    It seems that ever since the pandemic eased, the #toriesOut played their own internal psycho-drama and just warehoused every single issue the country at large was facing....

    Even to the extent of fixing income tax thresholds for years to come rather than confront the tax/spend issue honestly. And then claiming to be "the party of low tax" rather than the lying bastards they are....

  2. @statsguy @jschwa1

    Whatever happened to that "North-South" report? That proposed that the wealthy nations spend x% on helping the poorer world develop?

    Our aid budget now consumed in housing asylum seekers in the UK - a total abuse of the fund and typical of the nasty dishonest #toriesOut

    I disagree on the accommodation issue - unless the state controls where unauthorised migrants live the fallout would be #reformUK will gain votes, the #toriesOut would move right and #labour would lose to a hard-line right wing opponent in 2029

    And some migrants are bad actors - it would increase crime

  4. @statsguy. Hmmm. It's very strange. The Dispatch is a #conservatives organization founded by #JonahGoldberg, #StephenHayes et al. Why and how on earth they are fact-checking #Instagram posts is beyond me. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Disp

  9. CW: Ukraine war

    @statsguy

    I think we have to be a bit realistic - the UK has little it can do directly to help #ukraine in fighting this war other than supply weapons, sanction #russia and support international courts

    TBF to the narcissist compulsive liar who even the #toriesOut had to turf out of power when the smell of corruption got too strong, he & his successors were supportive of #ukraine - I am not sure there is much more #labour can do

  10. @statsguy

    So many of the first world's troubles stem from our innate inabiity to accept not everyone thinks like I do, and I am not "right" in all my attitudes to life....

    There is always a right-wing in politics. Currently the growing element of it is the "culture wars" populist one - I guess she fell for it

    The balloon the #frogEyedGrifter has blown up will pop at some point - let us hope that happens soon & befiore they inflict yet more damage

  11. @statsguy @davidpnice @harriettmb

    Ahh..The Sun! What a rag that 'paper' truly is. Also, the reason why Liverpool never falls for the bullsh1t #Neverbuythesun #justicefor97

    I agree look at the influence of the rags on the people to vote against their own interests by telling them to support #Brexit

    Thanks for sharing your journey and it's delights.
    Disrupting the 'normal' of #AcademicTravel one journey at a time 👏👏

  13. New blogpost: wet bulb temperatures, part 2.

    It turns out that identifying episodes of extreme humid heat isn't as easy as it seems at first glance, as it's sometimes hard to be sure if extreme weather observations are genuine or a result of faulty instruments.

    I do my best to sort the wheat from the chaff.

  14. @statsguy These data being human-readable shall be most informative! Given the trajectory we're on I can only see such #WT35C events occurring more and more frequently... People need to able to see that.

  15. @statsguy The former, as per the Raymond paper. Thanks so much for delving into this!

    #WT35C

  16. @statsguy I most definitely don't! As they say, this I leave as an exercise for the reader.

    #WT35C

  17. @statsguy All of this is way, way beyond my skill set —it's easy to come up with great ideas! That said, #WT35C has oft been hit, albeit briefly and locally: Persian Gulf... "Other >31°C hotspots in the weather station record emerge through surveying the globally highest 99.9th TW percentiles: eastern coastal India, Pakistan and northwestern India, and the shores of the Red Sea, Gulf of California, and southern Gulf of Mexico". ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/

    Well I think a few #HGVdrivers did well out of it - and many in #construction - assuming they were not trying to work/

    and of course various #disasterCapitalists

  19. CW: Covid reinfection risks

    @statsguy @Texan_Reverend Yes that's it. We can say the cumulative population burden of #LongCovid grows with #reinfections but not necessarily risk per infection per person (not seen convincing evidence on that).
