β€œI said that we support their actions. I never said we should join.” - I mean, among other things, this doesn't actually rebut 'you are complaining about the energy costs caused by a war you support?' question.

Deep Dive 10/03/2026 – Unwrapping the present forecast – Met Office weekly weather forecast UK This is an in-depth Met Office UK Weather forecast for the next week and beyond. A positive North Atlantic Oscillation will dominate the UK’s weather during the next few days and beyond. But what…

A positive North Atlantic Oscillation is set to take charge of our weather in the coming days - but what does that actually mean? 🌬️ 🌦️
How will it shape the days ahead? and how long could it stick around?
Met Office meteorologist Aidan breaks it down in this week’s deep dive.

Cheshire Women’s Institute branch to close in solidarity with trans women A Cheshire Women’s Institute branch has announced it will close at the end of March after members voted overwhelmingly to suspend the group in protest at the national organisation’s exclusion of trans...

So sad, and so unnecessary. We offered a legal indemnity, against all legal risks, to the leadership of Women's Institute, and Girlguiding, so they could continue to include all women.

Both declined.

Kind of bizarre that there is a genuine comparison you can make between tories and labour in that the tories opened several regional gender clinics (right?) and Labour have done everything they can to remove access to healthcare for trans people

The very first paper in the very first review (Allen et al
2019) found a huge decrease in suicidality, from 45% of subjects suffering from suicidality prior to HRT, to just 13% after, p<.001. But it didn't test for boys and girls separately, so this result appears in neither of the relevant reviews.

Hannah Spencer: Green MP gets police escort from violent demo The Green Party MP was put into a waiting police car after a demonstration turned violent in Manchester.

Fwiw, they've just posted the story:

Most people have both oestrogen and testosterone in their bodies, which makes a nonsense of the β€œcross sex” bit. You’re just getting more of what you already have

This is separate to another health fiasco where they (1) forgot to send a referral for 2 weeks; only did so after I emailed repeatedly and called them to say they’re wrong (2) booked an β€˜urgent’ appointment for 5 weeks after that, and (3) cancelled that appointment and rebooked it for 2 weeks after

Strange. You'd think that the British people would be persuaded by such compelling arguments as 'we don't have a plan for regime change but a friend of a friend does' or 'Keir Starmer smells!'

I am currently awaiting a medical testing kit I have been assured has been posted, but I think it’s been a month now and it still hasn’t turned up (and I believe they have sent a second one which still hasn’t)…and with Royal Mail!

Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..

Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.

This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.

44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

We are in a CoL crisis and it has driven a lot of voting patterns. If you show you are in support of someone making that worse, you will lose votes

Similarly, when people on the UK go to the petrol station and see the papers saying β€œKemi and Farage say support Trump” they will simply turn against Kemi and Farage for supporting Trump
