    I agree with this. Don't pretend to know or have the expert knowledge to say if the current cuts are at the right level/time, but in principle environmentalists should celebrate when subsidies have done their job and can be safely phased out.

    It’s right the government gradually phases out EV subsidies, as the tech matures, prices come down & consumer demand surges. The 2030 ICE phaseout & the ZEV mandate send a clear signal to industry about need to ramp up supply of EVs to the UK market.

    Desmond Tutu was perhaps the great moral leader of his era. He refused to share a stage with Blair, calling him a war criminal. He called Israeli apartheid what it is. He said he’d rather go to hell than worship a homophobic God. Global celebrity never bent his morality.

    This morning's mission: to find rum and raisin ice cream with which to toast the life of the wonderful Desmond Tutu.

    Given the number of people still suffering massive financial hardship because of this Government's handling of the cladding scandal post Grenfell, is just about the last person who should be lecturing others on how they should react to it.

    Not sure what the point of releasing these figures is now. Over 100k cases reported today with about 70% showing SGTF, so almost certainly Omicron.

    Men have indeed been doing crucial Covid number-crunching, but because the pandemic did start a long time ago but not as far back as the Dark Ages, swathes of women have been doing it too 🦠📈

    The 2021 version of "When a tree falls in the forest and there is no one there to hear it..."

    GB News went off air for three straight hours and didn't mention it when they came back on.

    I've been keeping fairly philosophical about COVID stuff all going wrong as we reach a second Christmas again, but finding these two covers from a year apart is a bit depressing.

    Article says these plant leathers are 5-50% polyurethane so only "partially biodegradable". If you compost them you fill your garden with plastic fragments but you can't recycle the plastic because it is full of pineapple. Or am I missing something?

    Have you seen this ?

    Berris Conolly’s photos of London are wonderful. This, of The Kenton Arms in Hackney, from 1979, is close to perfect. (Via .)

    Portugal starting to vaccinate 5-16 yr olds today, France next week. Denmark and Austria have been since November. is oddly silent about why the UK hasn't even approved a jab, despite his repeated (if false) claims we can move faster than the EU post-Brexit.

    It would save the a lot of time if they just printed the words "It may not be true" on page 1 every day, just under the masthead. A once great newspaper that has been systematically destroyed by being turned into a propaganda sheet.

    I was there and it definitely isn’t true. Or believable.

    Deeply sceptical a new team at No. 10 is what is needed to change Boris Johnson. However good your team, if you can't make decisions and keep denying stuff only to be found out later, they won't save you.

    Friday morning: after disastrous by-election loss, Tory backbenchers warn Boris Johnson "one more strike and you are out." Friday afternoon: it is revealed that Boris Johnson appointed a man to investigate Downing Street parties had held his own parties.
