Today, almost all new electricity is coming from clean energy Once clean-energy growth consistently exceeds demand, fossil-fuel power will start to decline Source: IEA

This basically. Labour has relentlessly increased the salience of the issues Reform prioritises, whilst winning over basically no Reform voters, and simultaneously alienating their own base. It's just terrible politics.

Here’s a poem called ‘What Don Corleone Did Next’. #worldotterday
What Don Corleone Did Next 
 
upon retiring 
from the mafia,
 
he wove aquatic mammals 
out of raffia 
 
let me tell you 
how I learnt this news: 
 
he made me an otter 
I couldn’t refuse

87% of graduates say the maximum 6.2% interest rates on Plan 2 loans are unfair. They're right: it was actively designed to trap even grads who get good jobs in debt they can never pay off. The mis-selling to 18 year olds - often for a product of dubious value - was appalling.

When the US acquired the US Virgin Islands from Denmark, it did so through a negotiated treaty and purchase with congressionally appropriated funds. It was not/not done unilaterally by the US President. And the US Secretary of State included this declaration when signing the treaty.
In proceeding this day to the signature of the Convention respecting the cession of the Danish West-Indian Islands to the United States of America, the undersigned Secretary of State of the United States of America, duly authorized by his Government, has the honor to declare that the Government of the United States of America will not object to the Danish Government extending their political and economic interests to the whole of Greenland.

So far the "Board of Peace" is Trump, Orban, Lukaschenko and Netanyahu. Which if you wrote in a satire would be considered too outlandish and sent back.

There are always Trumps. And so that is why the United States constitution has checks and balances for the misuse of presidential power. The real story of Trump’s presidency is not only what he has done, but also what Congress and the Supreme Court have not done.

Most of the London-crime chat is just code for racism. They don't really mean that an area is dangerous. They mean that it contains black people/Muslims and want to insinuate that this entails danger.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Some good news. London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces. The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

Something the new housing secretary may wish to bring to the top of his inbox today: the simmering scandal of the Building Safety Regulator – whose backlog has not only brought a near halt to new housing in London, but is also blocking cladding removal. Amazingly underreported story, so far…
