@gabyhinsliff The Emily Maitlis MacTaggart lecture, more and more people speaking out from breakfast presenters to ex-Tory PMs, the Biden climate bill, Ukrainian guts and humour
I’ve seen a confidential document from Lynton Crosby’s lobbying firm which advises Boris Johnson to ride roughshod over every convention and standard of propriety to pack the House of Lords.

'I have had enough of being told by shadowy old businessmen and lazy, ignorant hacks – who aren't real scientists – that the science is wrong.'
Andrew Marr's furious response to those dismissing the climate crisis, as the UK faces a record-breaking heatwave.

@cjsnowdon We are lucky to live on an island at a high latitude with a moderate climate. We’re not set up well for high temperatures now but we could adapt. Short term - people less lucky than yourself are suffering. Long term - none of us will be immune from global instability. But enjoy.
'Stop it now, get up from your desks, walk away, no more.'

@doctor_oxford@caitlinmoran After two births, a coil and other gynae exams, the kind concern about whether I was suffering any cramping pain during a colonoscopy (so minimal in comparison) felt confusing - as did the assumption that I would need sedation as well as gas and air. Something is awry.
@CrispianWFCDO About the level of my 4 year old in English - she knows what rhetorical and insolence mean but still says something went goodly instead of well for example 😁
‘No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe
is the less’
The UK is severely lagging behind. Wearing a face mask in an enclosed public space is an altruistic act for the most part. We shouldn’t like what that says about our society.
A very Happy 94th Birthday to the amazing Sir David Attenborough. 🎉
What better way to celebrate than enjoying his impression of a sloth? 👏
