I’d love to see the fire risk assessment for this Chase & Status gig. 🔥

Could you ever have imagined you would see a headline like this in your lifetime

Privatisation is the fundamental reason why water is in crisis.
The only other country with fully privatised water is Chile. We’re a global outlier, clinging to a failed Ponzi scheme while our rivers choke and bills rise.
It’s time to bring water back into public hands.

Wow. Wow.

Oh TUI you can do better than this.

The CrossCountry Train from Mcr to Devon is quite the ride today. Groups of middle-aged men singing, teenagers standing in the aisle on the phones and everyone appears to be supping a can of strong lager at 10am. Oh I do like to be beside the seaside…

Nationalisation an option for British Steel, says government There are fears among ministers that the company's blast furnaces could run out of raw materials within days.

UK govt considering nationalising British Steel.

Better than handing billions of free money to private foreign companies.

Can't succeed without ending profiteering by energy water sectors, which inflates industry cost.

If steel can be nationalised why not water and energy. They are essential too.

“They’re just not good enough”. Exactly, I recently test drove a Ford Explorer EV, a Volvo EX30 and a Kia EV3. The Ford was good, but it just wasn’t good enough. And just too big.

The Kia EV3 is great. #EV

A point not made enough: the UK runs a trade goods deficit with the US so shouldn’t be paying any tariffs at all based on the White House formula (10% is not a “win”).

2) Trump has had the same impact on economic uncertainty as a global pandemic.

Someone (Dot) has scarcely left my lap since I got home this morning. A week is a long time in kitty world.

Day two in Spain and my diet has gone a bit beige/yellow. Bread, potatoes, fried dough, eggs & cheese. Red wine is providing a little variation. This vegetarian needs some greens!

A white woman holds an enormous mop in one hand, with the other arm raised as if to flex a bicep. She is standing in a corridor of a heritage building with peeling wallpaper.

A group of people are standing on the balcony of an empty heritage pool. There are beautiful stained glass windows and ornate ironwork roof trusses, balconies and cubicles.

A day well spent with the volunteers for the #VictoriaBaths #BigClean2025
The volunteers did all the hard work cleaning the historic pool buildings ready for our events season to kick off this weekend. Hope they all had some fun whilst they helped maintain some of Manchester’s finest heritage.

🧵Censor, purge, defund - how Trump is following the authoritarian playbook on science & universities.

This isn't chaos - it's deliberate & well-established methods.

I've mapped 40 actions into 3 categories covering attacks on science, attacks on universities and international collaboration.
