Fresh fears for South West's rail link in Dawlish after storms
Taxpayer money has flowed into fixing the rail line connecting Cornwall with the rest of the UK - but the elements have other ideas.
The Dawlish - Teignmouth railway line feels like the absolute front line of climate adaptation in Britain (a test we are not passing so far).
And yet somehow, somehow, this article manages to go in-depth on the problems with the line without mentioning the climate once. The sea is literally higher!

Polanski is deft at dodging attempts to deflect him, sticking firmly to articulating his main points and preventing them being misrepresented. He bats away false premises & logical fallacies, refusing to allow them any perceived legitimacy.
No wonder Farage so carefully avoids going up against him.

You are choosing to believe Yvette Cooper on this. You may be right to but she has history of not always getting her facts right. I refer to her comments on Palestine Action which seems "wide of the mark".

It appears Yvette Cooper lied when she proscribed Palestine Action. This creates a wider problem than just the lie. Why for example should I believe her when she describes Putin's role in the death of Navalny? Can I trust her to tell the truth?

The ban was justified by Yvette Cooper, who imposed it when she was Home Secretary, on the grounds that she knew some special secrets about PA the rest of us didn't: a shocking abuse of government privilege. She has never produced this "evidence", and we have reasons to believe it does not exist.
