Every few years, I search for this 2019 clip of Blair again. The bluntness of his ‚power is power!‘ doesn‘t only apply to geopolitics, but equally to energy policy & the delayed energy transition. Raw power. No longer a lack of technologies or knowledge.
Class act. This is the guy of whom Truss said she couldn’t decide if he was friend or foe. Despite all the abuse thrown by the Brextremists he remains a friend of 🇬🇧 and is signalling (probably to the next Government) a commitment to getting back to strong and positive relations
There are six times as many outdoor ads in the most deprived areas of England as there are in the least deprived.
Extraordinary new report by @adfreecities which shows how much advertising affects health and how it targets low income communities🧵

A moving and celebratory service of thanksgiving for the life of Alistair Darling in Edinburgh. Family, friends and the whole Labour tribe. I was his political opponent but he was always gracious, amusing and gave me some great advice when I followed him into the Treasury.
The Rwanda policy is the latest in a line of claims there’s an easy solution to illegal (and legal) immigration levels. The @Conservatives have fed that crocodile for years - now it’s biting them hard. Time for grown-up conversations instead of easy answers.
On our final #Thanksgiving in #Boston, I'm grateful for those who have shared their experience, expertise and enthusiasm with me. From north to south, east to west, New England is brimming with extraordinary, world-changing talented that I am privileged to see every day! 🇬🇧🇺🇸🍂
I don’t agree UK’s falling life expectancy is a mystery.
Causes are obvious - junk food, mouldy homes, dirty air, toxic work culture, failure to adopt modern medical advances and a political failure of ambition to make UK healthiest country in world. https://t.co/QBbPqRLt6e
22-year-old European boxing champion Maksym Galinichev has been killed in battle against the Russian Army near Kreminna.
He won silver at the Summer Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires in 2018.
This is why Russian athletes must be banned from the 2024 Paris Olympics
RIP Maksym
I certainly didn’t do a dry January- maybe I just pined for an unthirsty Thursday. So I had a go at a couple of no-lo wines; didn’t finish the glass; tried some zero alcohol gins and thought— WHY?? Then tried these no-lo beers - they were absolute crackers. No-lo? Stick to beer
Almost 1/4 young people believe the Holocaust was a myth. 🇳🇱
Only 1/2 think acknowledging and apologising is necessary.
Unthinkable only a few years ago. Anti-semitism is rising more than it has been for decades !
Let’s keep pushing back ! ✊🏻
