Thanks Keir Starmer. Your socialism has convinced me to join the Green Party. Socialist that still remember what socialism is about and still have hearts and souls.

Now a paid up member!

Good to be with you Zack
Cruel. Callous. Cowardly.

The public are seeing this Labour government for exactly who they are.

We all have a responsibility to make them pay at the ballot box.

Reject the hate. Reject them.

This is not who we are. Let's make hope normal again.

Remarkable mildness both day and night at #London Heathrow, but focusing on max we have got midway through November with not a single daily max cooler than 13.4C, no lower than teens.

This has never happened before until 2025….

The warmed 1991-2020 average November max is 11.5C…..

Meanwhile at COP30 they're bogged down in debating the term 'gender' because it seems like a good op to waste time on anti-trans issues rather than focus on the fact that women are disproportionately affected by climate change. We learn that fossil fuel lobbyists at COP30 outnumber other delegates.

Tornado next to Kilauea volcanic eruption. Pyrocumulus spawned it presumably. Is it a new phenomenon? #tornado #pyrocumulus

Living in York, is a great place to reflect on what it means to be 'British'. Founded in 71AD by the Roman Empire, Eboracum was such an important city that two Roman Emperors happened to be here when they died. The multangular tower is largely of Roman construction. @VisitYork

Some intense thundery showers moving NE through West Sussex, Surrey and London just now. Some rain gauges near Cobham recording 100mm/hr rainfall that delivered 25mm in 30 minutes. Kingston upon Thames, also affected. Streatham appears to be in the sights of a band moving NE in the next half hour.
