Globally, there is a massive difference between the summers of 1976 and 2022. Unless we all slash carbon pollution now, our children face a grim future.

Restore the Whip to Jeremy Corbyn, with a full apology. Corbyn was right.

@johnleedraws Reminder that in colonial view it was perceived as "lazy" but in reality many cultures managed to get most of their day done early because they knew what conditions would turn like by the time the sun was high.

It's great that the British are discovering how difficult it is to get rid of British rule

Morning @snb19692 Glad you have your speakers back. Do you by any chance have the Benny Hill music to hand?

3/ Of course the rate at which this occurs will vary from industry to industry, but even relatively subtle shifts (and I don't think we are seeing/going to see subtle shifts) can have a big effect on systems which were previously in equilibrium. Doesn't take much, in other words
