With all the talk about migrating to mastodon, I'm starting to picture myself as a tribal elder who realizes he has already made his last migration as he watches everyone pack up their furs and babies and earthenware pots and start traveling south ahead of the advancing glacier.

@StellaLouisa @lewis_goodall " but we paid soooo much for this unfair advantage". (Big schadenfreude smile on the face of this state educated Oxbridge grad this morning. Go Lewis!)

@TheNewsAgents @GlobalPlayer @maitlis @lewis_goodall @stephenkb Could we have a bit on the climate stuff please? Great as you are, cabinet reshuffle feels like 🎻 while Rome 🔥. Meanwhile: https://t.co/SfjRpmNQya (Assume Sunak/Coffey going to be much worse than even Boris govt on this).

@jackthurston At least 'Tufton St' means more to a wider number of ppl at any previous point, so fingers crossed enough get stirred into action. (With you on the Stonehenge tunnel, I think - not least in the hope that in future there'll be just less traffic...)

@jonlis1 How bad has it got when Mogg says "and he wouldn't want me in his Cabinet anyway" - and that sounds like a standout shining beacon of honesty? (no fibs for a whole half sentence)

@gavinesler Just squeaking it w my mortgage arrangement (tho I didn't realise my peril at the time) in what is possibly last chance saloon for buying 🏠. They narrowly didn't ruin my life, but I'm feeling it for all the people who have been done over. Truss astonishingly seems unrepentant.

@RestoreTrustNT @nationaltrust I fear that your promoted tweet has just been delivered to a whole bunch of ppl precisely because they dislike everything you stand for...

@craig_lovesey91 @alr1970twit @ElectionMapsUK @snarky_liberal @PeoplePolling I can't really work out why it's so Tory. When I was raised there in 70s/80s loads of ppl working on the land for peanuts. Still all endlessly voted Tory.

@ElectionMapsUK @snarky_liberal @PeoplePolling My mum's been heroically Not Voting Tory in S Holland and the Deepings since 1976. It would be nice if just the once she could see them off...

@alexhallhall I know this is hardly the most important consideration, but now imagining Charles punching air as he realises he can now go to COP27...

[Robert Saunders @redhistorian]

I have to confess that I had never *really* understood how a government with a huge majority in Parliament could simply implode while in power, to the extent that it became simply incapable of remaining in office.

The period from 1903 to 1905 is making a lot more sense now.

@lewis_goodall total stars.

@martin_farley Sigh, indeed. Meanwhile the mantra about 'lazy' people continues, while the quickest way to make cash is to be in the rentier class, doing bugger all....

[Kate Smith - passed away peacefully 15th november @Iceship]

@martin_farley This all sounds very sensible (and shows that it's not true that we're boxed in a corner by markets with no options.) Something's really got to give on the stuff w ppl being evicted from rentals so landlords can mint it from B&Bs

@TomSeymour Oh lord yes, someone create us a Wokerati generator...

@RKemb @Feargal_Sharkey Thinking about it, that seems likely, doesn't it? My weakness is the 'organic' farmed salmon, which is scarcely better - but actually there are plenty of other things to eat, and I'm aiming to stay off that too.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

Did you know it takes 1kg of wild fish, anchovies, mackerel, sardines etc to produce 1kg of farmed salmon?

Yes, they catch wild fish and feed it to farmed salmon.

@LennieMerrick1 @john4brexit Also presumes we were too incompetent to stop Brexit, but have mysterious shadowy power to control all things subsequently.

Despite a group of increasingly right wing headbangers being in office.
