There are still months of talks ahead between member states and Parliament, so the final outcome’s unclear. But they seem broadly aligned in wanting to roll most of it back.
But lawyers told @euobserver.com last week, these plans are likely to hit legal challenge

These rules, born out of the 2013 Rana Plaza sweatshop disaster in Bangladesh, which killed over 1100 people, are meant to hold companies accountable for harm to people and planet. But under the new plans, they’d apply to fewer than 1000 corporate groups across Europe.

“Trees are the sponges and the mops we use to clean up the mess. But if the taps are still running and the water’s pouring out over the edges of your bathtub, destroying your bathroom and your home, maybe you’ve got to learn to turn off the taps too.” @globalecoguy.bsky.social

It definitely is. Now I live close enough to work that I can walk, but when that wasn't the case, it could be around £200/month for transport. How is that not a large proportion of a household's bills?

...accepting the permanent jurisdiction of the Court in the mid 1990s; (iii) ECHR incorporation via the HRA - 1997 manifesto approved - was done by Parliament in full knowledge of the Court's established interpretative approach; while (iv) the UK was encouraging CEE states to ratify the ECHR.

I am so sick of feeling that this government cares little about representing the principles of the people who voted for them and that the system has few incentives to make them do so

Why don't they just say "we want mathematicians and computer scientists" instead of sounding like prats

And I am surprised to find the BBC's explanation much clearer, as the FT is my favourite news source. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I think scientists should be limited to publishing no more than 1 paper a year as fist author, and no more than 2 as a collaborating author. That's it. Maybe even less.
Tenure / review / grant review committees should enforce this.
It might force people to write fewer, but better, pieces.

I almost drowned too in a wave pool and I am a good swimmer. It's so weird and unpredictable how it happens. The lifeguard did notice and pulled me out.

"The Home Office has been approached for comment" okay but any comment other than "OBVIOUSLY we aren't gonna deport kids without their parents, that'd be insane, jesus someone here really fucked up" would make you a sociopath

Because once governments become able to decide who is entitled to fundamental protection and who isn't, we're automatically all at risk (see the US and the attempt to remove habeas corpus from migrants). It's very much the fundamental premise, without which fundamental rights stop being 'human'. /2

It feels quite telling that if I had bowel surgery I'd be signed off from my desk job for like a month (at least according to Google) but the much more physically demanding task of childcare is apparently fine to start overnight right after the surgery if the surgery is for a baby

Beyond that though, I have been doing this sci comm stuff for a long time, and I have NEVER before known a time when I've had to grapple with so many nonsensical claims from tech leaders. There's just a constant stream, which most of the media gobbles up. I'm frankly really tired of it. 9/9

The report (of which only press reports are available) points the finger to
1 conventional backup plant taken offline for maintenance without replacement being arranged
9 other conventional backup plants, of which every one had a degree of non-compliance
