Great video by @EleanorSheekey on why we age and programmed ageing.

It discusses old biology books, theories of ageing and my ageing software design flaw hypothesis.

Well done! Thank you 🙏

This is utter bollocks from @birmingham_live.

- National insurance cuts do not work by having it paid in your bank account and I'd never suggest it did
-the idea there's a set figure not income related is nonesense
- many of the figures mentioned in article aren't mine
- I'd never frame it this way

It's time these clickbait sites took some responsibility for their misleading headlines and employing content optimisers to write rather than journalists.

Amidst a cost of living crisis setting up such a misleading expectation for people is damaging.

“By using less electricity during peak times, customers could save hundreds of pounds a year.”

As smart tariffs like Agile become more common, families like Amy & Luke are saving around 30% on bills by doing washing later to make use of greener times⚡️

Pls share if you support.

Many young people are paying £100s/£1,000s fines to the govt to access money they saved to buy a first time house. It's time to #EndLISALockout

Today I've contacted the Chancellor @Jeremy_Hunt to ask him to fix Lifetime ISAs in the autumn statement. They're now a dead duck for many 1st time buyers especially in urban areas.

The LISA can be opened age 18-39 and then it gives savers a 25% bonus up to £1,000 a year towards a housing deposit. It should be great (& is for many).

Yet LISAs launched in 2017 with a £450,000 cap on the property you could use them for. That cap is still the same now, but house prices have gone up 33%. That leaves some who've saved squeezed out. Eg.

You saved the max in a LISA for 5yrs:
- You put in £20,000, state added £5,000, so you've £25,000
- Yet the home you wanted & saved for is now just above the threshold.
- So now you face a 25% penalty to withdraw your money, so you get only £18,750 back that's £1,250 less than you put in, and the different goes to the state.

My ask to the Chancellor is simple. Either wipe the fine for those buying houses above the threshold or raise the threshold in line with house price rises (or both).

Here we go again. The Gulf Stream is driven by the rotation of the earth. We would literally have to stop the earth from spinning to collapse it. What climate scientists are worried about is that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation stops.
