Thoughts on the end of coal generation. I went here as a 16 year old lad for work ex in EC&I. I LOVED it 💙 The size, scale, smells, HEAT 🥵, sweat, dust, noise is quite indescribable. Unless you been in the turbine hall, it’s impossible to comprehend the enormity 😳 [1/10]

It's now definitive that Vote Leave broke election spending law. They dropped the case on Friday afternoon in the hope that no one would notice. Retweet if you want to confound that hope.

A little story for a wet Friday night. Near my house I found a wallet in the road. When opening it I found a bank card, some cash, a library and a youth club card. And also a front door key. The person who dropped it is 14 and could be locked out so I set out to find him….1/6

Rishi Sunak ‘I’m focused on delivering for Britain.’
Things he has delivered
Sewage
No taxes for Amazon, Shell, The Daily Mail and his wife
Highest Fuel/Food/Energy/Water/Taxes ever
Most Corrupt Government ever
RT if you want him to deliver his resignation and an Election

As Sun columnist Rod Liddle is brought onto Newsnight to talk about Huw Edwards' alleged behaviour towards young people, here's a reminder of what he's written himself on the subject.

At age 69, my dad put in for a charity ‘3 peaks dash’ to visit Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis within 24 hours.
They asked for evidence he could climb a hill:
“I sent a picture of me on Kilimanjaro, which is nearly twice as high as all 3 peaks piled on top of one another!”

The government needs to rebalance transport funding. ⚖️
Nearly all UK climate targets are being missed. Yet plans include spending billions on major roads, while the active travel budget has been cut by 75%. 🌍💷

Just to clarify. In UK, all ebikes are limited so that they do not assist above 15.5mph. Any electric 2 wheelers which do power above 15.5mph are electric motor bikes and have to be taxed and insured, riders to wear helmets and as "motor vehicles" comply with speed limits.

I've been seeing some posts from well-intentioned faculty about eliminating all deadlines in their classes. I study #ExecutiveFunction, #stress and #mentalhealth in college #students, and I'm here to tell you this will hurt the students you are trying to help. . . 1/buckle up

This is Lord Rothermere the Daily Mail Owner.
He lives in a mansion in Monaco, he pays tax in France and identifies as French.
The Daily Mail is registered in Bermuda and it pays no tax anywhere.
That is his ‘Patriotism’.

Every year, the fuel duty freeze alone emits more carbon than the total from construction AND operation of HS2 over 120 years.
