It would be interesting to know how much diplomacy from Iran allies / sympathisers / non hostile countries is going on behind the scenes. And will the Iranian leadership feel any pressure from countries like China?

All surviving former IDF Chiefs of Staff, Mossad directors, Shin Bet Chiefs and Police Commissioners have issued a joint statement warning Israel that Netanyahu is leading the nation to unprecedented defeat. (Restart Israel)

It's especially strange when you hear the administration talking about the foreign policy pivot to Asia from Europe. There will be nothing to pivot towards if they have lost all their allies in the region.

But is that a cast iron fact? Putin threatened a nuclear response if Russia was targeted early in the war but backed down when targets were hit and it was shown to be bluster. You might be right but I don't think we would know for sure.

I actually read it as that when I first saw the message...sub conscious is on point

In a nutshell, parenting involves an initial sacrifice in wellbeing that is paid off in the future. Yes, you’ll be tired and less happy now, but reap the rewards in your 60s and 70s…

As someone who grew up nearby, I love revisiting Avebury and the surrounding area. It genuinely feels quite mystical and forgotten (especially in winter).

What being a pedestrian feels like when you’ve surrendered too much space to cars, leaving too little for everyone and everything else. Powerful llustration by Karl Jilg for the Swedish Road Administration.

This is a historical milestone. In 2010, about 75% of the UK's electricity came from fossil fuels.

Great summary Kevin. Having engaged in the process on the other side of the table, all the points you raise are relevant to nearly all committees.

I heard on an FT podcast yesterday that government/Russian/Iranian forces are responsible for 90% of deaths since the start of the civil war. Makes it easier to understand why some people are seeing HTS as the lesser of two evils and hoping that they have moderated their views.

Very chaotic right now, after Yoon's surprise declaration at nearly 11 p.m. Leaders of both parties going to the national assembly, though it's not clear who can exit or enter. Lots of police officers forming blockade outside the national assembly, according to live footage on air.

I think you're right Charlie on that last option - especially if we continue to be unlucky with injuries. Luckily other teams around us are having similar issues which should take a bit of pressure off.

There was an absolutely silly 'X' post by David Frost (yes, that David Frost, the guy who negotiated whatever the hell happened with Brexit) about how "windmills" and solar cause system costs to rise due to needing 'back up'. So I broke it down a bit for your enjoyment:

I was also reading that this approach introduces more fluid engagements which suits Ukr capabilities. The attritional engagements this year are more comfortable for Rus. Let's see how this plays out.

It's the right move. He's acting recklessly and it's hard to support a platform that is so wrapped up in his image now.
