are much less weird and pedantic than Twitter used to be, but my tolerance for that kind of thing is now really low after having had it so badly on Twitter and then starting from scratch here and having none of it.

I think this is probably the most effective response by any public figures to the whole flag issue I've seen so far: normal, relatable, but also saying something of substance. I've tested sentiments similar to this and they work

I live in one of the most multicultural areas of the UK and there is rarely a day where I'm not positively impacted by that - whether it's delicious food, really good local businesses or my incredibly kind neighbours. I'm not saying this as a political statement, more just a reality of my life.

This hullaballoo about the St George's Cross makes me feel extremely Welsh

I am once again saying that clean energy is inherently cheap, and the reason we don't benefit from that is because the energy market doesn't let us. Great stuff here from my colleague @chrisgalpin.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...
