I know the local elections were seven hundred years ago in Labour-time but I thought I'd share a little app I made that lets you look at the English ward results on a map and compared to various Census demographics. Warning the map takes a bit to load. 1/n benwansell.github.io/local-election…

@SimonMagus @CrewkerneMan You mean Tracy Brabin! I spent weeks of my time helping trying to get us to beat the Kim Reaper and we got within 323 votes of doing so!

The Conservatives should absolutely contest Makerfield. We have the most popular leader, the best programme for government, and thousands of voters there who deserve proper representation, not to be used as Andy Burnham’s political springboard.

🧵 "Private ownership. State control. It's not socialism. Nobody's seizing anything. But it's not capitalism either. Because the price mechanism is being systematically overridden." @cjsnowdon on Britain's capitalist command economy. 👇

Global warming is doing less harm than predicted. Global greening is doing more good than predicted. Decarbonisation is costing more than predicted. Time to admit that we got this one wrong. We are amputating off our legs to prevent blisters on our toes.

Climate science is now moving away from the most extreme scenarios. @RogerPielkeJr explains why on our podcast: "Our expectation for future emissions has come down dramatically, largely because there was an assumption everything was going to go towards coal... Another big factor—and it’s one that really hasn’t made its way into climate projections yet—are changing outlooks on global population. The leading climate scenarios still have 12, 13 billion people on the planet in 2100 and still growing. And demographers are now seriously talking about a global population peak soon after mid-century."

In autumn 1946, a young economist from rural Tennessee arrived at the University of Chicago calling himself a libertarian socialist. By December, his entire worldview had collapsed and been rebuilt. This is the story of one of the three future Nobel laureates trained by the same professor.🧵
