🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Manchester City found guilty on virtually all charges relating to breaches of Premier League financial regulations. #MCFC expected to appeal against verdict issued by independent commission. Sanctions undecided, process ongoing @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/7049721…
And a fab chat it was too. Here’s a snippet.
I enjoyed being the guest on the 'Your Brain On Climate' podcast with @powellds, a chance to talk in depth about the importance of numeracy when dealing with emotionally charged topics like climate change yourbrainonclimate.com/18176…

affective polarisation in action.
It's sometimes said that, for voters, the cause of climate change/Net Zero has become associated with hectoring, middle class puritans and so on.
This is not true - neither with voters overall nor swing voters. It's only true for a core of Reform voters.

Last I looked, a forest is a forest. Don't recall ever walking through a forest and thinking "wow, I love what they've done with this net zero forest".
What next? Pejorative use of net zero peatland restoration? Sinister net zero insulation of homes?
that purchase of twitter looks like better value for money day by day

Why do we need to tell a more ordinary climate story? Our Senior Advocacy Manager, @powellds, explores in this new piece: climateoutreach.org/a-more-o…

The impact this would actually have on food security is so minuscule as to be laughable. Anyone actually serious about improving food security would be looking at encouraging people to eat a bit less meat, investing in more climate resilient agriculture, and banning golf courses.
We must ban solar farms on prime agricultural land.
Solar panels are for roofs, not for farmland.
Our countryside and food security is precious.
