Heading for more 30C days in the Heatons. Burnham was weak on environmental issues as mayor of GM. So I’m not expecting a strategic response from govt.
This is nuts. Rodri is an exceptional midfielder when fit. But you don’t offload two very good younger players to make room for him. This is more politics than squad building.
Roberto Lopez of Cape Verde famously plays for Shamrock Rovers. He was able to raise his game and be more effective than the three #Scotland centre backs put together. Just one of the reasons why #Scotland couldn't get out of the group stage at #WorldCup2026.
Despite what Tice and others may get the chance to say in the media, this is true. And I fear it will have consequences some way beyond the extremes of weather we've experienced in the last five years. #GlobalHeating www.ft.com/content/857d...
Last year my then 12 year old said 'the price of teeth tracks the S&P 500' citing this graph in an attempt to get more money out of us. Too clever by half.
Did anyone else in GM get this in the post today? Gonna call it out as BS. The mayoral election will not reflect an YouGov poll from March.
Here's Anthropic's new economist Chad Jones on the chances #AI will end the human race. 1/3 is not a bet I'm willing to make in this context. And I doubt I'm an outlier in terms of the views of civil society. From www.ft.com/content/bb04...
We were at almost 80% to go through after the Haiti result. A week is a long time in Scottish international football. #Scotland #WorldCup2026
Heat records broken in May and June. But hey, we need more North Sea fossil fuels and less Ed Miliband say Unite and GMB. I dispair.
Here's my deeply biased and flawed take on how #WorldCup2026 could play out. FWIW if Scotland make out out of the group stage I suspect we'll get France or Germany. Not the more beatable Mexico. Just a bit of fun using www.theguardian.com/football/ng-...
Brent crude price trend today. Spot the time of the IRGC press statement suggesting they could close the Strait of Hormuz.
In future I'm gonna have to talk to my PC? Will Linux go the same way or stay 'old school'? www.ft.com/content/58f9...
There are still a few #Brexit belivers www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Is this quote by Bill Winters of Standard Chatered survivable? I'm sure some wag will put Lower Value Human Capital on a t-shirt in time for the next Davos meeting or big #AI conference.
Fairly sure Connor Naismith is more on the Blue Labour wing of the party. Let's see where we are on Monday morning.
This is significant. Reform didn't win this, and the SNP held the Aberdeen seats. So much for End Net Zero.
This to me is the real kicker in the story. Is another glass panel falling from the Beetham Tower a tragedy waiting to happen?
Interesting coda to the podcast is that it looks like Iran's Saegheh drones are based on reverse engineering a captured US drone from 2011 #Blowback en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2...
Getting to where the France and Nordics are must be the inital objective
I’m guessing no one in the Trump team has bothered to read these. Plenty of insight into the strategic position of Iran and the wider Middle East.
IMHO you've got rethink repeating messaging that just failed so badly. Beyond time for a bit of reflection on what the past 18 months has meant to Labour voters and members.
