Net Zero is essential for a sustainable future. I couldn't look my nephews and nieces in the eye with any conscience if I betrayed their future. Electric vehicles are sustainable, they are the future. Supporting fossil fuels would be a betrayal.

Looking forward to this evening's Cellar Club. Missed the Omega Factor when it was first shown and I never tire of Fenella Fielding and the team. Thank you 🙏

It's no wonder the right are creating so much noise to detract from this expensive fiasco.

It's true of some newspapers here in the UK, fortunately there are many who are able to differentiate. Brexit was a low point, but things are improving slowly and the youth of today are mostly intelligent.

There's a new party led by Jeremy Corbyn about to launch, they're closer to the Greens.

Ahead of its launch conference this weekend, 12% of Britons say they are likely to consider voting for Your Party, down from 18% in July

Not only is this less than for the established parties, but it has additional caveats... / 🧵

Those comedies went out of favour because I was not alone.

1970s was a time of significant change. Fifty years is a long time, but leopards rarely change their spots. Dog whistle politics is alive and a regular tactic.

I take comfort knowing I am not alone in rejecting racism and prejudice. 2/2

It's complicated. By overvaluing a product, others buy at the higher price because they're not outliers.
Think market stall, a trader gets a few friends to start buying, this gives confidence to bystanders. Both good trades and scams work this way, it's not easy to tell the difference until after.

Value is subjective.
Investing in each others firms, with the promise of buying products is normal.
It might pay off🤞
