'As men in balaclavas try to stop lifeboats saving people, something different is happening on the coast of North Devon. In a community changed by an asylum hotel, new friendships are being forged – and a group of refugee schoolgirls are learning to surf like the locals.' 🏄🏽‍♀️ youtu.be/cP5JCtqOgnM?...

My real complaint is that we all have to be categorised. I feel some englishness, some britishness, (along with danishness, indianness) and how much I feel changes from day to day. And that's for me to decide, not some other rando.

So if you’re a Reform voter you don‘t Like migrants as they’re in low paid jobs and don’t pay as much tax. You also don’t like children of migrants because they do better than white kids in school and end up getting better paid jobs and consequently pay more tax.

I made this point even before the last general election, that if you want Green/left policies you neeed to vote Green, else Labour assume your vote is safe and look to attract the conservative side.

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 20/08/2026
The toxic air our children were breathing was stunting their lungs. For too many young Londoners, that was the reality before the ULEZ. New independent findings show their lung health has improved significantly in Central London. That’s the difference cleaner air can make.

I recently spent a night at an Aberdeen airport hotel. Full of men travelling alone, to be going out to the rigs offshore. I also stayed a night at Billund Airport hotel, in Denmark. Spent the evening in the bar with lots of wind turbine engineers. I guess we know who's better set for the future.

Utterly shameful. 'Since 2013, 250,000 badgers have been killed in England – half the national population. Lord Krebs, who chaired the original trial team, stated in 2012: "The scientific case is clear as can be: this cull is not the answer to TB in cattle".' yorkshirebylines.co.uk/news/environ...

I have my smart meter now and it's great. Allowed me to switch to an agile tariff. I use electricity when it's cheap. Halved my bills.

Jas M 🇬🇧 🇩🇰 🇪🇺 @jazzym.bsky.social · 12/05/2026
I've just figured out, you can keep prices coming down by adding tariffs and then removing them again and again. Infinitely cheap goods on the way!

We have just bought a second all-electric. And on an 'agile' tariff we sometimes get PAID to charge them. Our electricity bills are down.

Yes, electricity does get charged at the price of gas generated electricity (government says it will review). But the problem at service stations is also the huge markup. Free market will help as more suppliers set up to cope with the demand. That's what I mean by infrastructure problem.

Jas M 🇬🇧 🇩🇰 🇪🇺 @jazzym.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
I'm in the UK and switched to fully electric. Love it. But infrastructure must improve. I charge at home, cheap! 10p/unit. But we make occasional 440mile trips. Chargers on the way have queues, don't always work and are expensive 90p/unit (little saving over diesel). 8 hour journey becomes 11 hours.
