If MPs have signed this (especially the first 6) then they’ve answered the “what are you doing about it?” question. They’re in the room where action is possible and they’re taking it. Support them. On here. In real life. Show them that this matters because abuse from the transphobes will be awful.

The government has agreed to accept the recommendation of its advisers, the Climate Change Committee (CCC), and committed itself to a legally binding target to cut carbon emissions by 87% (based on 1990 levels) by 2040 MPs are expected to vote on the proposal, which was laid before Parliament today

Please Labour, get some bloody comms going on this. If you won’t tell the story, it won’t stick because you won’t bring anyone with you aside from us bleeding heart tree huggers. Do better.

Got made redundant this morning. Had a second interview for a new role this afternoon. My timing has always been impeccable! #FingersCrossed

Man, the amount of AI slop on LinkedIn is worse then any other platform. Atrocious.

Look, plantar fascitis sucks but I think this guy has bigger issues going on

Lovely weekend, cold cider in the garden, enjoying the log store looking jolly

I can honestly say that as someone with ADHD, setting up a first time business Microsoft 365 account is the single worst user experience ever. I’ve been going at it for over an hour and it still isn’t recognising email and passwords. AAAAAARGH!!!!

Hunting the Earl of Rone was great as ever. Will be back next year.

We are away in Devon, at Combe Martin for the annual Hunting of the Earl of Rone. Sort of like Padstow ‘Obby ‘Oss festival but blended in with a 17th century historical military reenactment. Has to be seen to be believed!

St Pirans bird alert!

So they will pivot left then, yeah? Yes? Hello?

50 years of knowing you and though all of it great love and respect. I hope you’re feeling the love today @janewiedlin.bsky.social Happy #Birthday…. Here’s to another trip around the sun 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂💕💕💕💕💕💕🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂photo by @hardandfastbook Melanie Nissen

My wife got in last night at midnight, after attending a hen do from noon. We are now up again as she is running the Plymouth half marathon this morning! She’s a complete nutter, and I love her dearly.

Think it’s time for the annual watch of Midsommar. Between Mayday and the Hunting of the Earl of Rone seems appropriate. #FolkHorror

Keir Starmer's political failure comes down to one issue above all others: his unwillingness to put the public interest ahead of the demands of the oligarchs, corporations and foreign governments who lobby him. Whoever replaces him had better be prepared to stand up for us, or Labour's finished.

Good evening! #Splann

Nice evening walk around Trevose Head

The ship will go down with the captain Dont you mean the captain will go down with the ship No

“Nigel Farage should be privately worried. In last year’s local elections Reform won 41 per cent of all seats contested across England. On the basis of the overnight figures, this year’s tally is around 33 per cent” Peter Kellner

Find the coverage of the Lib Dems weird. Going 'it's all block politics now' 'Labour are struggling with both the right, and keeping their block together' & 'the LDs aren't making progress, they're just being rock solid in the South/SW London'. Ok, so you're saying they are doing what Labour can't?

Pretty disgusted at how yet again all media and commentary this morning completely refuses to mention the Lib Dem’s.

Never underestimate the capacity of the English to be complete dicks.

Timely reminder.

Timely reminder.

A lovely Mayday in Padstow, before all the torrential rain of the bank holiday weekend. As usual completely overdid it on May 2nd. Am I groaning on the sofa with GI issues and feeling sick as a pike? Why, yes - yes I am. Can’t drink like I used to, at my age…

'Farage has pulled out of Kuenssberg' is a mental image I don't think any of us needed.

AI can be good. It is supposed to assist, not replace, humans. So Augmented Intellect rather than Artificial Intelligence. It's not intelligent, for a start. Garbage in, garbage out still applies, just as it did in the 1980s.

Tomorrow is the Saturday Before Mayday™, so you know what that means. Garden is ready for a few accordions and drums tomorrow. Wickerman is just out of shot… #Padstow #ObbyOss #Cider #KeepErGain #Midsommar #IfYouFloatYouBurn

Palantir hired the grandson of Britain's most famous fascist to run its UK arm without a real interview. Alex Karp cited Oswald Mosley and handed him the job. They want total control and think a fascist lineage is cool. Europe should avoid Palantir

Now that Farage has ditched the £ for crypto, presumably he won’t object if the UK does the same and joins the €.

It does feel like this Starmer/Mandelson issue is a true Westminster bubble thing that no one else really cares about. I can’t see it sticking like this to a Tory PM.

My youngest just passed his driving test! That took some effort especially from Mrs W who has shown the patience of a saint. Well done pard. 👏

As of this morning, I have lost 10kg since Jan 1st. Pretty proud of myself. Another 2kg to go. I now have about 20 pieces of clothing that fit again. Bonus! 😂

Been a while since I saw a nice Derek thread, and this one is lovely.

Paradigm. I died.

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

I'm not sure about you, but I think the collapse of US hegemony, a global price spike and recession, and a new ground war in the Middle East are far worse than drag queens reading books at the library.

That’s £1 a litre of diesel?

KAKISTOCRACY! #GeneralSubtweet

A glass of wine, fire is lit, Talk Talk is very much on point here

Elizabeth Warren’s 2021 wealth tax would have raised $3 trillion over 10 years. Because billionaire wealth has grown so much since then, her new wealth tax proposal would raise $6.2 trillion. Still wondering if we should tax the rich?

An underappreciated factor in Reform stalling out? Nigel Farage is really whiny

It's only force majeure if it comes from the Majeure region of France. Otherwise it's just a sparkling shitshow.
