Final decision on fate of crumbling UK parliament delayed to 2030s It’s a fire-hazard that’s prone to tumbling masonry β€” but fear of a public backlash is again delaying repairs to the world famous building.

What’s needed: courageous reforms of democratic infrastructure, not playing for time. www.politico.eu/article/fina...

Das Framing ist halt ein anderes. Klar wurde da kampagnisiert, aber dass es ein faktenfreier β€žCoupβ€œ und reine WillfΓ€hrigkeit der Institution war stimmt so halt auch nicht.

COP30 boss: "Rich countries have lost enthusiasm for tackling climate crisis" and praises China.

Chinese renewables are great, but you have to be disconnected from reality to miss the wrenching change EU in particular has signed up to & China's CO2 trajectory.

The final poll-of-polls in the Dutch election shows Geert Wilders's anti-Muslim PVV still sliding, and the progressive-liberal D66 party continuing its rise to a near-tie for 2nd. If momentum matters as much as it did in 2023, D66 is within range of first. peilingwijzer.tomlouwerse.nl
