Now that the KetaMelon has turned twitter into a personality cult to feed his megalomania, you can find me at http://milesking.bsky.social.
Ahead of tomorrow's #ClarksonDyson "Inheritance tax reforms to Agricultural Property relief" lobby and demo, here are some resources I've put together previously on Xitter, plus one from a tax expert. 1/5

I've stopped posting on here, but, in the interests of free speech, here's a cartoon.

Knowing O’Neill’s MO, he will have accused those recognising a fascist salute when they see one, as the real fascists.
Brendan O'Neill of Spiked writes in the Spectator that Elon Musk didn't make a fascist salute - and frankly that's good enough for me
We have become the proxy for megafauna we extirpated.
The evidence for Homo sapiens playing the dominant role in the global #megafauna #extinctions constitutes one of the clearest, well-supported patterns in #ecology -see our 2024 review cambridge.org/core/journals/…🦣🏹🐘🥩🐎🌿#mammals #paleobiology #archeology #ecosystem #defaunation
hard to beat.
Name a film where the soundtrack is as iconic as the movie itself.
🚨 Reports indicate that the attacker responsible for driving into a crowd in New Orleans’ French Quarter, resulting in 10 deaths and 30 injuries, is 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, an American citizen and U.S. Army veteran born and raised in Texas.
Lots of geomagnetic activity this evening . Chance of Northern Lights sightings if skies clear. Look north
Excellent thread on the legendary Centurion tank.
Centurion tank - a 🧵 In 1943, Australian engineer Sir Claude Gibb was moved from munitions to be Director-General of AFV manufacturing at the Ministry of Supply. On the top of his in-tray was a report on the Tiger tank, examples of which the allies had captured in Tunisia.
the whole idea of sustainable fuel for air travel - by jets, is a nonsense. Performative climate action or greenwashing, take your pick.
This year, we will begin to use cleaner fuel for flights from UK airports. This is a huge opportunity for Britain to lead the way in sustainable fuel for air travel, encouraging investment and creating jobs while reducing our environmental impact 🇬🇧🌍 independent.co.uk/climate-change…
Farage is correct. Too many people who hate us and our European values have become prominent and influential. Including Farage and Musk.


Beware the Brexit reset backlash. New post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog. With the reset barely begun, the Brexiters' vicious backlash against it is gathering force. But the reset has good justification (& those dismissing it as trivial should beware): chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2024/12/beware…
Some of the features are huge, and we have a working theory that they were first formed when sarsens were moved as part of prehistoric field clearances. Over time the soil has built up over the stones, which has led to such large banks.
These sarsens appear to be underneath a field lynchet. There has long been speculation over the date of the field systems in the Valley of Stones? #25sarsensofchristmas #dailysarsen #valleyofstones @NaturalEngland @HeritageFundUK
The loss of Russian bases in Syria will have major implications for Russia’s global military footprint and ability to operate in Africa. 🧵(1/5)
Even if Russia maintains some or all of its bases in Syria, it is a major geopolitical loss for Moscow, as Russia’s continued basing in Syria will be at the mercy of Syrian opposition groups that the Kremlin previously used to call terrorists. ⬇️x.com/TheStudyofWar/…

AUSTRALIA HOTTEST SPRING ON RECORD Temperature anomaly +2.08C above the 1961-1990 (about +1.5C vs 1991-2020), it beats Spring 2020 by 0.05C. Pretty much warm allover, being Tasmania quite an exception. Map by BOM
Not so unacceptable that we stop selling them arms of course.
Together 🇬🇧🇫🇷🇩🇪 have written to the Israeli government to urge action on the unacceptable humanitarian situation in Gaza. Israel must implement @UN's winter plan now: send equipment to guard against cold & flooding, give access to fuel, repair vital infrastructure, and get aid…
Hard to see Putin's tanks rolling into Georgia as they did in 2008, when they're already tied up, or blown up, in Ukraine.

Ah yes William Sitwell who was sacked for suggesting "a series on killing vegans, one by one. Ways to trap them? How to interrogate them properly? Expose their hypocrisy? Force-feed them meat?" in reply to a freelance hack's proposals for Waitrose magazine articles.
Oh dear, ‘Top bloke’ narratives already deployed for #GreggWallace… ‘The Gregg I know,’ starts William Sitwell in his latest column. Well, that’s the point isn’t. The men we think we know aren’t always the ‘top blokes’ they present themselves as, are they? Sitwell then writes,…
