This is an excellent article which provides a very clear overview of the projects planned to upgrade our electricity grid. The benefits of this are enormous. What struck me is, for all the opposition, how little impact much of it will have. www.theguardian.com/business/ng-...

The Brexit tendency seem to be absolutely losing their minds over the government's refusal to get bullied by America into an illegal war. Quite something from the people who wanted "independence" and to "take back control."

I could have told them this in March 2020. These bastards f****d up every decision they needed to make. This was glaringly obvious every single day. We now know they partied their way through it whilst shoving all our money in their bank accounts. Lock them up. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Happened to be in Chicago today so stood with our brothers and sisters in the US fighting their fascist challenge. The parallels with our own anti Brexit marches were palpable. So many good, decent people standing up to the maniacs who want division. We need to stand up and say no. We are many.

URGENT. Democracy matters. The people of Hampshire are having ours taken away this May. Hampshire County Councillors are trying to cling on to their seats by cancelling this year's election. Scandalous. Please sign this petition for democracy.

Is it me or is Starmer really this weak a leader? He seems to be fanatically worried about what a few racist idiots will do if he doesn't kowtow to their every whim. Screw 'em. They won't be voting for you whatever happens. BE BOLDER AND LEAD !!! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

CHECK THIS OUT.... Very interesting. My dad found this 1964 newspaper cutting from The Daily Telegraph predicting the future of 1984. It's incredibly prescient and may actually be the last factual article published in the Telegraph. "Who needs Experts?"

Brexit makes no sense in a world dominated by Trump. Britain’s place is back in the EU | Jonathan Freedland

A refreshing detail from the #AssistedDying vote today is seeing MP vote when not under the whip. It's sort of how Parliament should work, isn't it? For once they voted according to their conscience on behalf of their constituents, rather than party ideology.

Has poppymania gone too far?
The long read: Over the past 20 years, the symbol of remembrance for the war dead has become increasingly ubiquitous – and a culture of poppy policing has grown with it

One of the few things that Trump and Vance are clearly campaigning on is lawlessness, breaking the rule of law and ignoring the constitution. Beyond the fundamental issue of the rule of law, Trump and Vance's announced plans spell economic disaster for the United States. youtu.be/872d8Fa6pNs

The Smile are SO damn good. So original yet prolific. I love how they develop their music on tour. Yesterday they drop TWO new tracks out of the blue, and announce a new album in 5 weeks; 9 months after their last. Not everyone's cup of tea, but everyone's wrong...as ever 😉 youtu.be/TJ4lG5Szr50?...
