At least you’ll get an early warning if there’s any gas leaks!

And honestly I don't give a fuck if it's popular or not. It's going to make a lot of kids' lives better. That's the point of government. Not an opinion poll.

No wonder the national team’s struggling - taking away all those grass roots facilities.

MAGA X accounts exposed as being run from far-flung foreign countrie The rollout has hit the MAGA movement particularly hard, with high-profile accounts which often post about election results and Trump's anti-immigration agenda linked to far-flung foreign nations.

Given the PM loves a flag-waving presser about something patriotic, i don't get why govt is not now in full 'launch an inquiry on foreign interference in UK politics' given this week we've had Nathan Gill jailed over Russian bribes, Chinese spies again, & this www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Fantastic comment on the cricket et al Substack which I’m hoping may be premature and laughed at in the coming couple of months : England are like a test cricket cover band - entertaining but not the real thing.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

There are quite a few batters I have loved watching - but none as much as Brook - he doesn’t know when to rein it in sometimes…. But when he tries he’s just as likely to get out..like today

🚨 Labour MPs are calling for a minister-led review of the government’s use of X, warning it poses growing risks to democracy and public safety

@politicshome.bsky.social understands a review is currently being carried out by officials, but without ministerial oversight

I know….and Tammy as well! She’d fielded well up to that point.

No, they really didn’t. The opposite. The BBC smiled, in a gentile way, and told him to bugger off. You have to imagine the letter being read by Charles Dance.

Cromford Mills was built in 1771 by Sir Richard Arkwright and became the world’s first successful water-powered cotton spinning mill. In 2024, a new water wheel was installed at the Derwent Valley Mills UNESCO World Heritage Site, alongside a 17 kW hydro turbine and a water-source heating system to help power the site.

EU investing €546 billion for high speed rail by 2040

E.g. Lisbon to Warsaw, from 38 hours today to 12 hours

Pricing to compete with low cost flights

Reduce emissions by 80%

Jokes on them, they don't have Brexit sovereignty 🤷‍♂️
