I almost think it's naive to make such predictions considering the climate emergency.

[Rory Stewart @RoryStewartUK]

Indonesia could be on track to the the fourth largest economy in the world (ahead of the UK, Japan and even Germany) by 2050. I’m less convinced by the predictions for Nigeria in 2070 - although 1:10 children born in the world will be born in Nigeria within 25 years…(thanks to @ianbremmer for graph)

Bit rich of The Newsagents to be highlighting the juxtaposition of media reports about fires in Greece and the climate on a podcast *which is sponsored by one of the biggest investors in oil and gas worldwide* (HSBC)

This is from the *founder* of Conservatives Home. Sunak clearly crossed a line

Unbecoming from a Prime Minister

Are they called handles because you hold them with your hands?!

[Pete @Peter__Gibbs]

@iamtheshunt1 I do. Literally saw a picture of this earlier today. Up in the office at the Volly. Yours if you want it

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret A major constraint for first time buyers is the inability to produce a credit rating, despite paying rent, often for years (which is a higher monthly cost than a mortgage).

What is stopping the Govt from including rent to credit scores, and why haven't Labour been chasing this?

Today I learned that the person who invented tight suits was called Slimane.

Some nominative determinism strong enough for the @nosuchthing team I'd say.

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

Hedi Slimane, who helped kick off the trend for skin tight suits in the late 1990s/ early 2000s, was once the Creative Director of Saint Laurent Paris. And Yves Saint Laurent himself wore very slim suits on occasion. His body was built for it.

No spoilers, but this is the cleverest football advert I've ever seen.

@OfficialFPL The app is asking me to confirm my preferences but won't let me past this stage. Is there some sort of bug? I don't want to sign up to any emails

[Pete @Peter__Gibbs]

Really interesting, but problematic. They've made huge progress hutbat what cost. Is it worth sacrificing democracy for climate progress?

Would love to hear thoughts from China experts (@AbbeyHeffer?)

[Kyle 🚄 @KyleTrainEmoji]

The progress China has made in renewable energy just THIS YEAR makes the entire rest of the world look like it's standing still.

I wrote in December that to call China the "world leader in renewable energy" was a colossal understatement.

That’s even more true today.
