Woke up full of energy after a quite active day-off yesterday (although I did stay within my 'Energy Envelopes' for #VisibleHealth PacePoints and for #KiActiv Movement).

20% of global oil production passes through the Strait.
33% of global fertiliser production passes through the Strait.
A recipe for a global food supply and economic shock.
To restore democracy and create a fairer, safer, greener world, we need massive taxes on the ultra-rich. As in the 1940s. People get confused about this. The main purpose of such taxes is *not* to raise revenue. The point is to stop the few dominating the many. It's an essential democratic measure.

& the slight Parasympathetic Swing is confirmed by my #EliteHRV check-in:
RMSSD is elevated
Heartrate Variability abnormally high
Parasympathetic Nervous System Activity is dominating over Sympathetic NS Activity.
Important to KEEP PACING CAREFULLY on days like this as I could easily overexert!
...and as expected, the #KubiosHRV app sees these data as Good News 👇
Kubios is suggesting that I can head to work with a spring in my step; 91% (very high) Readiness, a resting heartrate of just 52bpm and high RMSSD at 63ms.
But I've learnt to look at the bigger picture, across all three HRV apps

NEW - The Hereditary Peers Bill has passed in the House of Lords, finally passing the government’s major reform that has been fought every step of the way, despite being manifesto pledge.
It passes now only because the government offered the Tories more life peerages.
If Iran has laid mines in the Strait of Hormuz, it would be a catastrophe for the global economy.
It would take weeks or months of specialised work to demine the route.
Trump is utterly out of his depth. All of this was long predicted by open source analysis of how a war with Iran could unfold.

BREAKING: As many as 150 US troops have been wounded so far in the war with Iran.
Far higher than Pentagon which claims that only 8 have been wounded.
This is a REUTERS story, not Iranian propaganda. They have it from two sources.
CBS: Trump said yesterday for the first time that he had to strike Iran because he thought Iran would strike the US within 7 days. Where is he getting that?
LEAVITT: This was a feeling the president had based on facts
President Trump, "The world respects us right now more than they have ever respected us before"
👀 Did you post this to my office? Written with pink/purple ink? I'd really like to talk to you if so, I can protect your identity but what you sent was really important but not enough on its own. Get in touch via DM email etc... Pls RT.
There is no time to wait. We need more climate ambition not less.

We're spending $1 billion per day on war as millions of working people struggle to get by.
Meanwhile, America's ultra-rich have never been richer.

Imagine my surprise when my daughter sent me this clip of Michael Barrymore admiring my portrait!
She made it at primary school around 15 years ago 😊
Reform UK’s attack on heat pumps and net zero is reckless, economically illiterate, and dangerous for Britain’s future.
Some forces actually should have cooled the planet in 2025:
• A shift from El Niño to La Niña
• The solar cycle moving past its peak
• Fewer wildfires globally
Yet 2025 still ranked as the 3rd-hottest year ever recorded.
"Many people vote all their lives without electing anyone."
Great to see this in the Islington Tribune!
Difficult times call for cooperation and dialogue. But our voting system keeps giving total power to parties that only a fraction of voters support.
On 30% of the vote, one party could win full control of our economy, health, foreign policy and defence.
We can't take that risk.
Trump has already spent more in 9 days on his war with Iran than the USDA spends in an entire year on giving breakfasts to kids in school.
So much for America First.
No principles, no morality, no information, no expertise, just endlessly appeasing Trump, Putin, Netanyahu and assorted billionaires and foreign oligarchs or chasing the next headline, until suddenly colliding with reality. Bang, oof.

I wasn't intending to turn this into a thread, but it seems to have happened anyway.
It's about the great plague on our lives: the extreme wealth of a tiny number of people.
And what to do about it.
As illegal international aggression once again highlights the need for investment in renewable energy, it is crucial the govt do everything possible to protect households from bearing the brunt of surging energy prices - and to ensure no energy company profits from this war.
