This is finally the good news I came here for

Tremendous.

I really hate the phrase “a cost to the treasury”. It’s not a cost to the treasury. It’s a cost to all of us. I’m fine with paying my part to end the two child benefit cap and lift 450000 children out of poverty. “The treasury” can just do what it’s told.

Darwin awards. Can’t wait for the alpine routes version

What time of day though? Pretty sure it happens after midnight, like Cinderella only it’s not carriages and ball gowns but that word that’s on the tip of your tongue or where the keys are.

I hope Amazon can achieve for 007 what they have for Middle Earth 😒　www.theguardian.com/film/2025/fe...

Use the train, save the planet. Let’s make this the easiest and cheapest choice! Excellent to have clear arguments and the economic evidence for greater and more strategic investment in rail services.

Poor Kemikaze to be the only leader rated as badly as Farage. Maybe she will be swapped out?

Elon Musk put a chip in this paralysed man’s brain. Now he can move things with his mind. Should we be amazed - or terrified? An accident left Noland Arbaugh paralysed, but Musk’s Neuralink brain implant allows him to control computers with his thoughts. Is it a life-changing innovation that could help millions – or the star...

As someone losing my sight to a degenerative eye condition I am thrilled by the possibilities of brain implant chips. But would you trust a chip from Musk?

Daily Express and Conservative Post running very similar anti-net zero talking points today. Telegraph ran with the same on Saturday. They call this news!!

Looking at the odd window and dormer shapes, I think you are right

Agree with this WEF article! Stories that highlight the benefits of environmental action in daily life are key. By focusing on cleaner air, vibrant green spaces, warmer homes, and affordable energy we can make net zero relatable and inspire action! 🌍💚

Thanks Georgie. Just done that too.

Signed but more because I love @hopenothate.org.uk and hate Elon. Would like to see a more specific action. What do you actually want government to do @hopenothate.org.uk ?

£12.50 to buy an election? That’s what Musk’s $100m donation to Reform & Farage looks like if scaled to my wealth. For him, it’s pocket change—yet it could reshape democracy. Billionaires play, we pay. Only democratic states can stop them—no wonder Musk wants to tear them down.

Woo hoo. Actual engagement. Love it here already.
