Someone has suggested I create a thread containing some of my explainer threads. A meta explainer thread, if you will...😁 They cover both science and UK politics. I hope others continue to find them useful. I'll update this as and when I do more of them👍 🧵of 🧵s
Just to be clear, this is what Reform accounts considers a “luxury hotel”🙄




Arguing with scientists doesn’t make you part of the debate. It makes you part of the problem. Science isn’t about being right. It’s about getting less wrong over time. Changing your mind with new evidence isn’t weakness. It’s how progress works.
This actually happened. In college I published some short stories and poetry. It made a little bit of money to pay for textbooks and whatnot. When I took my Deaf Ed certification test, I was breezing through when I came across a poem. The question was about the author's…

I ADORE this forensic, fair, fun and full investigation into (dog whistle racist?) Andrea Jenkyns twisted tweet If only every (investigative) journalist, editor, sub, and headline writer was as skilled honest and forthright? We could call it 'journalism'.. And actual... 'News'

Simple. Honest. Direct. Great breakdown. More of this please. All light and no heat. Great example of public discourse and I aspire to the example.

For those caught and tucked in by Andrea Jenkyns recent post on the homeless veteran getting kicked off the train. Please do read this thread as it excellently explains the matter.

Yet again Emma takes a story containing a dodgy 🐕 whistle apart. She’s always worth a read. 👍🏻

Well-balanced, intelligent and ethically sound thread. All in contrast to the AJ output. Thank you.

The lovely Emma debunking Andrea Jenkins xenophobic twist on a story from May. Former Tory Angela had plenty opportunity to introduce travel for veterans, but didn’t. Now she’s with RefUK, she’s late, but all over it as an excuse to put “are own” Brits first

Excellent fisking of Andrea Jenkyns here. Of course the ticket inspector might've been wrong, of course there's a case for veteran concessions (not a strong one, in my view). But the wild leap to "Englund for the English!" blather is the hallmark of Reform messaging.

Note perfect thread below, on how legit grievances and concerns are being hijacked by not only fringe agitators but also frontline politicians to sow unrest and resentment where once there was a broad cohesion and harmony. Insidious. Don’t fall for it. Keep calling it out.
