@Juggling With Eggs

Late Gen X. Adopted city Norwich, started out life in Dorset. Juggling twins, hearing aids, politics and climate concerns. Partial to dramatic landscapes, Wes Andersonesque architecture, unsung historical figures and Peanuts cartoons. Do we all get better at juggling or do we acknowledge some balls are just too precious to drop?

Am I the only person who when they heard that the current happiest folk in the whole of the UK live in Richmond Upon Thames, instantly visualised rich boomers who don’t care about living under a flight path, because they can afford to catch flights regularly and don’t care about their impact…

These Rightmove surveys are also very self selecting too, no?

Another day…and I have to explain again to my kids why famous men got away with such terrible behaviour in the noughties.

Women were silenced and not listened to.

They want to be reassured that things have changed.

Have they?

It’s quite something that #Burnham ‘s #Labour party seems to be less in favour of financially supporting the electorate in reducing their carbon emissions than #Sunak ‘s #Tories which scrapped VAT on retrofit measures such as #SolarPanels and #Heatpumps

The evidence mounts by the day that this government is captured by the #FossilFuel lobby.

If it scares you, boost and vote #Green

I was listening to Times Radio this afternoon and heard an interview with Rosamund Urwin in which she detailed what #RussellBrand ‘s barrister, Ian Winter had said to her immediately after the trial concluded, but also how his interrogation of the victims was pre #MeToo in terms of its tone that made it sound more like they were in the dock than Brand.

It really showed how hard it is even in 2026 to hold men of privilege to account. There is still much to be done.

It’s worth reading whole article, but this succinctly states why the #Democrats won and the #AIBubble burst is good:

‘ #BigTech playbook:privately lobbying and publicly railing against regulations, while rapidly deploying unproven and not-yet-legal technologies. Companies such as #Uber, #Amazon, #Meta and #Alphabet have used elements of this model to reorder the world to their advantage – to the detriment of communities, workers, small businesses, and the environment.’

Don’t let them convince you today is a ‘Bad News Day’…

‘#Musk ‘s wealth has fallen by $113bn since midterms. The post-midterms market rout has been particularly painful for Elon Musk’

#Labour is well and truly in the pocket of #AI companies. The lobbying is constant and ongoing. It’s the latest revolving door for ministers.

‘38 ministers, senior civil servants and special advisers hired to positions in AI companies between July 2024 and September 2026.’

There is no equivalence in relationship say for environmental groups or even child safety groups.

It tells you who Labour prioritises and it’s not people or our planet.

If as a politician you want my vote, answer the following;

1) #AI - how will you protect humanity and jobs? Prove you haven’t been taken hostage by techno-fascists?

2) #Fascism - prove you’re not fascist in terms of woman, race, LGBTQ+, disability and use of executive power. How will you defend against fascist enemies and enhance democracy?

3) #ClimateBreakdown - will you take bold action to reduce emissions and adapt society? Or have you been taken hostage by #FossilFuel companies?
