If the rumours are right and the UK, almost unilaterally given current global trends, cuts R&D funding at this critical moment, we're going to drift even further behind in economic growth, soft power, education, science, research, engineering, you name it .....

Airport expansion means accelerating climate breakdown. The UK government's announcement of an extension of #Stansted is yet another assault on human and planetary wellbeing.

@ScotNational Every £1 we invest against fuel poverty saves the NHS at least 40p. The Labour Government should rethink this policy. It does not make economic sense. (Views are of Neil Barnes, Voluntary Lead of Linlith-Go-Solar).

BREAKING: The UK and Scottish governments are facing legal action on their decision to cut the Winter Fuel Payment.

A couple from Coatbridge have raised proceedings for judicial review of the decision in the Court of Session. Former FM Alex Salmond has given his backing.

Survey Finds 70% Of US Farmers Are Open To Large-Scale Solar On Farmland https://t.co/0sf8NtU17Y via @cleantechnica

If large-scale solar projects can allow for the continued use of their land for agricultural production, 70% of US farmers are open to the idea of solar developments on their farmland, according to the results of a new survey from the Solar and Storage Industries Institute. The survey, which sought to measure the opinions about solar on farmland from hundreds of farmers and solar developers, plus some utility stakeholders, is the first of its kind in the US, and was used to build a new report laying out some of the barriers to new agrivoltaic projects.

How did it Mohamed Al Fayed get away with it for so long? Because of the networks of social protection that surround all powerful people: power looks after power. Here is @piersmorgan in 1999, saying the quiet bit out loud:

@RoryStewartUK @RestIsPolitics "a very dark day for fundamental human rights in the UK"

That's not from us. That's from Michel Forst, the U.N. special rapporteur. over 60,000 people have signed the petition for their release, including 10+ MPs .

Will you add your name @RoryStewartUK?
