My view on the COVID pandemic is: if you think that was bad, wait til you try 3C of warming

The Odyssey is absolutely superb but I don't get all this chat about it being woke. The message is basically "men are heroes who go out on adventures while women sit at home weaving on a loom"

Lockdowns showed that states can pour massive resources into making the politically impossible happen quickly, the public will accept huge changes if they understand why they're needed, and that we should listen to scientists. Something to remember when it comes to action on climate change.

Take this as me putting something out into the ether: there is a certain popstar who I feel is suffering from an eating disorder. Her frame is skeletal and it feels like she is disappearing before our eyes. It is distressing to see 1/2

My headmaster will be residing at his majesty's pleasure for 17 years

The CEO of Weylan Yutani regrets his involvement in politics

Speaking as a former opinion writer I could not agree more. Pieces that anticipate criticisms before they've happened and try to mitigate them read like the author is having an argument with themselves.

This is fantastic news. My experience of Miatta as a junior minister and CEO of NEF is really positive - she's very smart, knows her policy brief back to front, she's clear, and principled.

Before the new DESNZ secretary is announced, I just want to share that it was a real pleasure to work with Ed Miliband. He had a clear sense of what he wanted to achieve and he and his team were straight talkers with stakeholders, and across the detail.

John Healey is chancellor

it's like the x factor final

someone just told me yamine lamal's dad was born in 1992 so if you'll excuse me I'm going to go and dig my own grave
