So I’ve taken a leap to the other place and while it’s not as big yet, it’s definitely nicer. So come join me! You can find me at @profsob.bsky.social

If you thought Heathrow's third runway debate symbolised everything wrong with Britain's infrastructure policy, wait till you hear about Gatwick... Gatwick has had two runways since 1979. However, due to its very British planning agreement, it is only allowed to use one. 🧵

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Improving our health and happiness is not as hard as we think it is. Nor does it have to cost a lot of money! These are 7 small things (that are completely free to do!!) that can have a transformative impact on the quality of our lives when done regularly: 1. Prioritise meaningful relationships - the quality of your relationships hugely influences the quality of your life 2 . Have a daily practice of solitude - in a world where we are constantly being bombarded with more information, it is essential that you spend a bit of time each day with your own thoughts getting to know yourself 3. Go for a walk every lunchtime - this can help reduce stress, increase creativity, enhance focus and expose you to natural light, which in turn can help you sleep better 4. Stop taking things personally - this is a skill that I would highly recommend you work on. Even a small improvement here will have a transformative effect on your health and happiness! 5. Judge yourself and others less - this will help you engage with the world in a much more compassionate way. 6. Listen to an uplifting podcast each week - if you choose the right ones, podcasts can be uplifting, educational and transformative. Find one that you enjoy and listen to regularly. (Feel, Better, Live More is pretty good if you need a recommendation ;)) 7. Acknowledge one thing you're grateful for each day - a regular practice of gratitude can do wonders for your mental health and general sense of wellbeing. What do you think? What would you add? And, if you want more practical advice on how to make changes that actually last this year, check out my BRAND NEW BOOK 'Make Change That Lasts: 9 Simple Ways To Break Free From The Habits That Hold You Back'.

This is a terrible decision - we are already massively underrepresented compared to our European counterparts and a move to full unitarisation will mean more remote decision-making (in the name of devolution - doublespeak) and poorer service delivery.

@itsrapha83 And January! I had the good fortune to spend a month in beautiful Leuven on a research visit, but a misfortune that this month was January. No students equal no life, which means in my view it should score a bit lower.

Leuven: 9/10 Leuven is a city that I am genuinely honoured to call home. It’s a beautiful, lively(except for weekends and summer) student city with a rich history. It has many memorable sites like the Oude Markt, the Great Beguinage, St. Peter’s Church and its most famous landmark, the Town Hall. The city is also home to one of the oldest catholic universities in Europe as well as the headquarters of Stella Artois. If you’re ever in Leuven be sure to wonder around its beguinage and have a beer(or more) in one of the dozens of bars in Oude Markt.

With all due respect, piss right off. Of course they ‘only relieve the symptoms’. Thats what they’re for. And, frankly, if you’re having an attack, the environment can wait…. GPs told to stop prescribing blue inhalers that harm the planet thetimes.com/article/9abf8c…

🚨Are 3 new by-elections coming our way?🚨 By my reckoning, 3 MPs didn't follow the swearing-in procedure correctly & shouldn't be voting - Ben Maguire, Liz Saville Roberts, and Torcuil Crichton. They could all face a £500 fine and have to vacate their seats.

Years ago, in the 1990s, me and my boss were looking at a client's rental accounts. He asked was I sure about the mortgage repayments. I said I had checked them with the bank. "They can't be less than the rent," he said, "That never happens. Not on a 90% mortgage." Seems like...

One enormous benefit of the new government is how much nicer watching #PoliticsLive is. Seems like less aggression and shouting over each other. It’s like there’s less criticism, but it seems more civil. Or is it just me?
