Imagine if in your weekly shop, you could pick up plug-in solar panels that help save on your energy bills? Well, in some parts of Europe you can do just that. We’re working with industry to bring plug-in solar to UK shops within months.

I wrote about why - with a million caveats - we might feel optimistic that Europe’s populist right is no longer advancing everywhere, all at once For @theleaduk.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/theleadu...

Across Europe, the far-right is no longer inevitable
The breakthroughs are less decisive, the contradictions harder to ignore, and the coalition more fragile. Are we seeing the beginning of the end of the populist right?

The US administration’s insanity on vaccines continues to have ramifications across the world – it is not that America will miss out on these potential new vaccines. It is that they simply won’t happen at all. (Or at least they’ll be indefinitely delayed.)

Kristi Noem billed South Dakota taxpayers more than $640,000 in personal travel-related costs, including a six-day trip to Paris, a bear hunt in Canada, a trip to Houston for dental work to fix her smile, and a book tour. But she can afford a $50,000 Rolex for a prison porn photo op in El Salvador.
