As a crucial COP30 takes place in Belém, Europe shows climate action and competitiveness go hand in hand.
Parliament's vote on our proposal to reduce carbon emissions by 90% by 2040 is a very welcome development.
And a major step on our path to climate neutrality by 2050.

Manic day, so no time for a full analysis of the European Sleeper to run Paris-Berlin night trains from Spring 2026, so just this quick thread
Important: chances this happens are GOOD, upwards of 80%
Chances it can’t launch in spring and start is delayed is higher than it not happening at all

I suspect being sued for a billion dollars by Donald Trump, who is about as popular as cholera in Britain, for saying something true about what Trump did (albeit with a bad edit) will probably do the BBC's public trust and approval ratings quite a lot of good in the end.

Personally I'd be pleased to see BBC News disappear entirely. To argue, as many do, that British politics or our news environment would be so much worse without the BBC you have to explain why British politics and news environment is so very bad with the BBC.

A single shared source of truth is essential for a functioning democracy.
Without it you’re left with fragmentation, polarisation and a perpetual culture war where the discourse focuses on what divides us rather than what we have in common.
