MPs are now voting on amendments to the assisted dying bill. The most recent one was just defeated by a majority of 50+. Significant indication of how things are looking today, as it suggests the bill’s supporters are out in force and a majority still exists for it.

I thoroughly enjoyed doing this, although it was recorded quite some time ago so I can’t remember exactly what I said, just that my conversation with @andrewcopson.bsky.social was, as always, a delight to be part of. I’ll have to listen to it myself now.

For decades the early buyers of renewable electricity paid higher bills because the technology was still developing and more expensive Now that renewables are cheaper, it's a scandal that our bills are kept artificially high by the costs of fossil generation

The felon's claim that Iran can't have a nuclear weapon would have been a lot more believable if he hadn't pulled out of the deal that prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon!

The Trump EPA’s move to reverse the asbestos ban is reckless and dangerous. Ignoring decades of evidence on asbestos’s deadly risks, they prioritize industry profits over public health. This rollback threatens to expose countless Americans to fatal diseases for political gain. Unacceptable.

Over 70 U.S. companies went out of business from asbestos claims leading to the $30B trust funds for asbestos victims. Businesses keep going bankrupt and people keep dying of mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis.

Yes. In fact, Trump was caught on microphone, seriously or jokingly, saying exactly that: he wants to be like Kim Jong Un.

If Starmer can change his mind in the face of evidence from Baroness Casey, regarding the need for a nationwide inquiry into grooming gangs; why does the more compelling evidence to support the need to apply to rejoin SM, CU or EU completely, not force Starmer to change his mind? He promised growth!

By far the scariest part of this is that the rate at which our planet is warming has increased so quickly. I mean, the last time I checked a few years ago the consensus was that the planet was heating 0.2C / decade.

Yeah, we did this in the US. Years of telling students that they need to be ready to listen to all sides and then a swift transition to locking them up for writing op-eds in the student newspaper.

The government needs to publish any legal advice received around involvement in the conflict with Iran. The last thing we need is for the UK to be dragged into another illegal war in the Middle East by the US.

It is shocking that 22 years after the US, UK and Australia went to war in Iraq based on the WMD lies, we see mainstream media headlines today running Trump's Iran "weeks away" from a nuclear weapon claim without explicitly framing it as directly contradicted by his own intelligence community
