This is incredible. UK emissions fell 2.4% in 2025 as coal fell to a 400-year low. Incredibly, we used less coal last year than than in 1600, when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne and Shakespeare was writing Hamlet

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …
Dear Shabana,
Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.
This is absolutely worth a read.
Nail, meet hammer.

2/2 I will caveat that I'm by no means a Linux desktop expert... Servers are my stock in trade. :)
I've found that EOS isn't quite as bleeding edge as Cachy, but I'm not looking to extract every ounce of performance out of my system. I just want it to work.
Having moved from Windows to PopOS 1imonths ago, then a new PC meant I could try CachyOS, I've rebuilt to EndeavourOS. While Cachy is made for optimisation and all that, it gave me nothing but trouble with some games.
Since I moved to EOS, I've had no issues.

This is amazing.

Zack on the phone on the train
EXCL:
Zack Polanski overheard speaking loudly on his phone on a train saying there's shit loads of new green party members.
And the Greens are going to win elections right across England and Wales in May.

Hannah Spencer walking into Westminster, sucking her teeth, tutting, and muttering "tell you what, you've had some cowboys in here."
Well, that's embarrassing... *Gorton and Denton
Dear Gordon and Denton, you have the opportunity to show everyone how to turn the tide of disappointment and hate.
Please, please make hope normal again.
Hannah Spencer, @zackpolanski.bsky.social and @greenparty.org.uk have been putting in the hard work.
All the best for tomorrow!
The scorn John Davidson has received is disgraceful. He has Tourette's. The words he used are abhorrent. He didn't mean to say them. It's clear many of those criticising him don't understand that.
Is 'Claude' a French AI? If it is, I sincerely hope whenever you ask it anything it takes a long drag on a Gauloises, stares into the middle distance and then says something like "Ze mather hen das nat suckle 'er yoong because she saves 'er nipples for ze Weetabix ov ze farmer's wife. Non?"
Dear Lucy On the eve of the by-election, your Labour party spokesperson has admitted to the Huffington Post that a Labour party leaflet has been delivered through doors with your imprint recommending a vote for Labour by a tactical voting organisation which does not exist. This is deeply troubling, it is actually lying to voters. Did you approve this? Do you feel the Labour Party in government should be held to different standards in terms of honesty to the British public? In your last letter to me you mentioned your ‘very extensive data’ and ‘having spoken to over a third of eligible voters’ which led you to an understanding that the by election ‘was a contest between labour and Reform’. Clearly this latest development only tells voters one thing - you will employ any type of political deception (or in Urdu “Dhoka” ) to win. You will be very aware that all three real tactical voting organisations are recommending a vote for the Greens as the best way to stop Reform. Lying to the voters, as you have been caught doing, raises the real prospect that Reform will be the beneficiaries, something you have said that you don’t want. As this is such an important issue, for the sake of your own reputation, I would strongly urge you to apologise to the voters of Denton and Gorton before the polls open in the morning.” Kind regards, Zack Polanski Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales
Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,
Why did you invent a fake tactical voting company to stop the Green Party beating Reform?
I'm starting to think your letters haven't always been in good faith...
If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle.
It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get.

Today, I've inherited a record player and a stack of vinyls.
There's definitely a @garybrannan.bsky.social vibe to some of the collection.
How about "UK should launch ex-PM into the sun, say the rest of us."
We shouldn't be listening to this blithering idiot.
Something the Government want you to forget...
Today, I pretended to be Batman.
At the end of the day, I wasn't Batman, no-one else thought I was Batman, and I couldn't do Batman things.
New feature coming to Cloudlog: when you're in the logbook view, you can click Station Diary and add a note, which gets added to the main notes system.
Requested by GW4VXE.
This is important. This is why I joined the Green Party.
Zack Polanski is a breath of fresh air in our politics.
Go sign it. This matters.
The working man's Mr Darcy.
Well done :)
Probably safer to start from the basis that all billionaires are paedophiles until proven otherwise.

Devon's reaction to the video that we have all watched far too many times already is deeply moving.
