Scotland could be first country in world to end HIV transmission, say leading charities | Terrence Higgins Trust Scotland is in prime position to be the first country to end new HIV cases, according to leading HIV charities, but urgent action by the next Scottish Government is crucial to achieving the goal of getting there by 2030.

Scotland could become the first country to end transmission as government has “all the tools” to meet its goal, @tht.org.uk says

Small scale.
Plug in Solar. People will be far better at identifying areas for small solar sites in their homes/land. Ikea do them.
Hinkley(2030) £34bln, 15 years to build
Renewables will be generating far sooner, reducing cost. At one point in Nov I saw the grid at 85% renewables production.

When do we say no to an absolute wrong?
And whilst the US is a big partner. The EU was a far bigger partnership and we left that over 'Sovereignty'
Trump is literally manipulating markets and war through his tweets. His family are making fortunes. They don't care about the "special" relationship

We can close our airspace, like France/Spain/Italy/Austria/Nordic States etc and not participate at all in an illegal war, uwanted by US/UK citizens.

We need to be clever and start offering free/reduced public transport/ build an EV fleet for goods deliveries in the UK/ install ground source geat pumps. EV's are about 80% efficient compared to the 20-30% of Fuel. This would reduce the required power and daily demand.

Again at 3to4 times cheaper per MW. You can get twice what you need and use the rest to invest in storage, upgrade grid to handle overseas and connect us properly for resilience. Insulate homes to increase efficiency, utilise heatpump tech.

Or buy Nuclear.
Sun, tidal wind are an infinite source.

Why? When renewables are 3 to 4 times cheaper per MW than nuclear + Safer and more secure. With all the wars going on why risk having to rely on uranium import and make an obvious target. Like you say, we used to he good at nuclear, it would cost a lot to get there.

Labour would be the vote splitter at this point, met so many rx Labour who are done with the party.

I mean the Green Party has been going since the 70's. It took Lavout about 50 years to get elected. I don't think this is a flash in the pan moment.

Didn't we start sending more troops and defences to the Gulf 48 hrs ago?

"Fairly" means respecting the rights, and sovereignty of the people of those United Kingdoms. If the Scottish people chose to leave the Union, then a fair government would allow it.

How the BBC and Daily Mail Spread Reform's ‘Family Voting’ Lies The real scandal of the Gorton and Denton by-election was the willingness of media organisations to collude in Nigel Farage's attempt to undermine the result of a free and fair election

Didn't he just U-Turn on promises in the "contract"
Utilities, 2 child benefit, tax cuts etc.
Like the council tax U-Turn.

Between him and Starmer you have a pair of Left and Right flip flops.

Wikipedia Bans AI-Generated Content “In recent months, more and more administrative reports centered on LLM-related issues, and editors were being overwhelmed.”

Yes, good, more of this please.

What the EU can — and can’t — learn from Spain’s low energy bills Madrid says a renewables boom is shielding its citizens from soaring fossil fuel costs. But that’s not the full story.

Gas only sets Spain's electricity price 15% of the time. When gas costs spike it barely registers on the electricity bill. In countries like Italy and the UK gas sets the price 90% of the time. The difference is enormous.

I spoke to @politico.com about this.

New inquest into death of trans man after legal challenge A new inquest will be held into the death of 20-year-old trans man Aiden Longmuir, after the first inquest was quashed following a legal challenge.

Aiden Longmuir died by suicide last year, likely because of failures of the NHS to provide adequate care. His family have finally won a proper inquest.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.
