@MatthewStadlen No.

Can we all now agree that greenifying British energy is unbelievably important for both the cost of living and national security?

@Keir_Starmer “Tolerance is the virtue of the man without convictions”

Offensive and wrong. Britain is a proud, tolerant and diverse country. Jim Ratcliffe should apologise. news.sky.com/story/the-uk-h…

@SamaHoole How about the amount of Iodine they consume via seaweed intake? Id be surprised if it’s not a factor.

Japan: Longest life expectancy globally (85 years) Plant-based advocates: "See? Rice and vegetables!" Japan's actual diet: - Fish consumption: 53kg per capita annually (highest in developed world) - Pork: Second most consumed meat - Chicken: Third most consumed - Beef: Expensive but eaten regularly - Eggs: Daily - Dashi (fish stock): Base of nearly every dish Percentage of Japanese protein from animal sources: 50% Their longevity is attributed to rice while ignoring that they eat more fish than almost anyone and put fish stock in literally everything. The meal is fish. The rice is just there to soak up the dashi. But acknowledging this would require admitting that eating primarily animal protein leads to longevity. Can't have that conversation. Better to focus on the rice.

@Glinner Try ‘Studies in the Sermon on the Mount’ by Dr D Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Now I want to read CS Lewis and other Christian writers. (#ripcharliekirk) Chesterton too if one can wave the smell of his then-fashionable (and fashionable again!) antisemitism off the pages

@Rainmaker1973 Mouse likely infected with Toxoplasmosis

Hawk didn’t even have to try.

@susie_dent Is it also the collective term for politicians?

Word of the day is ‘immiseration’: the act of making people progressively more miserable.

@Bbmorg One lot wants to make a living producing your food, and the other wants you to die cold and hungry.

What’s the difference between hundreds of tractors blocking roads in central London and six climate protesters doing the same? Five years in prison.

@wrb91 This is way *cooler* than anything Just Stop Oil did

This is way more selfish than anything Just Stop Oil did

@historyrock_ Malcolm Jones

Thoughts on this list? Who’s missing?

@RichardDawkins Reproduction, hands down.

What is the most amazing biological process in the human body?

@ThrimbyFarms Vanquish

Who doesn’t like a red and white bull?? Need a name beginning with V ?? My idea of V hunter got an eye roll.

@metoffice No it won’t.

It may not be very warm today but the sun will still damage unprotected skin 👇

This one of your brilliant scientists Gary? Don’t automatically outsource your thinking to people just because they call themselves a scientist. A bit of critical thinking isn’t a bad thing 😉

@EdinvaleFarm Given the sole of grass you’ve got there, I’d hazard a guess that your soil is ‘too’ fertile. Grass is too competitive.

😭 Not sure what has happened but my MSS is now just a SSS! Real lack of persistence in the herbs and legumes that were in here. Bad management? Climate?

@HolyroodDaily He’s gutted as they had intended to go much further

Patrick Harvie, whose party opposed the appointment of Kate Forbes as deputy first minister, has said the new government is taking Scotland "back to the repressive values of the 1950s". bit.ly/44ywB5U

@CllrAlexCatt @scottishgreens The disinterest shown by Kate Forbes here is merely representative of the majority. You’re showing your true colours with rank comments like this tho, hate filled, spiteful and envious, you’re exactly what you accuse others of being.

@BARRA72 Logic weedwiper, glyphosate at 20:1 dilution, apply when fronds are nearing full extension - wipeout.

See this bastarding stuff is back ….

it is still not warm enough to venture outdoors without a thick sweater, but already the weather maps are suggesting a heatwave telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/05/0…
