I'm reviewing some material and they've solved the #CircularEconomy problem. You know, the one where we're less than 10% "circular" globally. Are you ready? We should give all our money to rich people. Or just burn it. Whatever. We'll all be superpoor with nothing to buy or waste. See, genius! 🤦

Another runway in London will make zero difference for mobility in most of the UK. The issue is unreliable infrequent train connections, e.g. connecting to/from Eurostar (or airports in the North of England or London for long distances). www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Good on Dutch pension funds. One demanding explanation from BlackRock about leaving this #NetZero alliance, and will likely move all investments elsewhere. And another sold all shares in the man-child's EV firm. nos.nl/artikel/2552...

Feeling a bit triggered today hearing the news that the #NHS is no longer linking veganism to extremism. While a good thing, why was it even on the blacklist! Reminded me of dietary "advice" received while recovering from #pancreatitis This may become a rant 🧵 www.vegansociety.com/news/news/ve...

Shocking though not new. A&E #NHS overwhelmed. As A&E regular with hereditary #pancreatitis I too often face animal-like and no / slow treatment leading to trauma and multi-organ damage. Staff are amazing to keep going given the conditions. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

In the meantime on Wall Street "All six of the largest US banks, JPMorgan, Citigroup, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs, have quit a similar group for banks, the Net-Zero Banking Alliance, in recent weeks" on.ft.com/3DLTnOy

One of the many things we ought to keep in mind on #ClimateChange. Not taking #ClimateAction will be a lot more expensive than investments curbing carbon emissions. www.munichre.com/en/company/m...

Refurbish, remanufacture or recycle? A challenging question to answer about buildings in the combined #lowcarbon and #circulareconomy transition.

Well this seems increasingly and depressingly true, given what little is left of quality of life in the UK post Tory governance... From Rousseau's The Social Contract.

I've had hereditary recurring acute #pancreatitis since I was born. I've learned tonnes about living with pancreatitis and would love to share. I'll post a few things here over the next months. All posts are my personal experience and never medical advice. This is a niche subject...

Does anyone know what this is? It looks a little like Northern lights but it's the sky west from Hull.

In 2021 @philpurnell.bsky.social and I published our principles for facilitating transitions towards a sustainable circular economy. The article reached a milestone of a 1,000 citations - thanks for all reads, citations and fanmail 😊 - and I thought it was time for an update on some figures.
