so worked out my costs for the german trip as below, note UK is cheap as first 75KWh was done at home so brought overall cost down, would have to include 15 quid for the cost of ionity & tesla memberships. Some assumptions though, especially on petrol cost where germany and france are higher than UK

well @quietriotpod.bsky.social Bryan nails it here and of course this chorus is either tufton street people or millionnaires
Dear Daily Mail
*No, she doesn't*
She *isn't* "pricing young people out of work".
When I left school at 18, I started at the same wage as any other age worker doing the same job would have - I wasn't penalised for being young, & neither should today's 18yr olds be.

so despite all that was said and leaked nothing changed ?? just like I did, some pundits never learn, wait for the budget everyone !!
Some details about the heat pump grant updates.
One grant per household.
Gas boiler must be removed (you can't install A2A just for air conditioning).
The A2A system must be MCS certified.

Having served on a jury in a rape trial, I'd have preferred a judge to decide guilt/innocence than a bunch of people who were sadly incapable of applying any logic to the clear evidence they were presented with and prepared, given their blatant sexism, to see the defence counsel destroy the victim.

Whatever else this government do (and there's plenty of issues with this budget) ministers will always be able to point to this as an incredible important contribution to the country's future. Almost half a million kids taken out of poverty.
Scrapping the two-child limit in full is a monumental decision. Well done to all involved in the Child Poverty Strategy, and everyone who has made the case against the policy.
OBR says scrapping costs £3 billion in 2029-30 and will lift 450,000 out of poverty

Wow this aquifer is fucked fucked. A cursory read
- contaminated groundwater down 900 (!) ft.
- ~9 mile footprint
- hydrocarbon, chlorinated solvents, pcbs, and presumably tonnes of metals.
- all under parks, suburbs, and playgrounds and the towns drinking water.

of course the truth russia taped this and leaked it to discredit trump after he backslid on the 'deal' ?
Large parts of the Western far left and far right agree on defending Witkoff, Flynn, and Putin because the horseshoe theory actually works quite well in the case of Russia

so fascinating to see how the GOP are reacting ... and clearly this deal is dead of course as Ukraine continue to destroy russian infra
Republican Congressman Don Bacon slammed U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff. “If he were a paid Russian agent, would he be doing anything differently? He must be removed.” Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick added, “These secret side shows need to end. Let Secretary Rubio handle this with fairness and objectivity.”

Device…hoarding. Because you don’t go get a new one while yours is still fine.
Apparently I am also practicing car hoarding, house hoarding, husband hoarding, dog hoarding, computer hoarding, furniture hoarding and art hoarding.
