Zack Polanski is right again. The Tory party was known as the cruel party. Reform has rapidly claimed that title too. Labour are doing everything they can to out do the Tories. If Reform gain power there will be innocent deaths
Only the Greens offer a kinder, fairer and more equitable alternative.

Trump started it.
Reform and Tories are at it too.
And Labour already heading in that direction.
All cruel, potentially deadly and does nothing to fix the cost of living crisis.

🧵Happy New Year! 2025 ended up being a decent year for marine mammal paleontology - loads of new fossil whales and dolphins, a couple of sea cow studies, but a bit light on pinnipeds and archaeocetes. Read my new blog here, and this thread for some of this year's highlights! 🧪🐬🦖

Remember when Elon Musk and Donald Trump ended almost all foreign aid, terminated cancer studies, gutted American scientific research, fired thousands of government workers?
It saved no money. None. It only caused pain and cruelty.

"Ghost Ranch block" (Triassic Chinle Formation), preserving numerous Coelophysis dinosaurs and other reptiles. This block is in collections of the Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff, AZ USA. 16 of these blocks were distributed from New Mexico to museums and schools in the 1980s. #fossilfriday

Liz Truss’s unfunded taxcuts (and witholding of ind analysis) spooked the markets & doubled my mortgage payments from £1k/mo to £2k/mo.
Now she spends her own PM pension touring podcast studios babbling demonstrable nonsense.
People love to pretend it's not that^^.

No secret that there's a lot of amazing stuff at AMNH. Some of my favorites are these massive chimneys recovered from hydrothermal vents of the Juan de Fuca Ridge, more than a mile beneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean.

For this #FossilFriday, it's unsurprisingly Spinosaurus as I gear up to the publication of my new book with @markwitton.bsky.social on this most controversial of dinosaurs and the other spinosaurs. It's out in just a couple of weeks (in the UK, Jan 2026 elsewhere).
