There's nothing intrinsically wrong with nuclear. It's just the project being managed very badly
The cost of Sizewell C nuclear power station is set to almost double from £20bn to £38bn, while Hinkley Point C has gone from £18bn to £46bn.
Labour's obsession with nuclear power is a costly distraction from the needed investment in clean, green renewable energy.

So Norman Tebbit finally got on his bike. Can't pretend I was a fan, especially as he moved to my home town after he left parliament. However, he was the subject of one of the greatest stories ever, where he literally got into a fight with a dragon. So there's that www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Since it's Vince Clarke's birthday, here's a wild fact I found when researching an article that tangentially involved him: if you add up his contributions to Depeche Mode, Yazoo and Erasure, he's had the same number of top 40 hits as The Rolling Stones (43) mattdupuy.wordpress.com/tag/bjorn-ag...

Outstanding buffoonery. I hope that a suitable bit of bluegrass banjo picking music was playing at the time. 'Foggy Mountain Breakdown', maybe?

It is unclear to me why a 62-year-old politician cannot simply say "I've never heard a note by this group, have no plans to, and could not be less interested in whether they play at Glastonbury or not."

Because who doesn't want to read about massive aircraft with no guns going really, really fast? This is what aeroplanes are for. Doing cool aeroplane stuff.
'The MiG-19 was moving! I selected burners, accelerating to Mach 1.4. I am escaping at about 1400, while he is at 400 kts. No sweat. I couldn’t help myself, selecting international guard channeling I called “Adios motherfucker!”' Vigilante interview here: t.co/NmDmIKgLdo
