I wonder if any of the people who (incorrectly) jumped to assume the train knife attacker was a Muslim / immigrant will be equally quick to note the Arabic name of the train guard who heroic put his life on the line… no of course not.

C**ts. Mess up your own country, but f**k off messing with a hugely important (symbolic) climate initiative.

“There are no starving children in Gaza” (from an Israeli politician). Even the pro-Israeli BBC describes this as “asking people to deny their eyes”. Come on Europe, pressure the Israeli government to stop the war and let in aid.

This weekend new statutory neonatal care leave and pay comes into force in the UK. So parents of newborns that need extra care will be able to be with them, and have to take leave/ return to work. 🥰

Unfortunately this is a carefully chosen time slice. Tesla stock is just back to where is was (more or less) at the election. It just rose crazily post election on the expectation that the Trump-Musk relationship was pay.
