Nice little innovation to turn Metro turnstiles in Paris into electrical power generators. At scale this can bring about a nice additional reduction in emissions. Great to see!

Germany is lobbying hard for the UK to enter a customs union with the EU not least so it can participate in a huge increase in EU defence spending. But the UK refuses to abandon its Little England Brexit stance. Another mistake in Starmer’s catalogue of errors www.politico.eu/article/germ...

"The former chancellor might quibble about the extent of the damage his party caused to British businesses but no one credible now argues that Brexit has been anything but a disaster. "And certainly not those who export." - @pimlicat.bsky.social www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

There is an inverted sense of causation in such stories so ingrained it’s impossible to discuss on its own terms: perhaps we should ask if abandoning public health while cutting back welfare to force ppl back to work during a still raging pandemic had any political consequences?

When considering the UK’s goal to reach net zero by 2050, the science is very clear. Furthermore, net zero can make the UK economy resilient, productive and competitive. To ensure continued public support, fairness and choice are vital🧵 buff.ly/AQVfXVv

Single disabled people are already four times more likely to be falling behind on their bills, six times more likely to go cold and nine times more likely to skip meals. Cuts will make things worse www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/pol...

This is absolutely shocking. Surely instead of cutting benefits for disabled people, the moral thing to do would be to introduce a wealth tax on the very wealthiest people in our society? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

If Starmer considers the current benefits system 'unfair' then he should introduce Universal Basic Income. #UBI is a far fairer system that eliminates eligibility assessment & enforcement and all the associated waste in resources. Zack Polanski wrote a good UBI article for The Big Issue recently:
