Going to make this my pinned skeet until my TL is back under control.

My original pinned tweet is in the next post (mainly to save me typing it out again when I reinstate it!)

And, to my US friends, I'm not turning away, just turning down the volume.

Apologies to the people I'm unfollowing.

It's really not you. It's me.

My TL is 99.9% American now, which is not what I want. I need a better balance.

My own fault for following so many starter packs.

So, my apologies again.

I will still be supporting all efforts to resist trump, where I can.

Clean energy has powered Great Britain entirely for a record 87 hours so far in 2025 – up from just 2.5 hours in 2021.

Progress is accelerating, but the country still has a long way to go before reaching 100 % clean power by 2030.

Great Britain has run on 100% clean power for record 87 hours in 2025 so far

“Is peace merely the absence of war? Or is it something else that involves prosperity, democracy, and the rule of law - a framework that means conflict can be resolved in a civilised way? That seems a more enduring vision than ‘we’ve stopped shooting at each other, for now’.”

Nigel Farage says Reform UK will “differ from status quo” in Wales but it’s too early to tell you how.

It’s a re-run of their local elections.

Reform run councils have found little savings and are considering raising taxes the max they can…

Reform leader Nigel Farages says 'too early' to outline Senedd policies

The Reform leader said his party would "use every devolved power" possible to help small businesses.
