Yes. Every American should. Because over 70 million have chosen to vote for Trump 3 times and the last two times cannot reasonably have a doubt about his bad character and malign intent. And so should every U.K. citizen that is even thinking of voting for Farage - the 🇬🇧 Trump.

Very depressing news from Minnesota. Who goes to work to kill nurses in cold blood. Surely these people have wives, children and maybe a vestige of conscience ? Trump and his cronies are out of control, both domestically and on the world stage. This matters to us all. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Icy weather is an interesting way to see how highways infrastructure is being used through the winter. Late morning, and the frost is still on the untreated cycleway and pavement of our new Ringwood Road Transforming Travel route. Of course the critics claim no-one cycles. Go gingerly given icing.

Interesting morning with the Secretary of State for Transport and the Rail minister coming to Bournemouth Traincare Depot to celebrate the first trains under GBR from Sunday.

Mayor Making in Poole tonight - outgoing Mayor Pete Miles did a great job. Incoming Mayor Mark Howell has big shoes to fill, but I'm sure will be excellent. The 777th mayor of Poole, quite a portentous number.

The Populist Grift That Keeps on Giving
Trump’s insider trading scandal this week shows that right-wing populists never wanted to “drain the swamp” — they want to swim in it.

Flooding on the River Stour at Iford Bridge. Great multi-agency working, teams from @bcpcouncil.bsky.social Social Care, Private Housing, FCERM, electrician, and partners #WiltsdorsetFRS and #EnvironmentAgency working seamlessly together. Many residents stoic about moving out, some staying put.

As a Physicist, I find this a great simple explainer.

Bit of snow, and everything seems to grind to a halt, but I was out there being interviewed in it by ITN about a storm 200 years ago, and it's relevance to planned flood protection on the Poole West Quays.

Disturbed last night, told by friends that CoVID was just flu. Where did this bending of history and medicine come from ? Not gullible GB News or Daily Fail fans as far as I know. fullfact.org/health/covid...

Covid-19 is not a ‘simple flu’ - Full Fact
A Facebook post calling for an investigation into the Covid-19 pandemic falsely claims the government “knew” the virus was a “simple flu”.
