I love this idea but I can’t help reflecting that I had to put up with a decade of ‘electric cars will melt the grid’ nonsense. Now we know AI data monsters will mash the grid to pulp and it’s all ‘let’s panic and build more generation.’ Lovely.

President Trump has shown, again and again, he can’t be trusted as a reliable ally.

The Prime Minister needs to stop hoping for the best and start dealing with reality.

It’s exactly this kind of dismal, prejudiced bollox from the Daily Mail that’s got us into the ruinous Brexit mess we’re in. What a moronic response to us rejoining Erasmus and all the benefits that brings. If they’re really worried about cost, they should push to cancel Brexit altogether.

It’s the 78th birthday of Jimmy Lai, the campaigner for Hong Kong’s freedom, who has now been jailed for 1800+ days. His health is bad and he’s not getting proper treatment. As a rich man, he could easily have stayed away from HK. Instead, he returned and stood by his friends.

The EU was created in by people who lived through WWII and saw political and economic integration as a means to bringing peace and stability to the continent.

It is being opposed by Putin, Musk and the others who support Neo Nazis in Europe.

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!!
No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

US government adopted the far-right Great Replacement myth and is now demanding NATO countries to dismantle the EU and the European project. They themselves frame it as a binary choice. Essentially the end of NATO as we know it.

The only 'peace' which Russia will accept is one which carves up Ukraine's territory, destroys its sovereignty and turns it into vassal state for Putin to plunder.

We Europeans cannot let that happen.

Listening to David Lammy on @BBCr4today attempting to justify abolishing trial by jury, it is increasingly and terrifyingly clear that he simply does not understand the issues.
