What a week … Brasília was stormed and ransacked by right-wing rioters, United staged an unlikely comeback to win the derby and my son was born
I’m clocking off for some family time now 👶🏻

I don't think that people in the north quite appreciate what great stuff they get in the south. The difference in investment is excruciating. The south gets Crossrail and swanky stations and evermore lines to London, and commuters in the North have to travel on busses converted to trains, don't get high speed rail, and Leeds is the biggest urban area in Europe by far without mass rapid transit. The North-South divide is a choice, not an economic inevitability, and it's crippling England.

"Aside from significant capital required for new equipment and factories, low-carbon versions of industrial commodities — whether chemicals or cement — often have initially higher production costs and limited buyers"
