russians kill children, women and men, the young and those whose hair has turned silver. russians destroy homes where someone had breakfast yesterday. They burn warehouses full of books. putin is evil. But this evil has hands that kill, destroy and burn.

NEW: Kemi Badenoch’s flagship party conference policy document, The Right Way, overestimated the cost of net zero by nearly £500bn, seemingly after someone accidentally double-counted figures on a spreadsheet. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

#bbcworldservice #weekend #julianworricker What a marvellous programme - major world news stories explored and explained. Informative and compelling interviews. Essential Sunday morning listening.

Took a bit of scrolling around in the app but I left my mark! (Politely)

It probably won't make a difference but I just looked up Lake Ontario on Google maps, this is what appears. Click into the 3 vertical dots in the descriptor and report the summary as inaccurate. Might do it a few more times throughout the day.

The Guardian's front page today. Further, faster - good. Now we need to go beyond the red lines. There's no other policy lever available to Burnham that can deliver as much growth - £92 billion - as EU membership.

Farage resigns his seat in Clacton forcing a by election which he ... er plans to stand in. Huge performative cost to the taxpayers to feather his ego. I hope it backfires spectacularly

Wednesday marks 10 years to the day since Cameron resigned to let Brexit usher in a new era of stable self governance. Since then we've burned through: 5 more prime ministers 8 chancellors 8 home secretaries 9 foreign secretaries 10 education secretaries 10 defence secretaries Masterful work.

UK should rejoin EU, says man who led UK govt Brexit Dept in 2017-2019. “Heady promises” of the Leave campaigns had not materialised. UK taken a "significant hit to GDP as a result of leaving the single market”. Global changes require new reflections. archive.ph/Y6oyF

In the past month, we've been driving change from the Department for Education: New Best Start family hubs New Best Start school-based nurseries New Best Start free breakfast clubs We're boosting family finances and children's life chances, because this Labour government is on your side.

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened. Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah. (h/t @iainsol.bsky.social)

“Brexit betrayal” - oh for god’s sake.. Every day, we’re paying to be poorer. We’re paying to be second class citizens on our own continent. We’re paying to queue. We’re paying for more red tape. We’re paying to be less secure and less trusted. Brexit IS the betrayal. And so is defending it.

Denmark didn’t “transition” its grid—it replaced it. ~15% → 92% renewable electricity in 25 years. Wind did the heavy lifting. Solar is scaling. Interconnection balanced. Flexibility solved variability. Wind built it. Solar is scaling. Fossil lost it. This IS system replacement. ⚡#Bettrification
