Emeritus Prof Christopher MayLatest #Tory snouts in the thought news:
National Audit Office finds that #BorisJohnson's legal bill for the #Partygate enquiry shouldn't have been paid by the Cabinet Office.
#LizTruss has already claimed over £23k of her post-PM allowance (despite having only been in post for 49 days... yes that's a £500 day 'bonus').
#30pLee using the HoC roof to publicise his GBNews show...
& that's just things in the news today!
Clyde DaviesOne of the things I dabble in is data mining. I'm quite good with getting computers to do difficult things. I also have quite strong political views and interests (although not a 'Political Person' with a capital 'P').
So I built a prototype data workflow that scrapes the entire Register of Member's Interests from the HoC, and extracts funders amounts and dates. This shows the tangled web of political funding.

We have to move away from fossil fuel use NOW. Decisively. No new fossil fuel projects, but some maintenance and perhaps closures only. Invest in mass transit. Build more protected bike lanes. Learn about and embrace degrowth economics. We can absolutely do these things w/o new tech. Demand it.

@JenniferWhiteTMPhotography Love the artwork, but not the caption, as "5 panel triptych" doesn't make sense, as "triptych" means "three panels" #pedantry

elleI met Ray Bradbury when I was seven. He said I was a little weird and he told me to go out and get weirder.
Brent ToderianI don’t hate cars. I hate surrendering our cities and our lives to them.
