@tinamckenz @BBCBreakfast The prospect of that red sofa early in the morning really sharpens the mind and stirs up the braincells, I recall. Good to see they still have the right people on to talk sense.

@BBCBreakfast this morning. Early start in Manchester. Will be talking Trump and Tariffs 🤓 red sofa time at 7.30am

@TheExtremeMusi1 No. Nobody belongs in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame because it's nonsense.

Do you think King Crimson belongs in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame???

Deeply alarming that an MP is calling for the introduction of new blasphemy laws. Concerningly, the Prime Minister offers no defense of free expression.
MPs should uphold values which are foundational to our society - not seek to dismantle them.

During PMQs today, I asked the Prime Minister to introduce measures to prohibit desecration of religious texts and targeted vilification of all the prophets of the Abrahamic faiths. As November marks Islamophobia Awareness Month, it is vital the Government takes clear and measurable steps to prevent acts that fuel hatred in society.

@AJamesMcCarthy In this "post truth" world, when I showed a neighbour a shot of the Aurora Borealis framing her very distinctive home, her immediate response was that it was an AI fake, as she hadn't seen it for herself. FF, as they say, S.

I’m really curious if anyone is brave enough to answer this… but did you at any point think Earth was flat, and now you don’t? What made you come around?
(Here’s a photo of the sun I captured that is said to be CGI by the flat Earth community)

@Gunnersc0m Speed in moving the ball unpredictably beats opponents more effectively than predictably careful build up.

@Culture_Crit Possibly with two sticks and a long piece of string and some patient observation?

Executing such accuracy on something with a 13 acre footprint is astounding — how did they do it?
Possibly with the help of the sun on the equinox, which on that day rises exactly in the east (and sets perfectly in the west)...

Most people don't realize how mysterious the Pyramids truly are.
They're so old that Cleopatra lived closer to us than to their construction — yet Khufu's Pyramid is so precise it aligns north within 1/20th of a degree.
Some more mind-blowing facts about them… 🧵

@NeilDotObrien That's a particularly vulgar comment @NeilDotObrien

She's massively increasing your tax to spaff on Ed Miliband green projects - not surprised growth forecast is cut

@DanNeidle @rcolvile I've always been in favour of making voting in parliamentary elections mandatory, but this makes me wonder if voting should actually be restricted to those can pass a simple test about the way government actually works.
English
@rcolvile It seems trite and inadequate to say that we need more education around finance and tax. Right now I don't have any other suggestions.

New polling paints an interesting picture of the public's tax-raising priorities, and a depressing picture of the public's understanding of tax and spending.
I have no easy answers, but I do have some rather alarming charts.

@PhysInHistory It could, or not. How would you provide any evidence for it? This is otherwise just airy speculation.

Could the universe itself be a conscious entity, aware of its own expansion and evolution? ✍️

@CarlBovisNature Autocorrect has a nasty habit with "it's" when it should be left as "its". For "it is" that's fine, but for nothing else.
English
What's the most common spelling 'crime' you see regularly? 🤔
I think it might be;
There
Their
They're
You have to think when writing these, I've fallen foul a few times, although like everyone else, I blame autocorrect.... 😎😅🤣
English
@CarlBovisNature "of" instead of "'ve" ie "have". This is the only error for which I would impose capital punishment.

Do you think Rachel Reeves is going to shaft us in the upcoming budget
Yes or No?
