This is also why this government's monumental efforts to restrict immigration (that you can already see in numbers) don't improve their popularity since that sentiment they are appealing to is completely detached from reality.

A not-so-subtle reminder that we have chosen to publish Fantastic Kingdom in June, a few days before the 10th anniversary of you-know-what.
It is a book about United Kingdom, not just Brexit.
But guess what, it will come up.

The GB system ran this way from 1881-1926 ish and it proved inefficient so we built a so-called national grid instead. It’s given me a good living! I find trends do come full circle in history. Let’s see how this one pans out eh
Tomorrow - we launch the biggest investment in community energy in British history.
The Local Power Plan will build wealth and power in communities across the country - driven by communities, for communities, supported by Great British Energy.

An international team of scientists led by entomologists from our Biology Centre has found that higher temperatures significantly reduce the success of parasitoids – tiny wasps that help regulate insect populations in nature.

Can Mandelson be prosecuted?
We’ve discussed the law and the evidence with leading lawyers. The bottom line: "misconduct in public office" is the only viable route.
The law is messy and proving intent is hard - but we believe there is a realistic prospect of conviction.

What do people think of the Pitt Rivers Museum these days? I hadn't visited until my most recent trip to Oxford. I was really disappointed. It seemed that it had tied itself up in knots about colonialism & racism to the extend that the main thing on display was the museum itself.

From the start, the focus of the Trump administration's approach to Ukraine has been on US enrichment, friendly relations with Russia, and getting everyone else to treat Russia like a great power. The survival of Ukraine and European security are entirely irrelevant.
