Primoz Roglic: "The team decided that Kuss wins this Vuelta. I have mixed feelings."
Understandably, Rogla wanted to race. Can't blame him for that even if I prefer much more the current scenario. Anyway, the best thing for cycling fans is if he will leave the team next year. Jumbo 1-2-3 is not good at all for the sport btw. #Lavuelta23
Shifty Sunak says he believes in net zero but doesn’t want to load costs onto ordinary people, it’s the new Tory mantra. Ironic, given huge the rises in energy, food and mortgage costs they’ve already imposed on the nation. And deceitful because ordinary people are being loaded with this cost. The savings gifted to house-builders will be paid by us all. He’s doing precisely what he said he isn’t. And it’s not a net zero issue btw - that’s misdirection. This is about water pollution. Sunak talks shite while allowing more shite to be pumped into our rivers and seas. That’s the news.
UK public debt

Feb 2020: £1.791tn, 79.1% of GDP

Tories borrowed more than all Labour Govts combined.
Squandered on tax cuts for corporations/rich, contracts for cronies.
No new industries.

My daughter is 11 and for kids her age, “Brexit” has become a pejorative adjective. So, a kid who comes to football practice with beaten up looking trainers gets them called “Brexit boots”. I don’t think Brexiters consider the degree to which they’ve lost the next generation.
Between 2006 and 2022, train operating companies invested just 1% of the money spent on the railways.
Between 2013 and 2022, train companies had 126% return on capital employed -they invest little
65% of profits go in dividends.
Privatisation is a scam.

UK drivers shocked as car insurance costs soar by up to 90%.
Rate of inflation (CPI) was 7.9% in June.
It is profiteering, fuelling inflation and business/private costs. Ever seen a poor insurance company director?
Still, no curbs on profiteering.

Former Ministers could be fined for breaching lobbying rules under Labour.
Not good enough to clean-up politics.
Also need
Ban on funding for parties/legislators from rich/corporations.
No 2nd jobs for MPs.
Public filing of tax returns of all Ministers.

Today, @AngelaRayner sets out Labour's plans for a new independent watchdog to restore trust and integrity in politicians.
It's time we turned the page on Tory sleaze.

Responsiveness is extremely underrated.
Doesn't need to be instant - but a day or two going by without a response is infuriating for all parties involved.
Can even respond and say you're busy and give realistic timeline expectations...
Its something all 10x employees are good at.
Onshore Wind Turbines cost 40% of offshore ones, pay for themselves in 9 months and generate 37x their cost in electricity.
The electricity they generate is 8 times cheaper than gas. Far too cheap, which is why Rishi Sunak has banned them.
RT if you want cheap green power.
Street forest-bathing 🧘🌳
The well-being benefits of forest-bathing are well known
We say, bring these benefits into the world outside our front doors 🏡
There’s potential to add millions of trees into UK’s streets, to create a 🌳national street forest🌳

Deidre Brock, "We saw the photos of Boris Johnson surrounded by empty champagne bottles.. How Matt Hancock got his pandemic strategy from the Contagion movie.. And how Rishi Sunak got a FPN over partygate.. Boris Johnson lied and lied and lied, all the while the liar was protected by procedure.."
