@Baddiel I’m sure there was an excellent Mary Whitehouse Experience bit about “this is not the voice of an actor”

If you play music in public without headphones, you are a cunt. It really is that simple.

@SimonJenkins1 40??? No way! You are mid-20s at most

[Laurie Macfarlane @L__Macfarlane]

The only way new North Sea drilling cuts energy bills is if the UK:

– Nationalises the rigs
– Bans exports
– Sells at cost-price

None of that is on the table. It will be sold on global markets to the highest bidder.

Bills won’t move an inch.

It’s a shame this is an April Fools cos you actually couldn’t take my money fast enough.

[Chris Murray MP @ChrisMurrayMP]

Disagree with this. Our energy security is threatened by our reliance on fossil fuels. So the answer is renewables and nuclear, not doubling down on oil and gas.

The energy crisis and the climate crisis are real. Fossil fuels are the answer to neither.

Bird Twitter! (Eg @birdinglothian) what’s this? Great white diver? Eclipsing cormorant? Something else?

Pavement parking *and* on a double yellow! Nice one, Alba Glass & Glazing! @Edinburgh_CC

[Michael Shanks MP @mgshanks]

1/ Blaming price rises on wind farms is simply misleading.

Critics like to diagnose the problems with Britain, but at the same time block the solutions.

Our reliance on fossil fuels is still the main driver of high energy prices in the UK. But there's more to it than that 🧵👇

Gorgeous weather and a sunny reception on the doors for @ScottishLabour with @LabourStirling in the Stirling East by-election🌹

The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible.

@UnisonDave hi Dave, hope you’re well. I’d like to pick your brains about something - please could you follow me so I can DM you?

I’ve had the privilege of working with Sarah as part of SERA - Labour’s Environment Campaign, and she has been an inspiration, a mentor and - dare I say it - a friend. She will be a massive loss to the Scottish Parliament and to the climate and nature movement.

[Sarah Boyack @SarahBoyack]

It has been the honour of my life to serve my community in the Scottish Parliament, but I’ve decided not to stand in next year’s election.

My friend and colleague @SarahBoyack has been at the heart of Scottish devolution from the very start.

A principled campaigner, she has been a great servant for her community and the Scottish Labour Party.

[Katherine Sangster MSP @kath14sangster]

Great to be out on a sunny Saturday ☀️ with @ScottishLabour campaigning for our fantastic local by-election candidate @DavyRussell4HLS.

Scotland deserves better than the SNP’s record of failure in our schools & hospitals. Davy is ready to work hard for his community!
