This is an excellent, level-headed, informative piece. I'd kill for a government which could discuss the issue with the same sense of objectivity and calm.

I don't see how Tesla's Model 3 can survive if Benz can offer an alternative EV this cheap, with this kind of performance, on top of the 15% tariff that it's charged in the US.

Imagine what this model does to Tesla in Europe, where Benz pays no tariffs.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

The husband just found me having a little cry in my studio.
He’s making me a hot Vimto and I’m having a word with myself.

Have a look at my website and please repost.

Telegraph headline feels inflammatory - there's no tearing, just careful removal of a flag from a grade 1 listed historic monument that belongs to the nation.

A U.S. drone hit one of the “go fast” type UAPs with a Hellfire “tank buster” missile. Then it got interesting! The missile bounced off and kept going, while the UAP also kept going on its way. Debris from the strike appeared to follow the object as it moved. www.bbc.com/news/videos/...
Video of US missile fired at mystery orb shown at UFO hearing
The footage was shown during a Congressional hearing on "unidentified anomalous phenomena," which in the air are commonly referred to as as UFOs.

Love Stephen King. Can't wait for The Long Walk and the new Running Man later this year. But The Life of Chuck has just left me feeling overwhelmingly depressed - great dance sequences though. It's the film equivalent of #Marmite (which I love, obvs)

Miles & miles of maize

Maize is mainly 🐄 feed.

Linked to high pesticide use—and damaging soil erosion.

Governments must be honest about the hidden costs of meat.

UK self-assessment tax payers:

If you have a second payment on account it's due today, 31st July

Even if you don't think you *have* to pay a second payment on account, I recommend you log in and check. I thought that last year, and I did. And they hadn't told me. And I had to pay interest.

UK vehicle manufactures have fallen to the lowest level since 1953 reports BBC and Guardian. Lots of stuff on Trump tariffs and EVs. Yet, looking at the data the dramatic rupture seems to be in 2016. A total mystery what that was....

I did my safeguarding level 3 mandatory training this week on FII (Fabricated or induced illness - seen as a form of child abuse) and PP (perplexing presentations) i.e. symptoms that don’t make sense to paediatricians.

Look at the symptoms that these ‘abusive’ parents may report.
