Microsoft cut its tax bill by roughly 82%, from $14.1B to $2.5B, even as its income soared. Across the corporate sector, tax payments are down 25% ($96B).

I’ve been OBSESSED with the Shard apartments for at least a decade. Priced at up to £50m. Visible across London. Empty since 2012. Unsellable. No pictures online. Now London Centric has found out what’s happened to them - and the first pic of the interior. www.londoncentric.media/p/the-shard-...

“Paris has embarked on a grand transformation, planting 155k trees, adding hundreds of kms of bike lanes, pedestrianising 300 school streets and banning cars from the banks of the Seine. Parking has been turned into green space…Fewer parents fear their child being run over when they walk to school.”

How Paris swapped cars for bikes – and transformed its streets

Under Anne Hidalgo – mayor for 12 years until last week – the French capital added bike lanes, cut traffic and reclaimed public space, but not without resistance

Ryan Gravenberch was involved in three goals on Sunday. Though two of them were Newcastle goals. Liverpool were opened up too easily through the middle. The defensive midfielder's job may have grown. On Gravenberch and the issues that make him more significant: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Liverpool’s alarming weakness is clear and signing a new winger won’t solve it

The Reds drew 2-2 at Newcastle on Sunday, but Andoni Iraola is struggling for midfield balance, with Ryan Gravenberch’s role uncertain after struggling at St James’ Park, notes Richard Jolly

Liverpool had 4 of the best players who won the U21/U19 trophies for England, and apart from Elliott, who will probably go, have binned all of them. Really poor pathway from the previous management mostly

An interesting thing about the discussion is that teachers/LSA barely get mentioned. Assuming kids are low risk does not mean they can't spread it. And the practicalities of trying to get stuff like HEPA filters in school is never raised. We'll get back to lazy teachers soon. 😊

Here's a quick recap of those five stages of climate denial... 1. Deny the problem exists 2. Deny we are the cause 3. Deny it is a problem 4. Deny we can solve it 5. Claim it is too late And we should probably squeeze in... 4.5. Claim we can just adapt www.theguardian.com/environment/...
