111 Union Street should be replaced by a larger and grander building that meets the roofline of its neighbour. It should be built in a Glaswegian Victorian style.

It’s possible, despite what weirdo architects and the developer lobby will tell us.

Wales’ electricity needs could treble by 2050.

Schemes like @StatkraftUK Greener Grid Park ensure we’re ready for future demands as we transition to more renewable energy.

Drwy gydweithio, gwnawn sicrhau fod gan Gymru'r seilwaith i ddelio a gofynion ynni gwyrdd y dyfodol.

Today we had the pleasure of welcoming First Minister of Wales, Eluned Morgan MS @PrifWeinidog, and the Ambassador of Norway to the UK, @AmbHattrem to break ground on our Swansea GGP, our first electricity grid stability scheme in Wales. 🏴

Just after resigning as Prime Minister in 1957, Sir Anthony Eden sailed to New Zealand. His steward on board ship was John Prescott…

The elections in which Georgia’s Russia-friendly government hopes to cement its power is looking a bit like a Russian election

[John Duncan Young @meJohnYoung]

Really worrying situation in Georgia.

[NEXTA @nexta_tv]

❗️BREAKING:

Local journalists document blatant election violations in Georgia

Some ballots were reportedly spoiled by pen marks left in the column for the Georgian Dream party.

If voters select a different party on such ballots, their votes are considered invalid.

Additionally, election observers were allegedly kicked out of some polling stations, with reports of physical altercations.

Cases of voter intimidation were also documented, with "activists" accompanying voters directly to the booth.

The great Iain Macleod’s account of the D-Day landings. What a piece of writing. Funny, poignant, perfect. https://t.co/cqmYBggwts

Exceptional and extraordinary. Whatever Ed Davey’s Lib Dem’s win at the election, he’s sped up appreciation for carers in the national conversation

Great to have the lighter nights in Scotland back again. More time to get out and enjoy the rain

Spending the weekend going round and round the Subway to see if I can catch one.

[John Duncan Young @meJohnYoung]

Excellent to see @Statkraft's innovative Greener Grid Park sites featured in @EdConwaySky's piece, showing how we can produce 100% clean inertia to provide grid stability.

This enables us to connect more renewables to the grid than ever before.

[Ed Conway @EdConwaySky]

The @StatkraftUK facility only came online this year. But it's a glimpse of something important. A potential solution for the inertia conundrum.
If we want 100% renewables we'll need lots of these spinning wheels alongside the wind/solar power

Major Dick Winters led perhaps the most storied U.S. Army unit in all of World War II.

On D-Day, he and his "band of brothers" in Easy Company defeated a far larger German force and allowed the Allied advance to continue.

At the Dachau concentration camp, they liberated scores of Holocaust prisoners who'd endured months, if not years, of hell.

And as the war in Europe drew to a close, they captured Hitler's personal mountaintop retreat in southern Germany — then kicked back on his terrace in triumph while sipping champagne from his wine cellar.⁠ ⁠

But for decades, Winters was reluctant to even tell his story, lest he be called a hero.

Eventually, however, Easy Company's harrowing and courageous exploits on the Western Front in 1944 and 1945 would be immortalized in "Band of Brothers."
