    Fantastic ⁦⁩ reporting on how Amazon bent over backwards to sell kindle & cloud services in China, including by promoting Xi’s books as “best sellers,” censoring reviews of propaganda films & providing a dissident’s IP address to authorities

    Well - gets to own the middle in German politics now…. Which I think should give wind in his back in state elections in 2022 and - whisper - Bundesrat control. Perhaps then comes back from the right wing wilderness?

    Nice - and happy to see the charts now published when wants it.... but repeating myself ad nauseam why haven't this been done on a say bi-weekly basis since say April 2021? All data freely available on the website for reproduction countless times?

    To end the pandemic, we need to fight it everywhere.   The EU is the largest donor and exporter of vaccines in the world.   And we work closely with our partners to further speed up delivery and step up capacities to manufacture vaccines worldwide.

    Fuldstændig korrekt set af - DK's EU politik har reelt været afstumpet siden 2. euro-afstemning og Fogh + DF's magtovertagelse. INGEN politisk vilje til engagement siden, og derfor efter nogen år heller længere nogen indsigt i EU's funktionering.

    Jeg er oprigtigt bekymret over regeringens EU-politik. EU bliver talt ned og latterliggjort, og der tegner sig et billede af en regering, der ikke har styr på EU-arbejdsgange og ikke formår at få indflydelse. Læs mit indspark i 👇🏼

    Unægteligt rart, når nu og den "borgerlige" sparsommelige opposition i hellere vil isolere Danmark og svække det i EU, at der findes dansk-sindede med mod på Europa. Tillykke med det og god (hav)vind

    England's planning system is so restrictive, that the London Blitz, by making particular sites in central London open to repeated redevelopment after the war, increased the average Londoner's income today by 10% and output by £50 billion a year.

    In the next days, graphs (like👇) will show explosions of omicron & lockdowns will re-appear across Europe. To motivate fatigued publics, it is key to not just appeal to fear. Communication should help people cope & envision how to pull thru. An evidence-based 🧵 on how. (1/5)

    EU carbon prices will - on the post-COP26 price trend - hit €90/$100 THIS week…. That’s change I can believe in!

    Easy 2B cynical re. global governance, climate & how the pandemic "messes up all economic data". Maybe it is the pandemic related energy price increases (more fossil fuel being burned) that pushes prices up and its "transitory", but maybe carbon markets giving 👍 to 1/2
