A faint glimmer of hope. Rupert Lowe is one of the few competent politicians who is actually focused on solving problems rather than pointless arguing in the Westminster bubble. @RestoreBritain_ & @SpeechUnion are having real, positive impact on the issues we are facing

@WSWayland Feels especially pointless when you look around and see what that tax money is and isn't spent on....

Building anything that can achieve taxation escape velocity in 🇬🇧, where can both run a small business & pay your self a decent wage is becoming increasingly difficult. It feels almost pointless.

A government confident in its mandate doesn’t fear words. When power criminalises dissent, it confesses weakness—and invites abuse.

And they say that cow farts are a problem for the environment…

The EU is battling high energy costs because of renewables Yet, they have the temerity to claim they will reduce power bills with more renewables Renewables are the problem: as they only work sometimes, they necessitate backup, which means paying for... x.com/BjornLomborg/s…

@JoshRVogel To the players about where to stand, who to pass to & just about every decision in the game

This too 🙌🏻

Via Negativa. I've found similar. Reduce complexity & focus on doing the fundamentals really well. Especially good for those with high academic loads. Monotony isn't a problem because of the results & improvements. Too many Youth programs are overly complex & under loaded

Great quote from JK in here: "If I don't know why then I shouldn't be telling you to do it" Interesting thoughts around cultural differences in players attitude to questioning too

Really enjoyed this new pod hosted by my mate @JKHockey_ talking to @DarrenCheesman. Fascinating chat about the importance of connection & dealing with people who see things differently to you. Sparked lots of thoughts 🤔 open.spotify.com/episode/4F04LI…

Spot on by @Nigelrefowens.

It was amazing to go into St. Urbans Catholic Primary School, Leeds to present Skillabus prizes to the children. What a fantastic School! skillabus.co.uk

Gas currently generating over 60% of our electricity, wind a mere 1.5% — a fraction of what we’re having to import, which is currently 12% of our electricity needs. But, of course, come January 2030 we won’t need any of that gas …
