@amuse @DschlopesIsBack Americans are free to buy guns, citizens of some other countries live free from the fear of gun violence. I’ll make my choice thanks.

16mm film footage captured from the Apollo 17 LM Challenger as it descended to the surface of the Moon in the Taurus-Littrow valley on December 11, 1972. I've rotated it so the view is roughly upright. (Original video source: NASA, JSC and the Internet Archive)

@teslaeurope I have had European summon for 5 years and it had moved my car in and out of my garage almost every day. Actually Smart Summon refuses to do what the old one could. Can I roll back my software to the old version please? My charger is in my garage.

If wetlands prevent floods and straight rivers are bad, why do we keep doing it?

Here's why, and how we can do better, along with the most AMAZING visualizations of rivers:

Must watch on House of Commons reform @EllieChowns

Dr Ellie Chowns, "As a newly elected member, I'd like to offer observations on three elements on how this house operates: sitting, speaking and voting"

➡️ Sitting
- Chamber is too small
- In Council and in European parliament we had own seat, desk, plug in devices
- Extraordinary there aren't enough seats for every MP

There is a practice of Christian prayers, as a daughter of preachers I am familiar with this. But in this day and age where we are a mix of all faiths and none, it might be time to represent a range of faiths

➡️ Speaking
- If we have more time limits more MPs would be incentivised to speak
- Trying to get a slot, bobbing up and down, last week I did for five solid hours without getting attention of the speaker
- This is not good for a democracy
- Find a better way of allocating speaking time
- The culture in this house is everything from excessive deference to braying, we need to clean to clean up politics, we are here to debate in as positive a spirit as possible

➡️ Voting
- It's extraordinary we do not have electronic voting
- While I've been here I've participated in 5 votes, that's taken 1.25 quarter
- If you add up all the votes thats 1.5 months of MPs time, totally unproductive
- If we got rid of the voting lobbies we could double the physical size of the chamber (everyone could then have a seat)

"My final point, if we want to be a truly modern house of commons: proportional representation"

Thank you @AdrianRamsay for raising the upcoming COP16 biodiversity summit at #PMQs 👏

An important request for the PM to attend #COP16 in person & for the UK to bid to host the next one 🌍

This is an opportunity for Gov to show real leadership in combatting global nature decline 💚

A bumblebee can only fly for about 40 mins between feeding. But we've lost 97% of our wiłdflower meadows. So each nectar-rich flower you plant in a windowbox or in your garden or community green spaces could be the pit stop that saves a bee 🐝

"All English water firms now investigated for sewage spills"

Fines clearly are not a deterrent, we just end up paying them anyway.

Let's put dividends, licenses and shares on the line and then see if they improve.
