No, other way round. Lower paid people and pensioners less likely to drive/more likely to get the bus.
Most of my X feed is people "debating" Oxbridge (in context of the current cabinet) in the polarised binary we've come to know and love there, largely involving a seeming lack of awareness of the concept of "on average..."
The contrast with the fact he says Jewish MPs / peers (rather than eg "Jew" or "member of the tribe of Abraham" or something) made me think "so he isn't antisemitic, just islamophobic". But then...that last sentence.
I'd have thought Ref would do worse than this under STV. I thought they're the most disliked, and hardly anyone's second choice...?
For next pandemic - at the very least I hope govt take on board the recommendation from the COVID enquiry re not ruling out transmission routes until there's evidence *against*. (3rd bullet point)
I'm not sure why you shared that post with me - he's saying your rat theory is bollocks.
If you go to the Cavendish laboratory museum in the Ray Dolby Centre in Cambridge, you can see their three original instruments together. cavmag.phy.cam.ac.uk/cavmag-33/bu...
This is how much cheaper storage costs are getting year on year. (Solar similar). For any new gas and oilfields, by the time they start producing, in 5-10 years, the economic argument for them will make even less sense. bslbatt.com/blogs/curren...
That is only one metric - essentially it translates to range (for a given weight) - and for some vehicular applications people will sacrifice range for lower cost. It's a less mature technology, so it's possible (currently unknown) that it can be made to out perform Li ion in other ways 1/
"lack of interest in the job" applies to Johnson too though! This discussion, the fact he wasn't interested in what Brexit would actually look like and what to do with it, is being used as a defence here...
Dug up this from the time. (I posted it in part from seeing a post from a friend who was wavering and annoyed at being patronised by Remain canvassers. So, trying to post non-sneeringly)
I was told - confidently, by several people - that rolling back on net zero would be an election winning Tory policy. www.ft.com/content/6490... Sunak more or less tried it, making exactly that cost saving argument www.theguardian.com/politics/202... He lost by a landslide. 3/
Many like this. It is every bit as long and bad a thread as you think. It is also - as you can guess - about the middle east. But you can't tell until half way whether it's going to be justifying Oct 7th or justifying the subsequent deaths of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. (Spoiler: the latter)
My University has put out a statement on the EHRC code of practice re: Supreme Court Ruling, impact on gendered spaces. www.bath.ac.uk/announcement... I think it's a good statement.
This to me says someone who relies largely on vibes to inform their thoughts on energy policy.
My post on the alpha variant at the time. Although there was no evidence *supporting* contact transmission, there was also insufficient evidence ruling it out, so I still included soap just in case as it would have been irresponsible not to! threadreaderapp.com/thread/13416...
Wastewater epidemiology, and rock. Great combination. (Lots of fun to be involved) www.linkedin.com/posts/barbar...
Sort of heartwarming symbol of community cohesion that the three Reform candidates in our corner of Finchley seem to be of Jewish, Hindu and Muslim heritage (guessing from the names)
As a barrister she acted for MTE supporting establishment of a mosque and community centre in North London, and arguing that opposition was based on anti-Muslim sentiment
