Requiring solar panels on new homes should be a no-brainer. Labour should not cede to pressure from developers who want to reduce costs
New homes must be fit for the future. That means super high insulation, energy-efficient heating, and solar as standard

Busy day ahead: off to join the @AsSIST_UK_ECR workshop to lead discussion about publishing in journals and then hosting the 2024 Andrew Webster lecture for @UoY_SATSU and @UoYSociology tonight.

OK, that’s a wrap on #EASST4S2024. Tired but also stimulated by four amazing days of talks and seeing friends and colleagues. Thanks to everyone who made it happen.
I’ve had a blast at day one of #EASST4S2024 catching up with friends both old and new, listening to some good talks, including an excellent Plenary by @alondra and Brice Laurent and reuniting with the @ssosnetwork crew. Now time to sleep before day 2.
This is an interesting and important read in light of recent events. theguardian.com/us-news/arti…
Gearing up for my talk on utopia and sociology to Year 12 students visiting campus as part of the Next Step York summer school. @UoYSociology
Amazed to see Bournemouth turn red. The place where I was once told by a former school teacher that you could put a blue rosette on a beach donkey and people there would vote for it. Incredible.
Pleased with the outcome, but the #generalection2024 results just underscore the unfairness of the so called first past the post system. But with results like this there’s no incentive for Labour to change it.

This is an incredible piece of work by @JonathanPieNews.
From the research, to the sequencing, to the performance.
You want to know why so many people are turning away from vapid MSM and looking to political comedy & alternative news? Look no further. 👇
