@JavierBlas @alexwickham More than the bank bailouts during the global financial crisis https://t.co/lCzlUxRs5A
It's amazing to see so little focus on the regulatory and policy failings that contributed to the energy crisis, compared to the financial crisis of '08. The bank bailout package cost £137bn, the energy package will likely be over £100bn. These are comparable, yet... (1/3)

Before it became a crisis, maybe better to have spent £15bn on renewable energy infrastructure and home improvement to reduce the UKs exposure to the fossil price shocks which recur every so often?

struggle to teach maths to those less gifted than themselves. It put me off participating in team sports for years, arguably for life. Now I see the same thing happening still in secondary schools, which strikes me as completely anachronistic.

It’s time schools did away with the brutal and archaic practice of “picking teams” in games. Superficially appealing because it naturally creates evenly matched sides. But for children who are not sporty, or not popular, or just not the right kind of sporty, it’s torture. 🧵

@chrisaylett @ShefUniPolitics As far as we know it was largely Rishi Sunak’s unwillingness to spend any additional money on a home retrofitting programme that explains its absence from the energy strategy today. But it then has to be added that it betrays a terrible weakness on Johnson’s and Kwarteng’s parts.

The Russian parliament has voted to make a law, one of the most draconian since the collapse of the Soviet Union, which will see protesters imprisoned for TEN YEARS for the "crime" of "making too much noise" while protesting peacefully. Oh did I say "Russian"? I meant "British".

Biochar production using grubbed orchard trees as a feedstock, to improve soil fertility and for long term carbon sequestration; just learned that our grant application for a pilot project for proof of concept has been successful. Super excited. #biochar #farming #climatechange

New Omnia Carbon Cost of Production Tool! This new Omnia tool is one of the most in-depth carbon tools on the market - allowing growers to calculate the carbon cost of their operations on a per field basis in terms of both £/tonne CO2/tonne or CO2/ha! https://t.co/DTSKEe43xq

Use @Omniaprecision to map CO2/t or CO2/ha at sub field level in the new Production Module.
“Our view is that managing carbon is not actually about carbon – it’s about managing good business...” @cpm_magazine explores Omnia’s new Carbon Module, examining its features and how it can help growers understand their true costs of crop production: https://t.co/Z7ldy61soT
