A few years ago I was lucky to get improved house insulation via the government. It has been better for me and the planet than cheaper natural gas. We need better public transport and alternatives to fossil fuel vehicles. Use the tax to make improvements. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Do some people have to learn other strategies before they are ready to learn to read? There is no standard "wiring" for our brains. It is one of the reasons different people have different skills.

So 9455 people voted for the candidate who did turn up for the results rather than the absentee who made the event happen. Will Clacton ever get to see the person they elected except on BBC question time? Is this Count Binface's best result ever? Will he be PM if his growth in vote continues?

Some reports of European housing being designed to keep warm have sounded like criticisms. A few years ago the government paid for the insulation of my house to be upgraded. At the moment my house is 9 °C cooler than outside with no air-conditioner. Insulation keeps out the worst of the heat.

A vertical cartoon infographic called 'A guide to eclipses'. It contains three rows with four cards with points, each explaining one type of eclipse, from solar to lunar, but also including cultural references to songs like 'Total eclipse of the heart' and movies like 'Twilight Saga'. The layout and texts were created by M. West in PowerPoint, using Kristen ITC font, and contains AI-enhanced versions of his original images. A PDF can be downloaded here: https://shorturl.at/awQq6
