Absolutely. He was central to electing someone who was loud and clear about being anti-renewables. Why is he remotely surprised? We're not.

Totally. There was a lot of guffawing here on BlueSky when Reform announced it, which is a mistake, as this will cut through.

The same principle applies to newsstands. Here in the UK, there are 20k odd newsagents, including in every airport, supermarket, etc. Few people still read the papers, yet many are exposed to the loud front pages of the right-wing press, passing them several times a day.

It's straight out of Reform, the idea that the wicked metropolitan elites have been running the show in opposition to good honest folk- "The Anywhere worldview has dominated most Western societies for a generation, and populism is the Somewhere pushback. London is the capital of blue state Britain"

I bet they have no idea that they've actually signed up to a major climate change prevention idea, as there's a lot of research going into contrail avoidance measures

It's a gift for Reform. They'll be able to sound off about something that no one really wanted in the first place, while the real issues that could make everyone's lives better get pushed to the side

Incredible, there is no bottom

Given that they say that iPhone costs would triple if made in the US, it would be worth just paying the 25% tax (assuming such a thing, an Apple tax, is even possible or legal)

Actually sounds like Maduro in his later years

He was better prepared than Zelensky, because he knew it was coming (and it helps that Ramaphosa is a native English speaker).

Has one result of this been more traffic via the Middle East hubs? (Dubai, Doha, etc.)

I'm actually surprised it says the average is five. I had assumed it would be much less.
