An innovative floating offshore solar project that generates electricity and converts seawater into drinking water. The farm near Gran Canaria produces 85 MW of renewable electricity while using that same power to operate reverse osmosis systems that desalinate seawater #ActOnClimate #renewables

My sister has just had this pamphlet published about our late father's train . The significance is that this was the first train saved from Barry Island and it opened the door for many other trains to preserved. 43924 is now on the Keighley and Worth Valley railway. Pamphlet kingfisher productions
Tommy Robinson sent a letter to himself, he meant to log out and send it from a different account. But he didn't. Don't RT 🤣
Apparently, on Christian album covers in the ’60s, the only thing worse than the hair was the obliviousness to the lewd double entendres.
I dare anyone to come up with a worse album cover than this.
The remains of the Ludendorf Bridge at Remagen. It was built 1916-18 to get German troops quicker to the western front. In the second world war it was taken by the Americans enabling the allies to get across the Rhine easily. There is a great museum here, 6 euros entrance. Highly recommended.
Just picked up a couple of the Dupont bio Saison. Interesting new ingredient I have never seen before, wheat syrup. Why does a beer like this require sweetning?
Gary Lineker and 120 other UK millionaires have signed a letter, organised by Patriotic Millionaires UK, to Andy Burnham. It says: 'our new government must raise taxes on extreme levels of wealth for a fairer, better, more hopeful Britain. 'It's time to tax us, the super rich. #TaxTheRich ✅️
I have to admit that I didn’t know, and I even thought the Spanish player Cucurella’s look was quite original, when it comes to his hair, but I was unaware of this: If he let his hair grow , it’s so that his autistic son can easily recognize him when he watches him on TV. Truly, this Spanish team ❤️
If you've read E.P. Thompsons the making of the English working class, this is a great book picking up the story. The value of a historical understand of the past can't be overstated. We need to be aware of the struggles of previous generations and make sure politicians don't repeat their errors.
Whoopi: He looks like somebody inserted his picture… Ana Navarro: He inserted himself. I don’t know how this guy thinks that he’s not going to get booed…
Spain’s Nico Williams gave his mother, Maria, his World Cup winner’s medal after Sunday’s final ❤️💛 Nico's parents trekked some 2,000 miles across the Sahara from Ghana to Spain as refugees. Now, their son is a world champion 🥹
Really enjoyed chatting with James Naughtie on Radio 4’s Reflections today about my time in Parliament - on everything from the new GCSE in Natural History to getting arrested, from post Brexit to prorogation. And it was only ever so slightly like an obituary 😬

The French national memorial to the members resistance who were killed. There's over 2,000 people buried here in Chassenuil. Behind the moment are the crosses with the name, if known,and the date they were killed.
I have never seen a monument before for republicans from the Spanish Civil War. Thousands fought for the French in 1940 and those captured by the Germans were sent to Mauthausen. This monument commemorates the first train leaving with 927 republican prisoners from Angouleme,France in August 1940.
The Charante River in France, one of the ten longest rivers in France. This is the strech out Cognac.
So excited to see this! Over 4 episodes I cover the hugely alarming conclusions of the Joint Intelligence Ctte Report, shamefully suppressed by Government, & explore its implications for our food and water security. @nebriefing.bsky.social @climatemajority.bsky.social @chrisgpackham.bsky.social
Climate breakdown isn't just an environmental issue - it's fast becoming a national security crisis. Our major new investigative series with Caroline Lucas starts Friday, exclusively for TRIP + members.
Great quote fron Mbappe, "Sports betting is destructive,” Mbappé said. “It has ruined the lives of some people I know. That’s why I refused to appear in sports betting advertisements. Many of us come from the suburbs, and it destroys the lives of countless people there.”
The anti-black racism needs to end. The Argentinian team is all white Italians and no one bats an eye. 60%-70% of France team have one or more black parents & idiots say they aren't French. They are. Messi is 100% Argentinian just as Mbappé is 100% French. What matters is how we act, not skin color.

Just outside Cognac, is Jarnac along the river charante. Francois Mitterrand was born in this house. He's buried just around the corner from where he was born.
If the wealthy are "job creators", why are they spending trillions of dollars trying to eliminate as many paying jobs as possible through Al and automation?
Count Binface is actually going to put Nigel Farage in the bin.
