This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

70k signatures to rejoin the EU. Big petition, timely too - polling shows the public is in favour. Let’s get it to 100k and push Labour to debate rejoining. It’s the glaringly obvious solution our economic problems and the rise of the far right. Please repost. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Fighting for my life to get a full sentence out with Nick Ferrari on LBC just now. We have to be realistic about safe routes: It’s a small number of people trying to come here & we desperately need people, too. youtube.com/shorts/M1OVO...

Pathetically inadequate response from DEFRA / UK Westminster Govt to our petition to ban driven grouse shooting. Ignores all the evidence & will embolden The Untouchables. Our campaign will now intensify over coming weeks... #RaptorResearch #WildlifeCrime raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/01/19/p...

Today is an object lesson in the radicalisation of the British right-wing press. Britain is being disparaged and insulted by a foreign far-right conspiracy theorist. But the Mail, the Express, the Telegraph and even the Times choose focus their criticisism on the British prime minister instead.

Modern cars are far too complex. All I want is a car with the simplicity of a Morris Minor that is fast, fun to drive and has a good sound system.

There are more than 10m children in school in the UK…but, per Times, 3,000 might move to state sector because of VAT rise…so Whitehall is “braced” 😲😲😲 Says a lot about UK media bubble, the way this story is reported. You pay VAT on luxuries. Private schooling is that.

The UK 🇬🇧 can afford to spend £2,000,000 imprisoning decent, peaceful people & keep them away from their families over Christmas. Is that for telling inconvenient truths? Let’s hope @UKLabour gets the Christmas spirit & releases them Now Please! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

6.3m properties now at risk from flooding in England. 43% higher than the Environment Agency's last report in just 2018. Climate change is hitting harder than expected. UK emissions reduction targets—set up to 14 years ago—aren't fit for purpose. We need to pass the Climate & Nature Bill #CANBill

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all." Arthur C. Clarke

1. I’m pretty sceptical about representative democracy: broadly speaking, I think it’s a contradiction in terms. But if we are to have such a thing, it should look like the assistant dying bill debate in Parliament yesterday. That debate showed us what we are missing all the rest of the time. 🧵
