Buyers are likely to be rich, “urban” and “very design literate, very technology literate”, “The person making this purchase will be choosing the car because it’s a bold choice.” “It’s the type of car that you park up and everybody stops and says: ‘Fucking hell, what have you just turned up in?’”
Is it, like so many problems, that we need to buy less stuff?

Lots of stuff to celebrate coming out of Burnham's speech yesterday. On social care, on public infrastructure, on trying to break the link between international gas prices and domestic electricity, on electoral reform, on investing in young people. But where was the climate? lnkd.in/p/e3wC4RVP

Evri gaslighting me about the weather that i can see out of the window
Such sad news about Joe Harkness. Bird Therapy was one of the crowd funders of any kind i got involved in, i remember the excitement seeing my name in the back. I know Joe had a complicated relationship with the book, but for me it was enlightening.
Not all problems can or should be solved by "Give the Mayors the powers", Combined authorities are the least democratically representative bodies in the structure of government.

UK could 'unlock' 100 more oil and gas projects, say North Sea bosses
The UK could supply half of its oil and gas needs without imports if the government showed more support for the sector, an OEUK report claims.

What's potentially even better than this amazing sweater and this amazing sweater photo, is that it may be a very pre-007 Roger Moore, who - more than one source claims - was known as "The Big Knit" for all the sweater modeling he did.
A group of thugs turn up at a hotel where an under-19 cricket team were staying because they thought they were migrants. Can we stop pretending these people have 'legitimate concerns' and accept that they are racists looking for a fight? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Lowe going even lower. An official carrying out the policies of an elected government is threatened with imprisonment. What's going on here is deeply disturbing.
I don't remember government ministers speaking this way about Just Stop Oil and Palestine Action. Why do they insist on pandering to racist thugs?
If "legitimate concerns" were considered to excuse illegitimate methods, then nobody from Just Stop Oil or Palestine Action would have been arrested. So we know it doesn't. In fact that phrase is only ever used in one context. Only in that context is uniformed mob intimidation "peaceful protest"
Peter Geoghegan@petergeoghegan.bsky.social · last mo.Nick Robinson on Today is literally talking about ‘legitimate concerns’ after second night of organised men dressed in black - sorry ‘protesters’ - mobilising en masse in another littoral town. This is how street fascism is normalised
I am more terrified of gangs of misinformed masked thugs roaming the streets looking for a fight, stoked up my lies peddled by racists hell bent on creating division. Now would be a great time for politicians to step up, condemn the gangs, the rhetoric and get actual facts into the public domain
80 year-olds with pro-Palestine signs: arrested as terrorists. Greens planning to block a road, to highlight an existential crisis: sent down for years. Masked far-right thugs blocking roads and ports, using intimidation, obstruction & threatening behaviour: no arrests. The real two-tier policing.
Everyone of our politicians who uttered the phrase "stop the boats" is culpable for this. You had a chance to humanise those who were trying to cross the channel to show empathy and sympathy. But you didn't.
