@RestIsScience Turns out I am part of the 4%. My parents encouraged logic/ maths puzzles when I was very small (maths teacher & doctor/ programmer so I didn’t stand a chance really), and I’ve enjoyed them ever since, so I would have been very annoyed if I didn’t get it!

@mrjakehumphrey Couldn’t agree more.

@tedkravitz I think a ‘twerk’ to the set up on George’s car is a perfect description, given it seems to be making his rear end move around! 😂

Huge happy 80th birthday to the legendary @DollyParton 🎉- we are marking it with a parody of her 2nd number one hit, written by the @BeeGees.
Our 🎶 version's called "Donald's Sewage Stream" - since he brought his sick drivel to #Europe #Davos #NATO & our #armedforces this week

@CroftyF1 what is the penalty for doing more than 25 laps on a tyre? Is it DQ, or a time penalty?

@Matt_Pinner The bit where you cook it?

Mariella Frostrup, "I just don't know when we started dehumanising people to the extent that we do now"

>Huge clap<

*In response to Nadine Dorries's long rant on leaving the ECHR and using the Royal Navy to address Farage's Brexit Small Boats Arrivals*

"I find it really shocking"

"Imagine if nobody wanted to come here then we'd really be depressed by Britain as a nation"

"Of course it is an issue. But we've decreased our budget for international development"

"We have a completely shambolic asylum system"

"You talk about people coming here illegally, but what are the legal routes?"

"We still don't have proper legal routes"

Nadine Dorries, "We do"

Mariella Frostrup, "Explain. I'm a woman in Congo. I'm one of the 80,000 women who has been raped as a result of the conflict going on there. I need to escape. My family has been wiped out. What's my legal way of applying to join my sister who is in the UK?"

*Nadine Dorries goes silent*

"It is impossible, our system is broken"

"The way we talk about people trying to come here, and the way we completely ignore the dilemmas that they face. And the fact that we have been instrumental in a lot of those conflicts"

"What happened to Afghanistan? When we were determined that people from Afghanistan could come here because of the way they supported us during that war"

"And now we're talking about them as if they're rubbish on the street"

"I think it's a shame we're allowing Reform UK to set the tone and the agenda and the way we talk about illegal immigrants"

*Nadine Dorries is now biting her lips*

>Another huge clap<

Please watch and share this 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇨🇦🇺🇸

President Macron, "Naively, we have entrusted our democratic space to social media controlled by American entrepreneurs or Chinese corporations whose interests do not align with the survival of democracy"

"Children are exposed to harmful content, fueling mental health and behavioral crises among youth"

"Public spaces encourage emotion over reason, negativity over positivity—driving extremes"

"Algorithms amplify this for profit. Our democracies were not designed for this"

"If we Europeans do not reclaim control of our democracy, in ten years, those exploiting this infrastructure will have won"

"We will become a continent of conspiracy theorists, extremists, and noise"

"If we believe in democratic order, we must put science, knowledge, culture, education, and learning at the center"

"We must protect our youth and regulate social media with the same standards as democratic spaces: no hidden or fake accounts, equal responsibility for published content"

"Otherwise, racism, anti-Semitism, and hate will triumph. Europe can rebuild a 21st-century democracy—but it requires action"

@KemiBadenoch Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Anne Frank

@sarahduce @TheSnowDreamer Partly that, also because warnings are linked to impact they will have. Not so many trees in the WI, and buildings/outhouses etc are generally built to withstand the prevailing winds to a higher degree. So for the same windspeed, there is lower risk of debris flying around.

🚨 The first disease-modifying therapy for Huntington's disease was just announced this morning.

75% reduction in symptoms over 36 months.

This isn't hype.

It's field-changing.

And it uses RNA.

Starmer ravages Farage:

"The honourable member for Clacton is not here... he's flown to America to badmouth and talkdown our country. And worse than that... he's gone to lobby the Americans to impose sanctions. You cannot get more unpatriotic than that. It's a disgrace."

the smaller parties and independents. For clarity, that means I expect to hear from Nigel Farage and his party for around 22 seconds out of a 1 hour political show. At present you are being biaised and legitimising their racism. (2/2)

Dear BBC,
Reform have 4 MPs. There are 650 MPs in total. Therefore in order to be representative, Reform should have &lt;1% of the airtime on political matters. Labour, as our elected government, should have 61%, conservatives 18%, lib dems 11%, and the remainder split between (1/2)

@Vanessa_Maths lovely to meet you at the maths scholarship event - was hoping to try the lovely paper cutting with a class this week as part of our school culture week. Can you recommend any resources I could use to make slides for a lesson? Thanks! :)
