The Portland frogs are multiplying. I’m watching the livestream at katu.com/watch

Three green froggies and a skeleton frog! These are inflatable costumes and some of the frogs have little capes. They’re protesting on the other side of the street from ICE.

Former Head of Comms for the IEA, Annabel Denham, says the super rich will leave if we have a wealth tax.

Yes, the very same IEA that brought us Liz Truss’ disastrous mini budget. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Green Party leader Zack Polanski explains that their taxable assets can’t leave. #bbcqt

“There might be a traitor in this circle”

Alan: *sweats profusely and looks away*

Hooray, we were kicked out of a bar near Euston (!) on a Thursday (!) after last orders at 10:30 (!!!). Like ?!?

Genuinely outstanding news, even if this news story can apparently only report on it by cramming it full of every objection imaginable. People should be able to drink as late as they please. And by 'people' I mean me.

Yeah, only 25 mins in and it feels like that. Quite levelling actually

Dr Dan @dpdormouse.bsky.social · 1d

Like I think it will actually feel fairly authentic (which was nice about the traitors) and the fact it doesn’t have like live voting etc there’s no need to “campaign” for votes or anything

Dr Dan @dpdormouse.bsky.social · 1d

I was against the celebrity traitors but it immediately strikes me as different to celebrity versions of other things. It already feels more natural than say celebrity big brother or celebs go dating etc

Also, it isn’t abolishing stamp duty in its entirety which is what the crowd will have cheered for (that would cost a lot)

Dr Dan @dpdormouse.bsky.social · 2d

Also abolishing stamp duty is already on the cards for Labour (reform to something else instead paid by the seller) so it’s not as though this is going to be a long-term headline policy for Kemi

You know you see likes like “labour accuses tories of ‘fantasy economics’” and I think they’d do better to sound more relatable and just say “their economic plan is stupid and so are they”

This is pretty grossly misleading. 90-95% of this footprint is associated w/life cycle emissions of manufacturing - and almost nothing from the use of the inhalers (see the Supp Info linked below). Should manufacturing in general reduce it's emissions? Sure, but that isn't specific to asthmatics.
