Why vote on Thursdays which only favours pensioners? Make it a friday bank holiday and keep polls open all weekend.

I understand UK private pension payouts fall well short of less chaotic markets in some other countries.

If tumbling international birthrates inevitably leads to a skilled immigrant shortage (already happening in East Asia) what's the plan B? Not convinced Farage nagging (white) women to have more kids will work.

Don't have anything against babies or immigrants but don't understand how infinite exponential population expansion is a sustainable model to fund pensions.

Evidence overwhelmingly shows population expansion will boost GDP, India has a massively higher GDP than Luxembourg. So what?

If thickoes from Walsall tip elections and don't want high immigration, can't see them changing their minds. Its like Farage badgering young (white) women to have more kids, they're not. As long as you level with people about the challenges of depopulation. Which wiil happen anyway.

Won't be long before UK governments are scratching their heads asking why so few want to come here. Destination choices for skilled migrants are growing as birthrates tumble.

I agree, welcome those you invite here. But does it matter if you don't want to be a citizen? Working in another country for a few years is more attractive to many people than permanent emigration.

In Prof. Hein de Haas's 'How migration really works,' its claimed the percentage of the globe's economic migrants has hardly changed in half a century (under 5%). Now global birthrates are falling is a migrant shortage a real possibility? What would Reform talk about, woke milk and wind turbines?

Just heard the saddest news. My friend Keith "Tha Missile Bass" Bailey whose band Here and Now were the best thing to happen in my life has left us to play the great gig in the sky. Aside from his music he was an absolutely top fella and a legend on the festival scene. Heartbreaking news. RIP mate x

How beautiful are these solar modules‽ They are designed specifically for agricultural installations and only convert into electricity the wavelengths of sunlight plants do not use for photosynthesis.the results are improved harvest and more comfortable greenhouse spaces.

In 2025, convinced by the potential of Voltiris technology, Ruedi Meier and Toni Suter became the first growers in the world to adopt the Voltiris solution at the hectare scale—a major milestone in their journey toward CO₂-neutral greenhouse production.

Our project looked at climate neutrality 🇩🇪 2045. Buildings built in '25 have an operational greenhouse gas emission budget of 6.86 kg CO2e/(m²*a) + embodied 6.41 kg CO2e/(m²*a). By 2045, these budgets will be reduced to 1.05 and 0.79 kg CO2e/(m²*a), respectively. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

The Wildlife Trusts published a report detailing the decline of the UK’s environment over the last 10 years. Despite promises from successive governments to improve protections for nature after leaving the EU, this new report shows that things have actually moved in exactly the opposite direction.
