FFS. This is how I got my electric wheelchair. Not a Mercedes.
But so what if people get a good car on it, anyway? There's an assumption that disabled people and others with benefits must suffer and not have any nice things in life.

“The Motability scheme was set up to protect the most vulnerable. Not to subsidise the lease on a Mercedes Benz,” Reeves says.
Misleading and nasty in equal measure.

They can, but need to be correctly sized (others have already mentioned that). However, I think the gist of the article is: Fabric measures provide comfort; heat pumps provide heat; there's way more to comfort than just heat.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

here’s another by Silvia Dobson. think a lot of this poetry is pretty fine. someone could do worse than finding out who is the executor of these writers’ estates (i know at least Oswell must have someone, he’s had stories reprinted recently) and republishing some of their poetry.

It is almost 15 years since England last won a test in Australia. Some of our players were still learning to talk back then. What this all means is we believe that we and others are deserving of a five match series in Australia. Even our number 11 can score a pair.

We have knee jerk reactions these days -you’re either hero or villain. Surely we just need to reassess, learn from mistakes, actually listen to those in the know rather than dismiss them as ‘has-beens’ & be flexible with your Bazball plan? And VALUE YOUR DOMESTIC FIRST-CLASS CRICKET #TheAshes

45 years ago I made a pitch for the Director-General job. Didn’t get it – mind you, I was only 13. But I did get a reply from Ian Trethowan, who was DG at the time. All these years later I’m proud to work for the BBC.

Is there such a thing as a Wasserhüpfburg in English?! Hüpfburg is bouncy castle. You can have inflatable water slides but I can't think what to call this. It's only a throwaway line, memory of a summer past, don't want to make a big thing of it. They swam "über die Bucht zur großen Wasserhüpfburg".
