UK diesel price hits record high of £2 a litre. Record profits for oil companies and tax take by govt. Also tells story of deindustrialization: In the 1970s the UK had 18 oil refineries, now 4. We are rightly moving to renewables but economy still left vulnerable. Any national planning?

Suella Braverman’s parents emigrated (they were horrible economic migrants not from a war zone she hates). She went to Cambridge for free and didn’t collect £27k debt like everyone else. Scrounger. She used the Erasmus scheme to study in France. Which she has blocked. Horrible

Is this the same as Labour party members calling themselves ‘centre-left’ and ‘woke’ while they ignore people’s rights being removed and minorities and the marginalised being ostracised and demonised? Some people need to learn what words (particularly political ones) actually mean

💢 Israel has killed 1,402 Palestinians and carried out more than 5,000 ceasefire violations in Gaza

Israeli forces have carried out at least 5,064 ceasefire violations across Gaza since the ceasefire agreement took effect, including 2,187 airstrikes and shelling attacks and 2,097 incidents of live fire, according to a report shared by the Palestinian side with mediators and obtained by Drop Site News.

Since the “ceasefire” took effect, 1,402 Palestinians have been killed — including 300 children, 141 women, and 42 elderly — and 4,880 wounded, nearly half of them children, women, or elderly. Another 194 Palestinians have been detained.

Israel also continues to hold approximately 34 square kilometers beyond agreed withdrawal lines and has blocked urgent repairs to electricity, water, and sewage infrastructure, as well as the entry of heavy machinery.

▪️ Only 13,397 of 34,400 planned crossings through Rafah were carried out (~38.9%)
▪️ Only ~34.6% of agreed humanitarian and commercial aid has entered — an average of about 208 trucks per day vs. 600 agreed
▪️ Fuel deliveries at just 15.4% of agreed levels

Stunning sunset. This happens because of a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering: cirrus clouds scatter shorter blue/violet wavelengths away and allowing longer red/orange wavelengths to dominate. Original post

Buster Keaton was different. Not only did he perform all of his own stunts: he made sure they were real. Not only did Keaton do all his own stunts, but, when needed, he acted as a stunt double for other actors in the films. Original post
