Windows 11 26H2 finally fixes File Manager folder search. For years search has never worked on my folders. I don't know if it's because I name them with leading and trailing underscores, "_Andrew_", to force important folders to the top of the directory list or for some other reason.

🚨 The headline numbers are large: a 53.8% decline in export product varieties to the EU and a 16.5% fall in export values (meaning that fewer types of products are now being sold by UK firms to the EU). Creating trade barriers with your largest trading partner is economically illiterate.

Commuter rail question... If my daughter buys a 16-25 Railcard in the Trainline app I understand it gives discounted rail travel. I'm told you can also link a Railcard to an Oyster card to get discount on tubes too. Do you need a physical Oyster card and how do you link to a Railcard for discount

Another great video that dives into the tricky grid constraints faced by both generators, like wind farms, solar, and battery storage, and major electricity consumers such as data centres. You can see why 95% of electricity from renewables by 2030 is a challenge! www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb9L...

The evolution of Dad’s Taxi : 1) Dropping the kids at a party and staying; 2) The party becomes a simple drop-off / pick-up later; 3) Drop them to a party when it’s dark and pick them up when it’s getting light; 4) Juggling one airport drop-off and one airport pickup all in the same day!

I still find it hard to take any government seriously in their pronouncements about the economy whilst their higher education policy is effectively destroying one of the most productive - and regionally diversified - parts of the economy, just to placate racists.

Why are UK firms struggling in Europe? It's not a language barrier; it's #Brexit. In today's @yorkshirepost.co.uk, Chair @leedsblue67.bsky.social highlights FSB data: 34% of SME exporters expect to halt EU trade entirely. Will #AndyBurnham deliver an EU reset? 👇 #RejoinEU #Yorkshire #UKEconomy
Letter headed "Barriers for businesses are structural", which appeared in The Yorkshire Post on 22 July 2026. Peter Packham, Chair of Leeds for Europe, argues Brexit trade barriers cannot be readily dismissed if Britain wants to expand its trade with the rest of Europe, and encourage UK firms to acquire other enterprises on the continent.

I think the EU's use of the "electrification" term is much better than "net zero" which has become weaponised by Farage as part of his divisive culture war.

There are, in my view, 25 things everyone needs to understand in light of recent events: 1) Those out in our communities last night were not protestors, but organised far right extremists. 2) Their actions align with fascist ideologies. 3) So yes: these are fascist practices on our streets. 🧵
