As you watch the Aurora this evening, it’s worth reflecting that you’re getting a rare direct glimpse of the power of Nature. Those charged particles causing the atmosphere to glow came from a sunspot complex 17 times the diameter of Earth and traveled across 90 million miles at a million miles an hour. Without our magnetic field to protect us, our atmosphere would have been lost to space long ago. Those colours in the sky are Nature reminding us that we’re very lucky to be here amidst the violence. And perhaps therefore also reminding us not to shite it all up :-)

@LDNtoBrighton And cars with only one working headlight, as people just jump in and drive without ever checking the roadworthiness of their vehicle.

@robmanuel I think it's where you've removed a cd rom drive, and fitted a blanking plate which isn't from the same case.

[Chris Boardman CBE @Chris_Boardman]

A very interesting thread.

[Dr Charlie Gardner (also on the blue place) @CharlieJGardner]

Happy 111th birthday to this little one

@DozzaSR I think the answer may be running the country from a cell. AFAIK no specific law against it, as no-one thought a law for that would ever be needed.

Would that be the same Camberley sewage works that was recently issued an abatement notice by @Surreyheath? 🤔 Well done to them. 👏👏👏

Other local authorities may want to take note.

@Scientits Speccyfoureyes have provided my glasses for several years now. More than happy with them.

Every point counts at the European Athletics Team Championships, so when Belgium’s 100m hurdler got injured, shot putter Jolien Boumkwo stepped in. Hats off

Mark this in your diary, 13th June 2023.

The day it came to fruition, 30 years of underinvestment joined with 3 decades of regulatory failure.

A @unitedutilities burst sewage pipe shut 8 beaches in Blackpool while @sewateruk told its customers it was running out of water.

I just spoke to my new nemesis CEO of @Equinor and its majority shareholder, the Norwegian government, at their AGM.

These are the very people who decide whether we avert climate catastrophe or keep throwing fuel on the crisis and let millions of people die. (pt. 2 in thread)

[Lauren MacDonald🌻 #StopRosebank @laurensunfl0wer]

Rich countries like Norway need to take their fair share of responsibility for the climate crisis and use their wealth to support a fair & fast transition to renewables.

Instead, they’re expanding fossil fuels across the world, at the expense of those already most marginalised.

So our event for #CathedralsatNight stands out just a bit...

It will be great fun, and we look forward to everyone joining us for #Eurovision2023 madness!

@notBsilenced @Schadyhamster Yup.

[Methodical Mark @MethodicalMark]

@Surreyheath Not sure that's the right image...

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

NEW: Lib Dems take control of Surrey Heath, Michael Gove country.

A true Tory thumping across the south east of England.

[Methodical Mark @MethodicalMark]

@lewis_goodall Well after 1/3 of the seats declared, it's not looking very blue any more.
