@daveg @MazzucatoM Why do we need AI to tell us to stop pumping CO2 into the atmosphere? The only thing better modelling will do is more accurately tell us where the end-stops to our activities are. The action we need to take is the same. Why use our carbon budget on AI to tell us to stop polluting

Labour rightly & noisily are waving a big stick at the water industry over sewage pouring into our rivers & on to our beaches

But they ignore the key point: privatisation has failed. Water is an essential resource & should be in public hands as it is everywhere else in Europe

[Vinay @leashless]

It is criterial to understand that everybody wants to draw a line under the problem and say “good enough” there.

Oligarchy defeated? Ok.

Universal healthcare? Ok.

For me that line is “people have more or less the same long life regardless of age or job title”.

Kerala model!

Today, the UK government announced that the military budget will grow to £50 billion, at a time when every other department is under huge financial pressure.

I asked the Defence Secretary what he is doing to bring about a more peaceful world.

Ascribing agency to technologies is a tactic of powerholders to misdirect attention away from their own role as protagonists and away from the interests being served.

The monthly subscription will allow unlimited travel on buses, trams, subways, and local trains across every region in the entire country.

I've called on @RishiSunak to urgently correct the record after he "inadvertently misled" the House during #PMQs by saying he'd only heard of allegations against Gavin Williamson yesterday. A former Tory Chair states he informed the PM well in advance about bullying allegations.

LBC journalist Charlotte Lynch was arrested whilst reporting on a Just Stop Oil protest, and spent five hours in a prison cell.

This is British press freedom in 2022.

Yesterday, myself, a documentary filmmaker and @tomsdinner, a press photographer, got arrested by @HertsPolice whilst filming the @JustStopOil protest from a public footbridge over the #M25.
