Sigourney Weaver: “I wish they put out a director’s cut of the movie because, at the last minute, DreamWorks decided to release the movie with some of the more sophisticated scenes cut that Alan [Rickman] was in because it needed a kids’ movie to go up against Stuart Little.”

The bit that gets missed in the scandal around Farage's schooldays is that his school made him a prefect - despite warnings from staff about his conduct.
It's a recurring theme for Trump, Johnson, Farage & co. We can't be surprised at the way they behave, when their behavior is constantly rewarded.

There's only problem. This has just gone out to news outlets from the police. Journalists make mistakes (I do!), a big lie is harder to spot... but it's hard to conclude British journalism aggregation isn't rotten to the core. I think what's really bleak is that *someone else* did die in the canal.

The newspaper is revered and reviled for its unflinching coverage of the Gaza war. Can it survive a possible future succession crisis?

And you don't need to move ALL solar generation...
If you move 50% of it @$65/MWh of electricity, that adds **just $33/MWh** to make solar dispatchable.
The global average solar cost is $43/MWh.
That means dispatchable solar is just $76/MWh.

My pitch to sources who could take a story elsewhere is “if you put it in my newsletter it will get stolen by everyone very fast”. So little is going in at the top of the funnel that if you provide original stuff it spreads so rapidly.

1. Some good news at last. This week’s column is about the amazing thing a couple of us stumbled into three years ago, which we’ve now developed into a global research programme. It doesn’t change everything, of course, but it could help change quite a lot. + 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

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.
