Watching how Europe is walking away from US Microsoft & other IT & cloud systems owing to US legislation on handing over data, away from Palantir for all the talked about reasons and away from US defence, Denmark being the most recent.
What’s UK position for Govt data and defence systems?
Going back 2000 years really brings our current warming into perspective. Carbon pollution is remaking our climate. Thanks @edhawkins.org for the great visual.
Forever chemicals were introduced into every frying pan and much clothing at around the same time as the fertility rate started falling. I know correlation isn't proof but it can be very informative.

Perhaps they should concentrate getting these Patriots 😂 to do some litter picking or helping the elderly or general community work?
Laugh out loud moment, but I’m not sure what one is😂
Let’s concentrate on Ambassadors and not future PMs called Johnson shall we?
Boris Johnson was blocked from accessing state secrets while serving as foreign secretary due to concerns about his ability to keep information confidential. www.businessinsider.com/boris-johnso...
Confused. Protestants in UK believe King is the one with God’s ear, not the Pope. Protestants worldwide don’t have a single leader, each denomination has its own set of leaders. Why would anyone think otherwise?
Russian military are bastards, Kremlin military commanders should be dropped at the front line
Only need to look at what Russia has done to Ukrainians in the occupied regions of Ukraine Detailed by Amnesty International www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...
Thought Trump regime didn’t care about the health of the nation, or the environment but only about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and when the Senators are Republican and dominating Representatives, what hope is there?
Marc Francois I think. Many joined Reform.
What pissed me off at the time was like all other “groups” of “research” within Parliament, the subscriptions are paid for by the UK tax payers through MP expenses.
Article below suggests doing nothing 6x more expensive. This is not something humans can simply adapt to, how do you put a $$ on an uninhabitable planet?

Always informative to understand what’s happening in Ukraine from someone living the war, a specialist in Russian politics and Putin particularly. Thank you.
🔥 While NATO scrambles jets, Putin scrambles for control. His Baltic maneuvers are purely political theater designed to trick the world into thinking Russia is still a global power.
👉 A weakening regime is more dangerous when it feels cornered.

Zelensky - Iran war is connected
1 strengthens Russia, oil sanctions lifted & high prices
2 exhausts US militarily, economically, & internally
3 European energy reserves low from domestic to aviation
4 China difficulty to be mediator
5 global instability increases
6 limits UA air defences
Having lived on the north side of Doncaster a decade, I came to the conclusion majority ceased education at 16, are parochial, backward looking & small minded. Disliked living there intensely.
I recall ERG disdain of European parliaments being inferior with plenty of eye rolling as Italy got through another PM
Just reading report Parasol lost:recovery plan needed from Institute and Faculty of Actuaries.
As predicted, cleaning atmosphere of pollutants is showing increased rate of global warming.
Predicts 2*C warming by 2050.
Planetary solvency threatened by underestimate.

What? Zelensky is clear Trump is not on the side of Ukraine.
Didn’t need to look,”how much?” was my response in PO recently. Sent the card 2nd instead which was nearly as bad.
The Mandelson debacle creates a huge furore through Westminster, BBC and other media however, the public at large really don’t give a fuck.
They care about cost of food, clothing, heating home, filling the car and security of work.
Media should stop self indulging 24/7
Observing
Making scathing remarks about Trump doesn’t appear detrimental to position, eg Rubio & Vance
It’s not being given to us free.
The volume passed through pipeline is still sold at wholesale global price.
Robbins can’t provide any specific info regarding pressure from Cabinet office or elsewhere. He “understands” there was constant pressure.
Would it be unfair of me to mention that Joe Rogan was not wearing a suit to the Oval office? And dressed rather like Zelenskyy!
Bring back school kitchens and cook on site.
My grandson at a Council nursery, daily meals including main, pudding, biscuits/cakes cooked on site by kitchen staff.
The meals are great and include mid morning break, lunch, mid afternoon tea of freshly made sandwiches.
Why report Trump says mistake made in picking Mandelson? Trump now dislikes Starmer intensely following decision to go to war.
Trump was fine with appointment initially.
Better timeline would be crazy demented not fit for office Trump jumps on Starmer criticism bandwagon.
#BBCR4 Nick Robinson to my ears suggesting Ollie Robbins won’t be telling quite the facts about Mandelson process & his decision to help further his (employment) claim.
Robinson et al appear to be plugged into the speculation world.
