.@rishisunak and @greghands it's time to show leadership in not spreading misleading claims, including about other political parties. I agree with @fullfact👇 fullfact.org/blog/2023/oct/o…

Microsoft owns the trademark for X. This is just too good.
Community note
Microsoft only holds this trademark for videogame-related services; this wouldn't affect Twitter.
However, Meta holds the "X" trademark for "online social networking services... social networking services in the fields of entertainment, gaming and application development..."

"Boris Johnson brought in ULEZ.. Grant Shapps told Sadiq Khan to extend it out.. But the Conservative government didn't give him the budget for a proper scrappage scheme like in Manchester and Birmingham."
@jemmaforte adding context to ULEZ

Those damned climate protestors walking slowly, causing havoc and delays in Rhodes this afternoon.
Oh, wait- sorry it’s the climate causing the havoc.
Mass holiday evacuations have now begun. Perhaps we should build more wind farms or something.

Dear NatWest,
I would to thank you for opening my first 🇬🇧 bank account when I came over as an Erasmus student in 1991. In September it will be 32 years. I also would like to thank you for not closing my account after Brexit even though I'm an EU citizen and I reside in ...

A new tariff has been launched by @OctopusEnergy called Intelligent Octopus Flux and it works in a similar way to the EV tariff but this time controlling your home battery!
At the moment it's just the @GivEnergy battery but more batteries will be added.

Only 31% want to continue with #Brexit!
57% said the decision to leave the EU was wrong, 32% say it was correct.
More than half - 55% - said they would vote to rejoin the EU, against 31% who said they would stay out, if a referendum were held today.

Matt Frei, "Do you think the government has gone backwards since COP26"
@CarolineLucas "That's unquestionably the case.. This is the government giving the green light to 100 new oil and gas licenses in the north sea. Giving £10 billion to fossil fuel companies. And a new coal mine. The idea of this Conservative government as a climate leader, is a bad joke."

The Tories wasted 8x as much on PPE during the pandemic as the CPTPP deal is expected to boost UK GDP over an entire decade. This is a pimple on an elephant.
The fact they're leaning on their RW media pals to inflate the story to monstrously distorted proportions is pathetic.

China just experienced its highest temperature in recorded history, topping out at an unbelievable 52.2°C (126°F).
This crushes the country's previous all-time high by 1.7°C (3°F).
