How can the EU commission be so slow.

Why pay billions to be locked in a system led by donkeys.

[Javier Blas @JavierBlas]

European Commission sounds the alarm (now !!!) about the number of oil refineries closing in the region over the last 20 years. "We need to counter this trend," says EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen. "This crisis is a wake-up call." Quite.

There is nothing socialist about a system of free movement that is used by multi-nationals to undermine wages. WATCH my Brexit speech today.

Those minded who defend this as irrelevant due to her great civil service experience are missing the point.

There are experts in this field who are better. They just won’t work for the money this pays.

So we end up with second best. A career civil servant with less expertise.

What are Deborah Petterson's qualifications for assessing grid capacity? Debs gained a PhD in Applied Ecology from Leeds University in 2001 & has been a Civil Servant since 2004, most recently cyber-security related. Joined NESO in Oct 2024. 🙏for us.

It is always the way. If you know anything about a subject it blows your mind how little the BBC experts actually do know.

BBC: Hablaremos con nuestro experto en seguridad de BBC respecto a la vulnerabilidad de PHP.

El experto en seguridad: No sabía que PHP existía hasta ayer en la mañana.

[Matthew Prince 🌥 @eastdakota]

Some stats on #php2shell. In the 10 hours before it was publicly announced, across the @Cloudflare network we saw thousands of attempts to exploit it. That jumped to tens of thousands in the 45 minutes post announcement, hundreds of thousands within 2 hours, and millions now.

@IntCyberDigest Mine found a miner running on a Wordpress site - it even traced access via a compromised file manage plugin. Claude code + ssh access to Wordpress servers is super smart for everything from design to updates to security and performance

@mindofprospect Really?

My @thetimes column: Four/five incidents in 2 weeks on the UK electricity grid. We’re begging France for power. Why are the grid bosses gaslighting us?

We owe £3 trillion. We spend more on working-age benefits than we raise in income tax. Our social security budget is five times our actual security budget. And these two are pretending to be gap-year vloggers in Bangkok.

Being as this is impossible and won’t happen is Barry basically a populist pandering to his base?

🚨 BREAKING: Andy Burnham says he will limit non-compete clauses in employment contracts

"Non-compete clauses will no longer be a barrier to hiring for our most promising start-ups"

Once, the British PM decided the fate of nations.
Now, he's a Tesco Value Martin Lewis.

So worried that he spends tax money on a service that exists for free from https://t.co/JlpwMj1Kqz... brilliant.

I know people are worried about fuel prices. And I get it. You get to the pump, watch the numbers climb, and wonder why it's costing so much more than it used to.

The reality is that global events are pushing up costs, and families here at home are feeling the impact.

But I won't accept that there's nothing I can do to help.

That's why from today, you'll be able to see petrol and diesel prices on Google Maps, compare nearby stations and find the cheapest option before you fill up.

It's a small change, but if there's a practical way to help people keep more money in their pocket, I'll do it.

[Al Campbell @C72Al]

@Hillingdon @NationalHways You can just do things. Remove it and take the risk.
