If the Artemis II mission astronauts pick up a faint ambient transmission on the Backside of the Moon… don’t worry, that’s just us. 🌑

Awful climate denial from Labour. Such a disappointing and short-sighted decision. Fossil Fuel lobby wins again, more profits for them & bills keep rising
Caroline Lucas@CarolineLucas
A terrible decision, and one which will do huge damage to the Government's climate credentials. As Ed knows, this drilling won't lower bills, but instead it sends a clear message that Britain won't be a world leader on ending oil and gas exploitation

The government consultation on banning so-called 'trail' hunting is open. We get one shot to get this right, to end this barbarism for good. There is no rush to respond. The consultation runs until June 18th. Our guidance on how to respond here:

After the catastrophic spill of toxic plastic beads into Camber Sands, water minister Emma Hardy wrote to water companies to ask how many are using plastic beads in their sewage treatment centres. She got a response but @DefraGovUK won't share it. Surely ppl deserve to know

They STOPPED teaching the 🏴 ANGLO-SAXON 🏴 STORY.
Here’s a brief introduction to it. 🧵
Fifteen hundred years ago, England didn’t exist.
Angles. Saxons. Jutes. Open boats across the North Sea. They carved the island into seven warring kingdoms. ⚔️
But they built. Churches. Laws written in English, not Latin. Shires, your county was drawn by their hands over a thousand years ago.
Then the Vikings came. And nearly ended everything.
By 878, every kingdom had fallen. Every king had fled or died.
Except one. A 28-year-old hiding in a marsh called Alfred.
He fought back. Built fortified towns. Retook London. Wrote a legal code. Translated books into English.
He wanted a nation that could think, not just fight.
His daughter commanded armies. His grandson became the first King of all England. 927 AD. 👑🏴
In 1066, the Normans destroyed them. For 200 years, the English were ruled by people who didn’t speak English.
But the Normans couldn’t kill what the Anglo-Saxons built.
The language survived. The shires survived. The common law survived.
The idea that a king answers to his people.
That survived.
It became Magna Carta. Parliament. The jury. Us.
Every word you’re reading right now is rooted in Anglo-Saxon English.
Next year, England turns 1,100. Most people don’t even know it has a birthday. 🏴
We’re going deeper.
Follow so you don’t miss it. 🇬🇧🙏
What were you taught about the Anglo-Saxons at school? Or were they just… skipped?

Climate change has ruined UK winters.
The pattern we have today would likely have brought about widespread significant snow & blizzards in the 80’s. Alas, we have lots of rain and some hill snow instead.
Battleground snowfall scenarios in the UK are becoming increasingly rare along with sustained cold & snowy conditions, especially for lowland southern England, as the planet continues to warm our winters will only get milder and snow will continue to become more restricted / rare.
It seems to get proper cold, snowy conditions we need a major splitting SSW.
On paper, this winter should have delivered. There has been ample amounts of blocking but the cold as been significantly lacking.
Teleconnections & background drivers, including the stratosphere has favoured blocked & cold conditions throughout much of this winter, the blocks have developed, the cold has not.
What an awful state of affairs, very real world evidence of climate change.

@Met4CastUK Yup, cold rain is the best we can hope for in the south.

Thank you, Sly. You ran the clock in my life more than any other drummer. Still will. Peace a love to family and friends.
