Reading the FT front page story about a Chinese company introducing a battery with a 1500 km range & six minute recharging time & about how two Chinese companies own more than half of the global EV battery market & I am struck by the different realities the US and China occupy. We’ve lost the plot.
Having picked the judge, the prosecutor, and the defendant, I imagine the next move is to personally select the jurors.
Following months of deep and detailed investigative journalism The Mail can exclusively reveal...
Sunday Times headline from March: Reform's Richard Tice avoided nearly £600k in tax
Despite receiving dividends, the companies paid zero tax in 2019, 2020 and 2021 for reasons that Tice said related to wider losses suffered by the groups. Although no such information appears in their accounts, he said: “The accountants advise on this and sign the audit and they are top drawer so I trust them.”
Richard Tice had a different explanation for why no tax was paid when he spoke to the Sunday Times last month.
Tice's statements here are all incorrect.
Imagine if the press that Hegseth is insulting took this sort of stuff as seriously as they took Ilhan Omar saying AIPAC influences elections by spending money
Guy in job does his job. 🙄
BREAKING: Just 20 minutes before Trump's announcement that the Strait of Hormuz was open, massive trades hit the market.
Investors sold a combined 7,990 lots of Brent crude futures, a $760 million bet that oil would go down.
These orders were much larger than anything else at the time.
Unusual.
I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.
the Mandelson Russia links alone should have triggered more curiosity before his appointment
Thread 🧵 that's informative and practical. #Chinos

(an admin that actually cared about just war theory would be strict adherents to LOAC, which they very famously have spent time denigrating and trying to ignore)

Mail is running a poll on whether the UK should rejoin the EU.
Takes seconds to vote and it's going hilariously well...

Have to admit in past two years the e-bike has led to me abandoning the London tube for most of my commutes. Can get across city in (relative) fresh air and not arrive sweating like a gym bunny.
imagine how dense you’d have to be to believe that
You're tired of all the winning! Am I right? 😉
President Zelenskyy:
❗️For the first time in the history of this war an enemy position was taken using only unmanned platforms - ground robotic complexes and drones.
Russian soldiers in the position surrendered into captivity.
I agree, we should reconsider the phased introduction of a ban on Russian gas imports to EU... and move to immediately ban them. Better to have it kick in over the summer than winter! #SlavaUkraini
"We must become less reliant on American tools and regain control of our digital destiny."
France's government is ditching Windows and adopting Linux-based distros to reduce its reliance on U.S. tech giants like Microsoft.
as i see on my tl people trying to draw conclusions from tonight's results in hungary as to how they should oust their own autocratic leaders in their own country, here's an important detail that hasn't been talked much about
I'm not religious, but I respect the importance that faith plays in people's lives. Posting an image of yourself as God is literally blasphemy. It shows a disregard for sacred imagery and, by extension, for the very concept of the divine. Trump should apologize.
From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.
Octavia E. Butler, 1998:
Few movements I can think of that are as idiotic and misguided as the Irish Fuel protests. Like shaking ones fist at a cloud.
A) the issue is global (markets) not national
B) last time I checked Ireland is a market economy not state price controlled
C) Govt cut excise duty on fuel.
D) worsens pain!
Presumably now renamed Mr Stingswee!
Could equally be a graph of a Successful Iran Deal outcome!
