In the 1960s the USA spent 4% of its budget on NASA, AKA the Space Race. By comparison we are doing *very* little on our own climate. The day is coming when we'll have to go Space Race in the name of repairing and improving the climate on the objectively FAR better planet Earth. #earthgoodmoonboring
A Met Office study reveals that the chance of exceeding 40°C in the UK is accelerating at pace.
The chance of exceeding 40°C is now over 20 times more likely than it was in the 1960s.
Temperatures several degrees higher than we saw in July 2022 are possible in today’s climate. bit.ly/4lfcTU4

First time caught speeding in 45 years. 36 in a 30 zone.Genuine mistake. VERY galling when I see excessive speeding every day on the M25 all types of vehicle. Today - pick-up with trailer with 1.5 tonne digger doing over 80 I would guess and they get away with it scot-free! #doublestandards

I have one grandparent born in Britain. Yet I apologise when people crash into me, weep at Nimrod, the John of Gaunt bit, Spitfires & Gazza’s Euro 96 miss. I believe Trafalgar Day should be a bank holiday. I would cage fight anyone who disparages Wollstonecraft, Stephenson or THE Marshal.

My grandmas were immigrants, my mum & sisters in law are immigrants; my sister & nephews are migrants. My kids study maths, Shakespeare, dance, act & score tries alongside the kids of immigrants. My dad’s life was saved by immigrants. Immigrants have made us richer, wiser, stronger
