Holding the ball! …or actually make that, the bill! Seriously, this guy breaks more tackles than most professional football players. Maybe we should look at him, Carlton FC

A saddened world. But our Red Flame Tree won't give up. Each year we wait & hope: will she bloom again?
Autumn 2024 ... and she has!🙏
Aflame right now, waving sweet hope.

Why the New York Times is becoming an indispensable source of news. Biden’s pausing heavy bomb deliveries is one of the most important inflection moments in the last seven months. The pressure for a sustainable ceasefire is going to become ever more intense.

Abstention is cowardly. Decades of denial of Palestinian statehood has served only extremists on both sides. It is a recipe for more hopelessness. More death. Time for some moral courage. #IsraelHamasWar RN Breakfast

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.
