Approximately 188,000 people will go through #TheQueue to pass the Queen's coffin before the funeral, I roughly estimate. This assumes a changing of the guard every 20 minutes lasting 2.75 minutes (likely), and a consistent rate of one mourner every two seconds (less certain).

The first revelation is that DCMS has a YouTube channel. The second is that you can use it to track The Queue.

Good illustrations of how the amount of talk about nuclear at the moment seems ridiculous compared to reality.

There's no reasonable alternative to net zero by 2050. Those saying otherwise are wrong. Even net zero 2050 is very damaging to our way of life, but it prevents permanent damage. It isn't even too costly, its definitely cheaper long-term, and will make all of us better off soon.

You've all seen the rainbow adverts, but do corporate #PrideMonth adverts make a difference to #LGBT+ people? Pretty proud of this one. Just want to share it before the UK news cycle entirely combusts. https://t.co/3OFM7mlzCx
