To the left of the current Labour leadership, yes.

Among smaller parties, the Liberal Democrats have gained over 40 seats, and Reform, the Greens and Plaid Cymru have also gained seats. Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, now contesting as an independent, retained Islington North. The SNP and DUP lost seats, while Sinn Fein’s fortunes seem to have remained unchanged.
Doesn’t that already exist in parts of the US? I know the UK and Germany have it.
If I remember correctly, cricket fields don’t have a fixed size. Also football is popular enough that people will understand what ‘x football fields’ is. But mostly we use square kilometres, hectares and so on.
The new law does grant draft immunity — for police officers, prosecutors, judges, lawmakers and senior government officials
The usual suspects. Angry old men sending naive young (wo)men to die.
It’s big enough that not all of it will burn up. And you don’t want the debris to hit someone.
Mint works. Most alternatives don’t. I can install Mint on a total newbie’s system, and not have to worry about something breaking two weeks later. Hell, most newbies can install Mint if you give them the USB.
On a deeper level, I think Mint devs are one of the few teams that understand the ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ philosophy.
What about equally high tariffs for petrol / diesel from anywhere, equally low tariffs for EVs, and subsidies for cycles and public transport?
Sorry, I meant Canadian warships.
The emissions saved from removing a few hundred ACs are negligible. But the message it sends to the millions watching the Olympics is significant. Which, again, is why I am hoping there will be at least some symbolic action against rule-breakers - it will start a conversation about the need to regulate / ban ACs.
First of all, [citation needed]. Second, even if it is, a good message is being sent.
If that is true, the complaint should be against synagogues being exempt, not against churches being asked to pay up.
Wikipedia (Jan 2001, so barely squeaked in)
now they start targeting Christians
By asking religious bodies to pay tax? Why do religious organisations get tax exemptions anyway?
I think they’re trolling. In reality, it could mean they have a justification to attack / sieze any Canadian ships that stray into the Persian Gulf. But that would be a pretty huge provocation, so it’s unlikely.
Apes are Old World monkeys.
ACs are not being provided to reduce emissions. Everyone is being asked to accept an equal handicap, so that the world does not become even hotter in the coming years. It’s largely symbolic, I agree, but I suppose kicking out a team that prioritises its medal tally over the climate crisis would send an even stronger signal.
ACs are not being provided to reduce emissions. Most teams seem to be respecting this decision.
Labour lost four seats to independents running against its inaction on Gaza.
