That is a lot of tweets. If you got this far you deserve a prize. Reasonable people will debate this growth strategy. But claiming there isn’t one is lazy nonsense. Higher growth matters because rising living standards are the goal, and higher investment is a key tool.

Hmm. I have an ever escalating cyber warfare arms race with my children. I apply settings, they innovate to avoid, manipulate, hack, etc. them. I change settings, employ more thorough counter-espionage techniques, add layers - they then up their game further. And on it goes. Sometimes it’s even fun!

I’d raise you Swanage in Dorset, Brockenhurst in the New Forest, and I remember an amazing fish and chips on Santa Barbara sea front (maybe in a lighthouse?) if you want the same authenticity but in the states.

Harley Davidson(!) used to sell sunglasses with a discrete porous foam surround to keep dust out of your eyes while biking - didn’t look like goggles, & had some sort of impact resistance rating, and you looked like a Terminator. Always used them for summer cycling in London. Sure others do similar.

Yeah but they’ve already got flexible alignment with the relevant EU position.

The kids use free chatgpt to write the work and then the staff use free studiosity to mark the work absolutely no one gets anything out of it including the companies. I think I'm having an existential breakdown

On balance, this an in situ outcrop of the bedrock, so technically folded and pushed up a very long time ago. (It’s aligned with the outcrop behind.) Where is it

Anybody complacent enough to think that the shitshow in the US could not happen here should take a glance at how quickly elements of the media have rushed to excuse proven lawbreaking by a far-right populist and undermine due process.

Ukraine already produces 55% of its own military equipment, and that's while fighting an invasion.
It's racing towards producing ballistic missiles. It makes 200k+ drones monthly & has the West's most experienced army.
Give Ukraine a few years to fully arm & it will be Europe's security guarantee.

There’s quite a few you might find you like in this vain… how about 376, the one requiring your (late) airline to have a secure & confidential safety reporting system? Literally ensuring you’ll be ‘better late than never’, and thus able to use 261 in the first place… “But our sovereignty!” Etc. FFS.
