GET A GRIP Ireland is building a battery that contains no lithium. No cobalt. No rare-earth metals. Instead, it stores energy using carbon dioxide. The project is designed to hold 200 megawatt-hours of electricity, making it one of Europe’s largest long-duration energy storage systems.

In a video message Pope Leo urged Americans to uphold the ideals of the Declaration of Independence. “…the moral greatness of a nation is manifested above all in its capacity to support, protect and cherish the lives of all, especially the most vulnerable and those whose worth is questioned.”

It's the 10th anniversary of the dumbest moment in modern British history so let's celebrate some of the idiots who made it happen. First up ... Jacob Rees-Mogg and his promise of cheap food and wine... In fact food prices have increased some 12% as a direct result of Brexit (LSE) 1/5



Brexit will REDUCE food,
wine and clothes costs
by 20% - Rees-Mogg

Ten years ago today the whole country and its future were sacrificed on the altar of Boris Johnson’s ego, David Cameron’s stupidity and Nigel Farage’s prejudice. A decade thrown away and a nation left angrier and poorer. Thanks, you absoute pricks.

People who are getting super rich from property development should contribute fairly to the communities they profit from. Hannah Spencer, MP for Gorton and Denton, calls for a wealth tax on the super-rich to help councils tackle fly-tipping and invest in cleaner communities.

Last night City Hall shone green in memory of the 72 people who lost their lives in the Grenfell Tower fire. We hold their loved ones and the survivors in our thoughts. London will never forget them, and we will continue to stand with the community in their fight for justice.
Modern glass-and-steel civic building illuminated with green interior lighting at dusk, reflected in calm waterfront water beneath a cloudy blue evening sky.Angular contemporary city hall building with green-lit glass facade at twilight, with pedestrians walking in front and residential towers rising in the background.Close view of a modern geometric building with slanted glass walls glowing green at night, set against a deep blue sky with a city skyline visible in the distance.

Their promises of more jobs, more trade, more power for Britain have proved a con, Michael Heseltine writes as the Brexit vote 10th anniversary approaches. Never have so few done so much damage to so many with so little ability to execute what they lied about. Their scandalously false prospectus has turned to dust and ashes. Naturally, they blame everyone but themselves.
They are the guilty men and should...
