Homes being swallowed up by the sea - as rate of coastal erosion accelerates According to a survey from One Home using government data, 21 villages and hamlets in England will lose more than half a billion pounds worth of residential property to coastal erosion by 2100.

No compensation, alternative accommodation or insurance payout for most people who lose their homes due to coastal erosion. Floods minister said #climatechange means the coast is disappearing faster

'Met Police facial recognition tech mistook me for wanted man' Shaun Thompson is challenging the Met Police's use of live facial recognition technology.

A man wrongly flagged by Londonโ€™s live facial recognition tech calls it โ€œstop and search on steroidsโ€ - and heโ€™s taking the Met Police to court. Hereโ€™s why this legal challenge could change how weโ€™re watched in public spaces ๐Ÿ‘‡

No electoral promises to run roughshod over vulnerable groups, The electoral pitch was change.
Continuing austerity by policy choice, not inaction, is not change.
Perpetuating the hostile immigration stance, is not change.
Chasing right wing policy, false proscription, lobby funding, not change.

I hope your next reply will address the questions I posed.
There does seem to be a common thread of people staunchly Labour in that they fail to answer criticisms directly.
You are allowed you know?!

Trump and Putin are meeting in Alaska instead of the White House because the Oval Office now has too much gilded frippery for even Vladimir Putin to handle.

Who will those tent poles be driven through to erect this tent?
Disabled people?
Trans people?
Those in poverty?
The climb from the Tory hole does not require this. The money exists, it's under the control of the mega wealthy. Reeves' fiscal rules are a self-made millstone that she can break.

Crowd in Parliament Square

Via Defend Our Juries:

There were approximately 1,000 people holding allegedly โ€˜terroristโ€™ signs today in Parliament Square defending Palestine Action, substantially in excess of the original 600-700 estimate.

Of these the Met has so far arrested an estimated 200, a fifth of the total.

And it's the Civic Pragmatists and Melancholy Middle who are the least certain about voting for Reform UK.

They are the most open to persuasion from other parties.

Offshore turbine installation plus connections, are significantly more expensive and carbon intensive than onshore.
There's wind and there's better wind, combined with as many low carbon sources as possible.
With respect concerns over a regime cutting corners, has the NRC been gutted too?

There is only one Trump goal that I applaud: ending offshore wind. I can hear the cheers now of communities up/down the US coasts.

It truly can't come fast enough for me.

Oh ... and I applaud building more nuclear power plants for safe/clean/continuous power.
