Wow, look at this: the carbon intensity of UK electricity is currently only 32g/kWh and 86.5% of our electricity right now is coming from renewables.

Come on world, this IS possible!

Samsung have really fancy ones with magnetic knobs you can move around to whichever hobs you want to use.

Yes, that is another controller to lose down the back of the sofa.

Paul Whitehouse definitely auditioned for a joke and inadvertently got a long term job out of it. It'll end up a story on WILTY?

Can I just say that within the context of British English, this could cause severe psychological trauma if imagined.

I'm pretty sure it's been tried multiple times before, and failed.

JUST IN: After Trump’s tariffs wiped more than $2.5 trillion off U.S. stock markets in less than a day, Liz Truss has awarded Donald Trump with the Golden Lettuce β€” the highest honor in reckless economic policy.

Westminster can announce an election, run it, and then have full transfer of power within 25 days.

The worst thing to have happened to Greggs was the introduction of the hot drinks machine. It slows the queue down to a crawl.

It sounds like one of those hilarious legal loopholes lawyers like to find: "It's not cancelled; it's just not departing" to circumvent the small print conditions.

Time to revert to the postwar scenario where some really rather mad people got to invent lots of very strange and wonderful bits of kit. Hope we have sufficient sheds to house them all.

They'll need to do the same for thinktanks as well, as that's a more frequent attack vector.

Context is important, these statements were not made in a vacuum.

The context here is that only two countries have expressed their intent to deploy troops to Ukraine.

Vance seems to think we're as oblivious as many of his own electorate.

I hope you can reflect on your priorities.
