Lovely day out on @WorthValley. Had to make sure Frank the giraffe saw the engine too!

Spotted and reported a bug in the @GivEnergy API this morning. Huzzah!

@Chips4Peas @JodieSatterley @1312Se @MiloEnzo439068 @Dannyrobyn22 @BBCPolitics This is self-evidently nonsense, since the UK hasn’t been on the gold standard since 1931.

@DttDtht13 @BBCPolitics A lot of people think that about Labour, but the numbers show the exact opposite (https://t.co/jVlbrcBneg). If you want fiscal responsibility, you want a Labour government.

@MrFixerHQ @bobbyllew @LoftusSteve @BjornLomborg @shellenberger @ClintelOrg @ClimateAudit @JusperMachogu @RogerPielkeJr Because some people have been led to believe that their personal gain is more important than the collective.

Many people are choosing, freely and of their own accord, to make choices which reduce their impact, often at personal cost. The problem is it’s not everyone.

How we started it. How it's going.

@StAustellAdam @RhonddaBryant The target is literally right there in the name.

[Nick Jackson @jacksonj04]

@alexvv60 @RhonddaBryant For many of them, yes. They truly believe the balance of probability lies with all the scientists from across the globe being together in a vast conspiracy to falsify all of the data.

Taking a van to the EU as a @scouts volunteer- a thread. Buckle up!

In my volunteer role in Scouting I use my D1E to support teams of younger leaders who don’t have D1 on their license as that was removed on 1st Jan 1997.

I was asked to drive a 3.5tonne van to Switzerland /1

@LeedsNews Kinda irresponsible to include a quote saying cyclists don’t pay a penny to use the roads when that’s objectively untrue. Local roads are funded from council tax.

@Heywood83487886 @implausibleblog Let’s see the evidence of this “majority” you talk about.

@JamesCleverly Friendly reminder: @grantshapps *required* ULEZ expansion plans be put forward in 2020 as a condition of funding.

@GeorgeWeeks2014 @jonburkeUK This is exactly why I do my commute in a Luton. You never know when you’re gonna need to nip to B&Q and buy a shitload of lumber.

[Nick Jackson @jacksonj04]

@GeorgeWeeks2014 @jonburkeUK It’s important that we understand that these are the reasons people can’t possibly bike a couple of miles to work with nothing but themselves and a backpack.

[Nick Jackson @jacksonj04]

@LondonPeteM @jonburkeUK Turns out that if you encourage active travel and local amenities that the elderly become more independent, not less.

Policies don’t operate in isolation.

[Nick Jackson @jacksonj04]

@GeorgeWeeks2014 @jonburkeUK Rubbish. Some of them are people delivering fridges as well.

[Nick Jackson @jacksonj04]

@TVAddictStill @jburnmurdoch I don’t think anyone is in favour of forced retrofitting, at least not beyond that which can be done by a couple of competent people in an afternoon.

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

Don’t interpret a close by-election result and one poorly designed policy as Britons cooling on net zero: the British public — including Conservative voters — is fully behind ambitious green growth. Confident parties and leaders would channel those sentiments, not undermine them.
