Rather massive elephant in room on politics of the car… is how coming Parliament will legislate to replace £28bn a year in fuel duty (given electric cars don’t use petrol/diesel, and new ones banned from 2030) with some other tax on motoring…

Much bigger than LTNs and Ulez…

Keir Starmer tells Labour’s National Policy Forum if the party wins power “the rescue job will be like none other”.

“Think of it like this: if our job in 1997 was to rebuild a crumbling public realm, in 1964 - to modernise an economy left behind by the pace of technological change, or in 1945 - to build a new Britain out of the trauma of a collective sacrifice, then in 2024 - it will have to be all three.”

In light of George Osborne’s comments, thought I’d just share this. It shows what’s been going on in the NHS in England since 2011🚨

#ClimateChange is about consumption of richest people in our global society

50% of global life style emissions are emitted by richest 10% of the population.

On January 7, 1969, The Beatles got together at a barren cavernous studio in London.

The deadline for their 12th studio album, Let It Be, was fast approaching.

And in a matter of minutes, Paul McCartney improvises and creates one of The Beatles all-time classic songs, Get Back:

This is one of the greatest “fly on the wall” glimpses of the creative process I've seen.

Takeaway 1:

In the clip, we see Paul McCartney’s creativity steadily increase.

There’s a scientific explanation for this.

Dr. Andrew Huberman talks about how the brain circuits involved in creativity take time to turn on. In fact, brain circuits related to stress and agitation turn on first.

I've heard him use 3 analogies to explain this.

1) It’s like swimming in the ocean—you have to wade through some seaweed and other muck to get to the clear water.

2) It’s like trying to lift your max on the bench press—it takes time to work up to that weight.

3) It’s like your best creative work is on the other side of a door at the top of a staircase—it takes time and effort to get up the stairs and through that door.

In other words, Dr. Huberman says, you become more creative the more you create.

Takeaway 2:

In many interviews, I’ve heard McCartney talk about his songwriting process and how The Beatles used time as a filter for what songs made it onto an album.

When The Beatles were starting out, McCartney explains, “there was no recording devices…There was no such thing as cassettes or anything to put the idea down on, so you just had to remember.”

He said they began to realize this was actually a good thing.

“We said, ‘if we forget it tomorrow, it’s no good.’ How can we expect the public to remember it if we can’t, and we only wrote it yesterday?

So we realized that we were writing songs that were memorable not because we wanted them to be memorable, but because we had to remember them.”

- - -

Similar to the way, in the clip, McCartney sort of mumbles and blurts out words and sounds, and then eventually, “Get Back” emerges, John Legend says:

“Most of my songs start with a ‘mumble track.’ It’s just me humming and mumbling nonsense. And then the mumbles start to suggest different tones and rhythms, and then eventually, the lyrics emerge.”

Neoliberals literally told us a decade ago that their plan to destroy the NHS is to make the service so unuseable so that the wealthy are forced to opt for private care instead, making the institution easier to defund and privatize.

🛑Patients do not want to be treated by private providers.
🛑Patients do not want the government funnelling money into the private sector at the expense of investing in the NHS.
🛑Patients want their local NHS services to work.
