APPLEBAUM: Putin has grip on power unlike almost any other leader in the world. He controls enormous economic, political, social, propaganda levers. At the same time, it's important to remember that there's nothing more fragile than system in which there is no obvious successor. The funny thing about Putin is that not only do we not know who would replace him, we don't know how that person would be chosen. There's no Politburo, there's no Soviet Communist Party, there's no internal group that would choose the next leader. So, you have this weird, precarious situation where you have this strong system that, without him, would suddenly become very chaotic.

Even in the most ambitious solar scenarios less than 1% of UK land will be used. Climate change is a far greater threat to farming than renewable energy.
Replying to @mgshanks
See that thing in the picture as well as pylons? It's a tractor. They are used so farmers can grow our food efficiently. Plastering the landscape with "solar farms" won't grow our food You are destroying energy security via "green" but you are also destroying food security too.

The richest man on Earth dismantled the organization that feeds the poorest children on earth. The definition of evil is being a trillionaire in a world where millions of children are starving.

Military historian Phillips Oโ€™Brien: There have been no U.S. peace efforts in Ukraine. There have been efforts to get Putin a very good deal, forcing Ukrainians to give up more territory and people. That is not peace. That is Washington trying to deliver Putin a success. 1/

When Starmer's Government reduced eligibility for the winter fuel allowance they were accused by RW media of picking on impoverished pensioners. Now they're not commiting even more money to defence it's because Starmer doesn't have the courage to cut welfare. See how this works!
