Hoping the French can invent a Poitiers solution for superpower disinformation and surveilling. Maybe the oligarch platforms just have to be banned?

I didn't read it as them agreeing with the "woke" description etc. just reporting that was what some described it as. No idea what "woke" might mean in car design terms.

Pretty balanced reporting I'd say, reflecting the controversy on social media 2 yrs ago when the design sketches were revealed.

That too, but NHSE is hugely inefficient in how it "operates" across primary and secondary care. Funding alone isn't the answer; it absorbs c.80% more funds than it did just 10 yrs ago, and it's obviously worse, particularly in certain areas.

Your weekend reminder that Nigel Farage wants to - leave the ECHR - repeal the Equality Act - Strip back workers rights - Lift restrictions on exploitative zero-hours contracts - repeal the Renters’ Rights Act which abolishes no fault evictions He is not on your side youtu.be/KxOQRt8PQys?...

If UK media actually explained Nigel Farage’s policies to the public no one would be supporting him

Batumi, Georgia where winemaking traditions go back 8,000 years. Per UNESCO, Georgia is where wine was invented dating back 6,000 B.C. The Qvevri wine-making technique is a cherished Georgian tradition, predominantly in villages with unique grape varieties. IG: @ earthpix

The English Channel - the body of water between England and France (22 miles at narrowest) - also named La Manche (the sleeve) by the French due to its shape. Napoleon wanted to invade England in the early 1800s, but couldn't break our naval blockade (hence the quote).

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.
