The government has been busy making new laws.
Lots of them. Across rail, education, planning, environment, housing...
But most people have not noticed. So, here’s a very handy roundup of progress/changes, including a full list of those new laws and which ones have already had royal assent. 👇

Someone on Threads noticed you can type any random sentence into Google, then add “meaning” afterwards, and you’ll get an AI explanation of a famous idiom or phrase you just made up. Here is mine

We'd really appreciate it if you could share action with your broader networks - including via WhatsApp. Once you've done the process yourself you will be given a whole range of sharing tools. Let's start to defund Zuckerberg!

Also, it's got nothing to do with anything our government has done. It's a mathematical consequence of the mad formula they're using as we have a trade deficit.
Other countries that sucked up (like Japan or Vietnam) got screwed by the formula.

Intrigued by this narrative that Britain has done well here.
-10% is still v significant.
-We're a big exporter of cars to the US which will be subject to 25%. Terrible for UK auto industry.
-Even if we get a deal we can't avoid the major economic shock to global trade overall.

The most impactful place for Victoria Crosses is museums in the locality where the recipients were from.
Those museums can contextualize them to their community, and give time to the story behind them. Every time I've seen that done, it's been ace.
They don't exist for Ashcroft to play Pokémon.

The news that the Imperial War Museum is closing Lord Ashcroft’s Victoria Cross and George Cross gallery is sadly not a great surprise. It’s the latest act in the ‘wokeification’ of this once outstanding museum.

🧵 on the interesting history of eggs:
