We make conscious economic decisions every day, even in the corner shop. Let’s concentrate on millions of small, individual acts. Changed habits get noticed by others. Leave the fossil fuel criminals wondering where their profits went.

Ultra processed foods are bad for you. Very bad. And the UK buys more of them than anywhere else in Europe. Another public health failure in regulating producers, advertisers, and sellers.

This guy was left in the library yesterday. 🪵
We don't know much about him but he keeps telling us
1) that he's Stick Man
and
2) that he's trying to get back to the family tree
If you left Stick Man behind you can collect him from reception.

Funnily enough this came up at a committee meeting this morning (nothing to do with politics by the way). Basically tax the rich, not the pensioners and the struggling. And yes, Reeves, you bloody well can.

My team and I have been able to discern that sperm whales have their own alphabet and that this alphabet seems to be pillared by their own version of vowels. I’ve learned that humans are far from the only species intelligent and complex enough to develop a form of language and culture.

The Economist is consistently terrible and wrong about pretty much everything. They fawn over the worst people, support wars around the world and every bad economic idea that the right can crank out. When it blows up in their face, they pretend they never supported it.
Imagine looking at record profits, record executive pay, and record inequality, and concluding: yup… the minimum wage is the problem.

But Trump, a wholly owned Russian asset, has been told to say it will.
It's somewhat amusing that you can pass yourself off as a Russia expert commenting on this "peace deal" as messy but at least "a way to end the war" without realising Kremlin sees it as just a tactic to continue it later.
It will end nothing.

I’m worried about Richard, the supposed Reform candidate in some council by election or other in Lincolnshire.
Look at the faraway look in his eyes.
The sadness.
The furrowed brow.
The dull listlessness…😔
Is he being held hostage against his will by Andrea Jenkyns?
