Lisa Nandy and DCMS have binned off the cesspit formally known as Twitter 🚮 We can tackle the concentrated power of social media giants by backing federated platforms like BlueSky and Mastodon. Politicians and government bodies should join, so people aren’t forced to use X or Meta to get updates.

@theregister.com just what are you all up to now? 🤨

"The research also found that the US has more new pediatric asthma cases attributable to vehicle pollution annually than any other country. In 2024, US children accounted for one in 10 new pediatric asthma cases attributable to vehicle pollution globally."

Great to help @ledbydonkeys.org once again at our farm to deliver a powerful Brexit message. British farming, fishing and food are the sacrificial lambs of Brexit. Brexit has made Britain food insecure. We need to rejoin the EU to get back control of our food and be secure.

Free expression is a human right. This includes the right to receive and impart information. Children have this right too. As Scotland's Children's Commissioner said, the social media ban “would not currently be a proportionate, effective, or enforceable way to protect children's rights".

That is the most continuous thunder and lightning that I think I've ever seen. 20 minutes later and it's still going on...

Noisy out there around 3:30am #thunderstorm over Lothian before moving out over North Sea

Epic #thunderstorm last night in #WardieBay. We don't often get them here.

Wow, that is some proper horror movie special effects #thunderstorm that’s just woken me up! Near constant flashes in the sky of lightning (but I can’t see actual lightning bolts), and the most awesomely bassy also constant very rumbling thunder. #Edinburgh

Sunrise & sunset 17 hrs 36 mins apart on 21st June over Edinburgh's Old Town - with my viewpoints only 86 degrees apart. Same sticky up bits in a slightly different order & at sunset you can see - at the top of the crane - 60 mile distant Ben Lawers on Loch Tay's N shore

#Edinburgh 22:50 BST (21:50 UTC), looking almost due north along South Bridge. Only just becoming twilight. #Midsummer

Brexit rhymes with…

You won, get over it.

There is a hostile system of harm that led to my son's murder. He was killed by a man, but that man was enabled and empowered by a system of toxic masculinity, toxic car worship culture, the design of suburbs, hate towards bicyclists, and more. I encourage everyone to think about these things.

So do I. I can't help it, because this is exactly the truck that hit and killed my son.

On the 10th anniversary of Brexit, I'm celebrating with everyone who thinks it was a great idea that worked really well.

This is great. He's getting absolutely hammered on this and every answer he invents is worse than the one which preceded it

Ten years after voting to "take back control," some politicians are still desperately trying to use the EU as a scapegoat. Michel Barnier points out that the great lie of blaming Brussels has completely run its course—you can’t blame your neighbour for the mess inside your own house. 🫠📋👇

Ten years on from the Brexit referendum, trade unions on both sides of the Channel are calling for a jobs first reset in EU-UK relations firmly rooted in social progress 📰 www.etuc.org/en/pressrele...

Research Professional News examines the devastating toll Brexit has taken on UK universities. From the painful loss of immediate research funding to a collapse in EU student numbers and talent flight, the reality has proven to be exactly as grim as higher education leaders warned in 2016. 🎓🏛️👇

🇪🇺 🇬🇧 The door to the EU will always remain open. The UK remains an important part of the European family, and together we are stronger. Last Saturday‘s National Rejoin March was a clear reminder that the hope for a closer future remains alive. 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Gen Z is officially over Brexit. A new poll shows a massive majority want a vote to rejoin the EU. Turns out "taking back control" loses its charm when you realize it just meant losing your future. 📉🫖👇

#BrexitStillBreaksBritain. We simply have to #RejoinOurEU. Luckily we do still have good friends who #SaveOurStar and #LeaveALightOn for us. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🇪🇺

10 years after Brexit Referendum a message from @TerryReintke “I believe that Brexit was a massive mistake, that it weakened Glasgow, Scotland, the whole of the UK, but also the EU. So, let me reassure you 100% that we want Scotland, we want the UK back in the European Union”

I am BEGGING people - think tanks, governments, random organisations - to DATE YOUR REPORTS WHEN YOU DO THE PDFS. It should not be THIS HARD to find a BLOODY PUBLICATION DATE. You might think everyone will remember the magical day you published it years later. But you are delusional.

Here’s a 1980 brochure from the GLC telling the story of multiple plans for redeveloping Piccadilly Circus. Various schemes were proposed in the 1950s and 60s - think major demolition, tower blocks, pedestrian and traffic separation etc. - all of which seemed to cause outrage.

Today, on the tenth anniversary of the disastrous Brexit referendum, I'm preparing to chair the first meeting of Holyrood's Europe, External Affairs and Culture Committee. And I'll be wearing this.

Exactly 10 years since the Brexit vote, the verdict is in.

Some of you may remember I slipped on a wet surface in a ScotRails station at the start of June, hurting myself (because my poor body hasn't been through enough with surgery & chemo). It took ScotRail a week to respond, only doing so after I called them out publicly via their Twitter...

“The dominant feeling about Brexit in Ireland is not anger but sadness. There’s no pleasure in being proved right about the economic and political instability it created. If Britain wants a closer relationship with the EU, Ireland will be there to help” 👍 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Labour politicians keep going on about how rare Labour governments are Why do they just accept this? If we had a PR system they would frequently be in coalition And would have a share of power on an ongoing basis

NYT investigates US car bloat: “About 200 to 400 pedestrians a year would not have died if vehicles had remained approximately the same size over the past quarter-century. That represents about 10 percent of the recent increase in pedestrian deaths.”

The Yorkshire Post underlines a stark reality: young people are over Brexit. They didn't vote for it, they bear the economic brunt of it, and they back a European future by massive margins. Westminster is completely out of touch with them. 📉🫖👇

New LSE data shows how Brexit crippled the UK food sector, driving supply shocks and a staggering 50% rise in grocery bills since 2021. The stark economic reality of leaving the single market. 📉🛒👇

Remember when Brexiteers promised their victory would trigger the total collapse of the EU? 10 years on, Euronews reports European support for the bloc is actually higher than ever. Masterclass. 🫠🇪🇺👇

Reading about the alternate reality where the UK voted Remain is painful. Imagine a stable economy, normal grocery prices, and not wasting a decade screaming about blue passports. Absolute madness. 🫠🇬🇧👇

#Brexit destroys its 5th Prime Minister (plus a lettuce). Will the 7th PM take the steps needed, knowing that the only way to stop hindering the UK’s economy and to restore our standing in the world is to #RejoinSingleMarket and #RejoinOurEU?

Either Keir Starmer is resigning or I've got a new scratching post.
