Hi @EE I have a problem with my mobile that’s not related to your Vodafone issue - but you’re refusing to take my call to resolve this because you’re busy. No option to even wait in a queue?!

[Michael Jacobs @michaelujacobs]

Your morning wake-up call.

My friend Simon has been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease - a rare and devastating condition. His brother Paul is raising money for the @mndassoc. Please help if you can: https://t.co/dKfnj8V5Ao

The effects of global heating are more severe than scientists expected - and they’ll almost certainly get much worse still, the UN’s former climate change chief. Prof Bob Watson told me. He said extreme weather events at 1.2C will be dwarfed as the world heats more.

Wow! Wow! Wow!

North Atlantic sea surface temperature anomalies are going vertical again. And yes, I needed to extend the y-axis.

Yesterday's temperature of 24.49°C (76.08°F) was 4.2σ above the 1991-2020 mean. The previous high for July 17 was 23.71°C (74.68°F) in 2020.

Campaigner @WriterHannahBT is an inspiration and she makes an important point here: if such a simple and inexpensive measure is not embraced in the fight against biodiversity commitments, what is?

This is a disgrace all Island nations should boycott these games until the Faroe Islands stops its barbaric slaughter of whales & dolphins

This article fails to mention the UK has one of the biggest excess savings piles, at a little over 10% of GDP (Robin Winkler at Deutsche Bank AG). https://t.co/jDDm7siX5f

Excited to be back with the @foundersfactory crew.

Since then, it has helped 1,000,000 young people turn their lives around, created 125,000 entrepreneurs and given business support to 395,000 people in the UK.

I am sure people like Zoe Williams said the same when the Duke of Edinburgh launched the DoE Award and the former Prince of Wales launched the Prince's Trust. https://t.co/hlxxek2vKk

[Gavin Sheppard @GavinJSheppard]

The Prince's Trust was established when the then Prince of Wales used his Navy severance pay – £7,400 – to fund a number of community initiatives. These early initiatives were the founding projects of The Prince’s Trust.

#swift bricks provide a safe, permanent home for 4 red listed urban birds. A national policy to install them in new developments is #TheFeatherSpeech debate’s aim. Email me your MPs name to [email protected] + I’ll send a briefing note so you can ask them to take part.

Very sad to read this. I have the privilege of working with Margaret to establish @SmartEnergyGB. https://t.co/0N39gRG9zg

A “net zero enclosure” at Ascot is like a “no pissing” area in a swimming pool. https://t.co/ULp3iBCbqM

Good to be back. @LBS

Impressive that Channel 4’s ‘Greatest Auction’ has managed to simultaneously dumb-down ‘Flog It’ and yet make it much less accessible.
