@maitlis how do you submit a question to The News Agents? Can’t seem to DM anymore?

@maitlis anyone looking into the impact on Elizabeth Line if HS2 terminates at Old Oak without additional trains or better connectivity there?

@RishiSunak Any information on how you actually implement this when schools fail at this daily ….

1/ In the UK smoking causes 1 in 4 cancer deaths. So I’m proposing changing the law so children turning 14 or younger this year can never legally be sold cigarettes in their lifetime. A smoke-free generation. None of us want our children to grow up to smoke. Here's why 👇🧵

@ProfStrachan @jhalifax @mzjacobson Are there sufficient minerals/materials to enable this and what are the consequences for the countries where these will be mined?

Excellent article Switching the world to 100% #RenewableEnergy will cost $62 trillion, but the payback would take just 6 years, writes Professor Mark Jacobson @mzjacobson #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency cleantechnica.com/2022/09/06/swi…

@campbellclaret @RestIsPolitics A shame you allowed the reframe that he and Cameron were the reasonable ones - when they opened the door to Brexit and set in motion the steady decline in public services.

So ⁦@RestIsPolitics⁩ members will already have access to LEADING interview with George Osborne. Def worth an hour of your time. Lots on austerity (we disagree) Brexit (agree) as well as his take on recent PMs and, tribalism aside, some good advice for Labour. Out tomoro

@George_Osborne @RestIsPolitics Listening to open.spotify.com/episode/2VW3Ff…. Reminds me how wrong the framing of … ‘well it was all going so well under Cameron and Osborne’

Thanks for having me on your podcast @RestIsPolitics - much enjoyed it

@DanKaszeta @campbellclaret @RestIsPolitics one to discuss on the show?

@RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret try reading about The Mental Load by Emma. amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07BD2…

@RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret sciencecampaign.org.uk/press/detail/b…. Any thoughts on this? So much for government focusing on science…

QUESTIONS REQUEST 🚨 We're recording on SUNDAY this week - didn't trade unions fight for weekends, @campbellclaret? Please send in your questions below. We're going to take the opportunity to look at some more timeless, deeper topics - so feel free to tailor your q's to that!

@campbellclaret @RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @alastair So let me get this straight - you admit your wives gift you the privilege of mucho working hours, you then say 4 day week doesn’t work for senior roles. Take on your 50% & your wives can podcast on how it is done.

@someonelizz @griffski … love this idea and at the same time the whole point of language is to communicate with each other. If things diverge too far from each other - it can become another divide between people (a divide each generation of teenagers happily creates 😂)

@griffski If you met someone with black hair, you wouldn't think "oh no do I have the wrong color hair?" you would just think "we have different colored hair." Language is a lot like that, but we've been taught that if two people speak differently, one of them must be wrong.

@KateRaworth @AndrewLFanning Can I check my understanding of this? Is Rise those countries who need to raise living standards to move out of the centre of the doughnut? Then Shift is to redirect the way we use resources? Fulfil I’m struggling with … the Reduce is use less resources?

Seeking Twitter hive mind! Names matter - so to get beyond erroneous 'developed / developing' countries, we're proposing new country clusters, in terms of their journey towards living in the Doughnut. For starters: Rise-Shift-Fulfil-Reduce. What else do you suggest?...

@CrimestoppersUK Is there ‘wanted’ sexual harassment? Such a weird way that we use language

One in six children face unwanted sexual harassment in public before the age of 10. A recent survey from the University of Suffolk, commissioned by our charity, shows the majority of respondents experienced sexual harassment by their teens. Click to learn more.

@JujuliaGrace I feel the same way about our railways. It was so exciting to see the underground embrace technology and get the capital investment it needed to run properly again … a distant memory now.

@guardian Yep definitely the way to solve widespread behavioural issues - try to ‘fix’ their people rather than the underlying toxic systems which are creating the behaviours. “employees told to be “inclusive, approachable” and “respectful at all times”.”

@BroadhurstBooks @booksaremybag But but but … how do you decorate a room without books? 🤯

I have just had a customer in the shop who does not have a TBR pile, he reads a book and when he finishes it he buys another one and he never keeps them so he has no books at home bar the one he is currently reading. I'm having trouble believing him. 🙃

Have we broken ChatGPT? It is denying access and I have an incredibly important question to ask it 😂! Anyone know who wrote “We are put here to help others. I’m not sure what the others are here for.” Google isn’t up to the job.

@OutrageOptimism @KHayhoe @ayanaeliza If you work in Construction and want a community to take action with - come join @zer0construct Free to join, #learnglobally #actlocally

If you had to recommend ONE video/book/film/article to shift people from climate paralysis to #ClimateAction, what would it be? 🤔 We'll start: @KHayhoe's TED talk on talking about climate and @ayanaeliza on finding joy in climate action (ok that was two but you get the idea)
