The Bird has flown... and so will I. Its been fun on Twitter over the years, but "X" does not mark the spot for me.
All good things...
Goodbye (on this platform at least) to all... I wish you all well for the future ...wherever you are.

Net zero isn’t a crusade.
It has always been a proportionate and pragmatic approach to protecting our environment and economy against vast risks and costs while reducing our emissions in a way that delivers new jobs, future industries and doesn’t leave communities behind.

"Our wealth is being transferred to the super rich. The oligarchs are running the country right now and they're running it for their benefit, not the benefit of the people. There is a stench of corruption in this society."

6 months ago the courts decided that Michelle Mone owed the Government ÂŁ232,000,000.
Since then she has jetted round the world spending that money and the Conservatives have done nothing to collect it.
If it were you would be in jail awaiting trial.

I was lucky enough to be awarded a RS URF 40 years ago. The rest is history.

And again. But not Rhodes, this is Corfu, 600 miles away, in the last hour. Evacuations underway in several areas.
We are in a climate emergency and those who pretend otherwise will never be forgiven.

Baroness Owen & Lord Kempsell who have less than a decade work experience between them but who now have jobs for life making laws because Boris Johnson said so, have made the case for abolition of the House of Lords clearer than I could
