@PaulEmbery C'mon man, keep up. State sabotage, the world's biggest stockpile of nuclear weapons and democratic interference via the information space. The tiny Baltic states are vulnerable.

[Toby McMillan @tobiasmc]

@WarMonitor3 Absolutely and emphatically not. If we have learned anything in the last few years, it's that we need to decouple ourselves from the vagaries of fossil fuel markets. Gas boilers out. Petrol and diesel cars out.

@EmilyKerr36 @veganuary Get a copy of Meera Sodha's EAST! It's a riot of bold, zingy flavours that can transform bland tofu and British root vegetables into fork-quiveringly good food... A friend still raves on about the cauliflower kung pao I made years later.

@carltonreid A good read and well done. IMO asking young people to give up flying is like asking developing countries to give up cheap energy from fossil fuels – it's a tough sell. Self-interest isn't enough. You need juicy carrots if you want them to give up.

@laura_laker I use a Beeline Velo device for new routes. It's chic, minimal and so tiny that you wouldn't think it would work, but it does. The routes aren't perfect yet but will improve I'm sure and it is much cheaper than Garmins etc.

@RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK Alaistair bumping into Kwasi on the tube was funny but also came across as bizarrely chummy. Is there a backstory there? What did you talk about?

During times of conflict and suffering, we can only hope that outsiders who are not immediately affected will nurture seeds of peace. The job of intellectuals, artists and scholars is to try and go deeper. To try and see the complexity of reality, especially in today's climate of post-truth. It feels intellectually and emotionally lazy to just pick a side.

The greatest creative idea of our era was rebranding the unreasonable project timeline as a "sprint"

What's better than retail therapy, but just as rewarding? @TheSpringCycle. https://t.co/sf8dtv3K6O

@TheSpringCycle Awwwww, bless.

@RestIsPolitics How come the most effective opposition we have (Rashford, Lineker, Neville) are footballers?

My new song Better Days (I Came By Train) is out now 🌍❤️ I wrote this as a reminder that by making one small change, we can have such a big impact on all our relationships🫂 and our beautiful planet. 🌎❤️💫 #ad

@RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK I've just taken out an FT sub courtesy of the mighty TRIP but it's going to take a while before I understand exactly what byzantine hedging strategies the pension funds engaged in to get themselves in such a pickle. Could you guys clear it up for muggins here?

[Toby McMillan @tobiasmc]

@peteratcmc That's very fanciful... Lord Bluffington-Gaffington of Uxbridge & South Ruislip will suffer the embarrassment of losing his own seat in the next election as an MP. The public have smelt the coffee. And it doesn't smell of coffee.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Brilliant piece of Comms here. So much for taking back control ….

[Toby McMillan @tobiasmc]

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret Reading a Guardian article about the "Greenwich Set" today (Truss, Kwarteng & Frost), I was struck by a comment from a Labour councillor that Truss did not seem to have any "star quality". Who have impressed you with their X factor in the past 10 years?
