Despite what you hear from fossil fuel-funded politicians, the U.K has just generated a record amount of clean, domestic wind energy.
Enough to power 23 million homes!
U.K decarbonisation policy is a recipe for energy security.

Catching up with politics wales, @NickServini very good with jack sarge. UKIMA regeneration argument a bit moot to me as both wales and Westminster support the wrong approach generally.
Worth a watch for his words on big investment in Wrexham and surprising support for the WRU

Love most sports but the Villa v arsenal game - last minute winner at villa park - shows why for me the prem league is the best aport to watch about. Top speed, end to end, fantastic atmosphere.
Few others compete with the full package.

The Gates Foundation issued a report Thursday that said about 200,000 more children worldwide under age 5 have died or will die this year compared with 2024. Last year saw 4.6 million children die before their age 5, but that is projected to increase to 4.8 million in 2025.

Tesla makes up less than 2%.

Now, you would expect me to say this as chair of the board
But frankly this was fantastic. Beat Xmas show I think @sherman theatre have produced.
If you want to support local theatre, start a family tradition, (or leave the family at home even 😉) there are far worse ways to spend a few hours.

The dreamy barrel-vaulted choir ceiling @carlislecathedral.bsky.social. The structure is from circa 1400, but the heavenly painted decoration is from a 19th century restoration, repainted in 1970. #CeilingsOnSunday #Carlisle #Cumberland #Cathedrals
