Because science is only half of life. The big half, but still only half.

So I have been having a little look at the people who run some of the Welsh anti-20mph Facebook groups.

It seems that many of them a run by Tory politicians.... who live in England....and support 20mph where they live....

Let's go on a journey (at a very safe speed).

I have just seen that there are doner kebab flavoured pot noodles and frankly, if there was any doubt that civilization is on the brink then it has now been dispelled.

I’m not very good at expressing my feelings, so if I ever lend you one of my books just know that means I love you and trust you implicitly and will haunt you from the grave should you fail me

I love high quality science content. But this is also perfect.

@teachypiano Wolf Hall has a weird writing style that it takes a while to get comfortable with, but once you are in it is mesmerizing. Enjoy!

Shell just recorded £32 billion in profit.

3,000 people in the UK die every year because they can't afford to heat their homes.

There’s nothing pragmatic about letting greed run rampant while the poorest freeze to death.

Energy is a public good. It should be in public hands.

There’s a very lengthy backstory to Nadhim Zahawi’s HMRC settlement, and lots of people have been asking me to summarise it. Here goes:

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

Last night, 292 Conservative MPs voted to allow sewage dumping by water companies in our rivers and coasts for at least 15 more years.

Can you spot your MP on the list?

[TheScientistAtHome @ScientistAt]

@jakebrooker What is the answer? (And also congratulations 🎉)

[Gordon Brown @GordonBrown]

Charging the sick for being sick.

Mark my words: this will be end of the NHS if the Tories have their way.

Good morning lovelies!
I'll try to do a second round for previous llamas I love dearly, boosting would be especially welcome!

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

First they’ll charge you for GP and A&E visits.

Then for therapies and outpatient appointments.

Then before you know it you’ll face eye-watering bills like they do in America.

Can any of us afford to pay $42,347.46 to deliver a baby?

If you are in the UK surely it makes more sense environmentally and in supporting our farmers to buy sugar made in the UK from locally grown sugar beet. So many reasons not to buy from Tate and Lyle. Try Silver Spoon instead. Same price, different road to the product.

[Senator Murray Watt @MurrayWatt]

40 yrs ago @tateandlyleplc stopped buying Aus sugar but our strong sustainability record means they want to do it again. The Aus-UK Free Trade Agreement will make it happen & @NationalFarmers Pres Fiona Simson & I are in London to push it along. More exports, more jobs for Aus.

My car broke down last year - the clutch gave out.

I tried passing a law making it illegal for my car to stop working, tried suing it, tried arresting it and tried sacking it.

Turned out that I needed to spend money maintaining and fixing it.

Who knew...

In this experiment Dr Rob Thompson from the University of Reading shows how long it takes a cup of water to soak into parched ground. This is why heavy rainfall after a drought can be really dangerous & might lead to flash flooding

We don’t need AI to make art. We need AI to write emails and clean the house and deliver the groceries so humans can make more art.
