Everything you need to know about the average British voter is Ed Davey’s score.
Opinium@OpiniumResearch
🚨 Latest Opinium @ObserverUK poll 🚨 Leader ratings remain negative across the board, although Starmer recovers some ground. Keir Starmer: -42 Nigel Farage: -17 Kemi Badenoch: -11 Zack Polanski: -10 Ed Davey: -4

@GyllKing @KishwerFalkner @SexMattersOrg If yiu could provide a quote from the actual judgement rather than from the losing party's website, this would be more informative. Which paragraphs should I read?
English
@FritzP85 @KishwerFalkner @SexMattersOrg Have you negotiated the awkward reality that the Judge rejected the GLP claim in part because they said the interim guidance proposed a ‘bathroom ban’ & Swift ruled that the EHRC was not about bathroom bans even though the EHRG guidance led to such bans?
Might be tough for you.

I am tweeting for the first time since 2022 because today’s judgment was a personal vindication. I’m absolutely delighted, and grateful to the wonderful team who helped us to get this right.
English
@GyllKing @KishwerFalkner @SexMattersOrg The quotations in this thread would appear helpful. x.com/akuareindorf/s…
Akua Reindorf KC@akuareindorf
It is, of course, 100% true. GLP lost on standing, and the other Claimants lost on every substantive ground. Jolyon also refers to the “fact” that the judge “has agreed with [GLP] about service provision outside the workplace”.../2

@GyllKing @KishwerFalkner @SexMattersOrg I think quotations from the judgement, rather than the website of the losing party would be more effective evidence of your claim.
English
@KishwerFalkner @SexMattersOrg Actually you were wrong and the court was quite clear about that.

My son absolutely loves trains. Can’t get enough of them - his ideal afternoon is watching videos of them on TV while playing with brio trains and a Duplo train station.
What are the best things to do in London with him? We’ve been to the transport museum and I’ve taken him to watch them at Denmark Hill station (where the drivers often toot their horns at him, which he loves). What else might he enjoy?

@rwb69 @Scott_Wortley Single Transferable Vote in multi-member constituencies.
Français
@Scott_Wortley Genuine question, but should we change the system because we don’t like the result? If the answer is yes, then should we change FPTP and what should we change both systems to?
English
(1/3 of the vote - 60 seats from 129. Holyrood PR in action. Is the system really still fit for purpose?)

First @YouGov poll for Holyrood elections shows SNP in clear lead with Reform opening up a five-point gap over Labour Constituency: 🟡SNP 34 🔵Reform 20 🔴Lab 15 🔵Con 10 🟠LibDem 10 🟢Green 9 List: 🟡SNP 29 🔵Reform 20 🔴Lab 15 🟢Green 12 🔵Con 11 🟠LibDem 9

@willieckerslike Crucially, both examples are a *white* BMW, which I often encounter stuck to my bumper while I'm doing the speed limit on any given road
English
@benjamin_harrop Given redacted material (which I understand the need for), how do you work out whether the material needed to be redacted to prevent identification, or has just been redacted for the sake of obfuscation?

🚨SG confirm that they will not comply with the SIC's extended deadline in regards to SIC decision 281/2025.

@Jordan_W_Taylor Very true. When our first came along, our outgoings actually dropped! (Fewer nights out, obviously!)
English
Since this thing has been doing the rounds: It's obviously silly, because what kids mainly cost you is time, not cash. What these lads mean is that they can't have kids while they both work jobs that keep them in the office till 6pm or 7pm every night.
It's time, not money.
Telegraph Money@MoneyTelegraph
🗣️ 'We felt we had done everything right in life' Max Griffiths and wife Nicole – both work in the tech sector on salaries of £125,000 and around £100,000 respectively – have fallen victim to the cliff-edge tax that's forcing middle-class families to take desperate measures. Read their story ⬇️ telegraph.co.uk/money/tax/news…

@HarksenNiels @Jordan_W_Taylor That's my hope as well, but in environments where we need things to be kick started financially, we need to get buy in on all merits. High temperatures also introduce fun with materials as we found on AGRs in the UK, though I'd hope we've moved on a bit now!
English
@FritzP85 @Jordan_W_Taylor My expectation (and hope) is that some breeder reactors like LFRs will be worth it economically on their own merit die to higher thermal efficiency and simplifications of safety systems, with breeding as a bonus.
English
I'm currently deep-diving the gas cooled fast reactor, where Eastern Europe leads development, and wow!
Closed fuel cycle, mad high temperatures, helium cooling, ceramic matrix composite fuel cladding, Brayton cycle generation and minimal thermal inertia. What could go wrong?
English
@Jordan_W_Taylor @HarksenNiels But this is the endless issue. When world uranium prices rise, so does interest in fast reactors. When the uranium price falls, interest in fast reactors drops too. A shame as closing the nuclear fuel cycle would be highly beneficial
English
@HarksenNiels I'm having a hard time figuring it out. All I can think of is a scenario where high temperature hydrogen generation (for zero carbon or circular economies) is in demand, combined with a global shortfall of Uranium fuel.
Basically a fortress-mentality reactor: A bit too niche.

@PhillipsPOBrien For many, I think this is not so much deliberately misleading others, but rather a triumph of hopeful optimism over experience
English
For those deliberately misleading people tonight that a Trump retweet means he is souring on Putin, please cast your mind back almost a year ago to this Trump tweet threatening Putin. It’s a regular tactic Trump used to trick fools. There are sadly lots of them.
English
@Jordan_W_Taylor @RealDianeYap Entertaining toddlers between Christmas and new year (when many weather-appropriate entertainments slam shut) is its own challenging ordeal
English
@RealDianeYap Probably, because diaper/ nappy changing is by far the easiest bit. It only gets tricky when they're at that special age where they can pressure-hose the poo up their own backs at 3am.
English
When these men say “I’d do anything for my kids” they mean [thing I will never have to do] and never [tedious chore that has to be done multiple times every day].
Yeah, he’ll nuke a continent, but will he change all the dirty diapers?
christoph@Halalcoholism
I knew a guy whose kids were removed from his care, who said to me, “I’d do anything for my kids. I’d kill for my kids.” He seemed to think this would reassure me he was a good parent, as opposed to someone who felt compelled to advertise a willingness to commit acts of violence.

@willieckerslike The religious inclinations of the Pontiff will be the subject of an urgent statement on Wednesday

What next from that great fount of all wisdom? Ursine creatures defecate in leafy areas?

@MrsHanratty08 Glad to hear it - there's nothing better than for children than reading. Whole new worlds for them.

Fancy spreading to Christmas cheer to our small school? Check out our wishlist amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls… . Everything that has been purchased off our list has been used, appreciated and loved by all the children and staff! ❤️ Would save me some time entering all the competitions 🤣

@billjessup @DanNeidle @craiginscotland That's a fair point, but diry on public chargers might have been a more logical equivalent to fuel duty

Bad news for anyone thinking of responding to the consultation on the new electric vehicle duty.
The consultation opens today, and closes last March.
