On holiday in Kent (close to where I am from) and made the 580 mile journey in one of our EVs. On the way we stopped at the Moto Rugby services which on a school holiday weekend, at lunchtime had charging bays galore. We stopped more for the kids than the car. Nae bother #EV #ElectricCar

A spectacular demonstration of how well thought through these tariffs are.

Last month I did a little experiment. I wanted to see how the exact same post would perform on both X (Twitter) and Bluesky. The results were...interesting... [Thread]

SitRep - 08/03/25 - Another barbaric missile strike in Dobropillia, Ukraine. An overview of the daily events in Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Today, Russia struck Dobropillia and killed 11 people and wounding 47 more, including 7 children. Murderers. REPOST=appreciated 1/X

Good night, sleep well, except US officials trying to bypass Ukraine on 'peace agreements'. See you tomorrow!

Hi All, just released this piece on the Trump plan for Ukraine as outlined by Secdef Hegseth. Guess what, its the same bad plan for Ukraine that Trump people have outlined since last summer (arguably worse). Putin gets major concessions before the talks even start. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

My focus remains on Tesla, but please pay attention what is happening in Memphis with XAI. Musk moved in under cover of NDAs, and is trying to steamroll local govt while he powers his AI cluster with gas turbines and no environmental permits. @emmabrody.bsky.social is on the ground, follow her!

Quietly, Hegseth announces a major policy change, ruling out Ukraine joining NATO. This is a capitulation to Putin, justifying his wars of aggression starting with Georgia in 2008. This will embolden Putin & undermine the interests of peace in Ukraine & Europe. A major blow to US national security.

Taking actions based on data, without understanding the context of that data, always leads to unintended consequences. The DOGE disciples are going to learn that a lot of what they have perceived as “waste” is money that has been spent in the US economy, supporting US jobs & US companies.

Reviewing data without any context is really dangerous. I have seen it so many times in big organisations, but this is so much more serious. Exhausted, very young, inexperienced and ideologically driven DOGE employees are going to make so many really bad calls and or interpretations.

“If a hostile foreign power wanted to compromise US intelligence capabilities, would their wishlist look any different from what the Trump administration is actually doing?” <~ this question applies to most of the actions taken by the Trump/Musk administration since it took office.

Absolutely ridiculous, especially when Hilary’s emails were such a big factor in Trump’s first win.

Do you know when happens when these offers land? All the most employable employees, the ones with the best prospects outside of Government, take it and run. It's a great ways to subject your entire organisation to a mass brain and talent drain in one fell swoop

Sunrise this morning from our bathroom window. Nae bad. #scotland

Insane, spiteful, ignorant and ideologically motivated.

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections." Each defendant assaulted him.

The sheer cost of this level of materiel lost is absolutely unreal. That is not to ignore the awful human cost too, of course.

"the same Brexiters who once insisted EU refrigeration standards for exported kippers, which turned out not to exist, were an intolerable violation of British sovereignty are now untroubled by a foreign oligarch openly engaged in overturning a British election"

Bloomberg reports that a Ukrainian defeat would cost the US $808 billion more than providing aid to Ukraine in its war against Russia. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

These guys are based in the village I have moved to. They have now donated well over 500 vehicles to Ukraine. The farmer founder has a long-standing business connection to Ukraine and many Ukrainian employees. What they when achieved so far is amazing. #ukraine #SlavaUkraini

Don't hate me but I've started a (free) substack. A sort of political journal to try and make some sense of it all. So here is the first one- why Farage may yet emerge from this humiliating day in a stronger position than before. Do subscribe ! goodallandgoodluck.substack.com/p/were-five-...
