We'd like to wish all those celebrating today a very Happy St George's Day!

What on earth is patriotic history?

Well, if the answers I can see are correct, I didn't know that!

Another solar generation record set today in Britain.

14,426 megawatts were being generated at 11.30 today, delivering 37% of GB’s electricity and contributing to a record low reliance on fossil fuels. Gas accounted for just 2% of electricity generation at that time.

More than half of Britons support rejoining EU 10 years on from Brexit vote Experts say Labour’s ‘halfway house’ approach risks losing support from progressives and ‘red wall’ voters

More than half of Britons support rejoining EU 10 years on from Brexit vote.

Brexit was secured with lies. It hasn't delivered any of the claimed economic benefits.

Post Trump world will be more polarized.

Nobody under the age of 28 had a say on Brexit.

Need another referendum.

This is a really odd argument because I think at the heart of it, there is a deep misunderstanding about what writing is for. I write to communicate my thoughts and ideas, and to bring people along with me, which AI cannot do for me because it isn't me.

At least five spikes of cuckoo pint with a background of ivy, nettle and other wild plants

It's up! (Childish giggles) Is this a particularly good year for cuckoo pint? Other gardeners would probably remove them, but there are loads in the verges and hedges this year. I like them. #gardening

Phew. We have some heritage pears with slightly serrated leaves, that's our excuse.

Sat on the fence. But half right is a win isn't it?

Libraries are so much more than just about book lending. Yes, in the digital age they might be slightly less important than they once were, but what does it say about a society that can't fund knowledge and entertainment and human betterment?

New boiler phase out from 2035 is ‘popular’ with public, survey suggests Half of people support phasing out new gas and oil boilers in favour of clean heating from 2035, far more than oppose such a move, a survey suggests. But the poll of 3,000 adults for the MCS Foundatio...

Cherries or pears?

Taxing. Didn't Henry introduce several fruit types?

Geflüchtete aus Senegal in Deutschland: „Sicher“ trotz Anti-Homosexuellen-Gesetz Senegal bestraft Homosexuelle mit bis zu 10 Jahren Haft. Die Bundesregierung sieht keinen Grund, die Einstufung als „sicheren Herkunftsstaaten“ zu ändern.

I love both for having the commitment to put themselves in the spotlight. Can't imagine doing that in today's environment. PS. Love is perhaps a bit strong. Maybe respect for their public service, even when I don't agree with what they might say.

Eine Option schon - nur einfach eine blöde. #Klimawandel

Lots of bluebells along the Montgomery Canal with a great display at Llanymynech Heritage Area. Give them a few sunny days and they will be stunning.

The usual answer to struggling high streets is outside investment – but businesses owned by distant shareholders pull out when times get tough.

Co-ops stay: owned by their members, rooted in their communities, and keep wealth circulating locally.

Vote Labour and Co-operative.

Nigel Farage was wrong in 2015 and he was wrong yesterday.

Treatment means people living with HIV can live a healthy life and can't pass it on. 

Withholding HIV treatment risks HIV transmission.

Rejoining Europe: the policy which could ironically unite Britain The message from the British public is now clear and consistent: they are in favour of having a closer relationship with the EU

Rejoining Europe: the policy which could ironically unite Britain

The message from the British public is now clear and consistent: they are in favour of having a closer relationship with the EU

open.substack.com/pub/thenewwo...

Addressing the House of Commons today, Sir Keir Starmer, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, said we must have "a closer economic relationship with our European allies because Brexit did deep damage to the economy". Now, these words need to be matched with a clear, concrete plan.

Blick auf eine Autobahn, Text: Kehrtwende in die Abhängigkeit. Bunderegierung steuert zurück ins fossile Zeitalter.

🚗 Ist das eine teure Kehrtwende, zurück ins fossile Zeitalter? Statt echte Lösungen für weniger Abhängigkeit von fossilen Energien zu erarbeiten, will die Regierungskoalition unter Friedrich Merz Klimavorgaben für Autos mit Verbrennungsmotor schleifen🤦.

An hour deadheading and shaping the hydrangeas before lunch is very therapeutic.
