Scotsman, trapped in the south of England. Borderer and honourary Dundonian. Mostly just a massive geek. Becoming a little bit more socialist every day.

New year, new running thread. 6.5k in 30:10. Feel good even after half of the extended Lord of the Rings on the couch with the bairn today.

12 months of runs so time to start a new thread. 61:44 to go just over 12k. Signed up for a 10k in October but I'm keen to start increasing the distance as the weather improves.

BREAKING: Tens of thousands of oxygen-starved fish are washing up dead in Texas due to the devastating impact of climate change. This a mass death event.

Another example of how the fossil fuel industry destroys the planet's life-nourishing ecosystems. https://t.co/QhaxJHstTP

[GET A GRIP @docrussjackson]

In 2019, the same number of votes it took to elect @CarolineLucas got you 22 Tory MPs, & just 29% of the UK electorate gave Boris Johnson an 80-seat majority.

#FPTP is a broken.

Votes/seat #GE2019:

@theSNP 26K
@Conservatives 38K
@UKLabour 50K
@LibDems 336K
@TheGreenParty 865K

Stephen Flynn said Boris Johnson stepping down was unlikely to elicit sympathy from Scots...

And it's no wonder - here's five quotes about Scotland Boris would likely much rather we all forgot

7.5k in 39;49 so not the best. Need to get a few more mid week runs in to improve my pace and stamina. Replacement running machine arrives today though so that will help.

11.4k in 60:00. Felt like crap after a bad night's sleep. Work stress is real. But at least I got out! Uk Games Expo tomorrow so no run.

Donald Trump has been indicted.
Boris Johnson has resigned.
Looking forward to seeing what the 3rd wish the person with the magic lamp makes.

RT if you want me to become the next MP for Uxbridge & South Ruislip.

Was not expecting that. Uxbridge by-election too? My cup runneth over.

@Mark_AJohnson writes about how a 'Britcoin' could place the state at the heart of all transactions.

Two key climate U-turns in just the last 3 days from Labour.

The science is clear. As is the devastating impact that wildfires, floods and soaring temperatures are having in Scotland and around the world.

Our future can't afford delay.

Peston, "Labour says it will get a better Brexit deal."

Barnier, "We are ready to talk, but not at the expense of the EU Single Market."

Peston, "The majority of British people say it was a mistake to Brexit. How long would it take to #RejoinEU"

Barnier, "The door is open."

There must be strict separation of CoP28 administration & that of Adnoc oil corporation. If not rectified, free discussion of climate ambition, fair representation of non-oil interests, just transition matters, UNFCCC integrity will be heavily compromised https://t.co/MAJKRA9aMx
