The Government would happily have us all believe that Britain is poised to become a world leader in electric cars . But like so much of what has come out of No 10 under Boris Johnson it is a mirage. Compared with America, China, and parts of Europe such as Germany, we are absolutely nowhere when it comes to electric cars – stuck on the sidelines of a race in which the main competitors threaten to disappear over the horizon because this country abandoned even the merest pretence of a coherent long-term industrial strategy long ago. With the Government missing in action as the country stands on the precipice of a full-blown economic crisis in which real incomes are set to tumble by the largest amount on record, it is probably wishful thinking to believe that the situation is about to change any time soon. Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak are millions of miles away, in a parallel universe it seems, in which they played no part in the chaos of the last three years, but merely watched in … [Read more...] about Britain must hold its nose and roll out the red carpet for Elon Musk

The ‘traumatic experience’ of US monkeypox patients
By Sam Cabral Published 22 hours ago Share close Share page Copy link About sharing The US declared monkeypox a public health emergency late last week. It follows weeks of concern that more needs to be done to contain the virus. On a private daily Zoom call, adult gay men who have contracted monkeypox compare notes. They share their frustrations over trying to get tested or treated but being turned away by healthcare professionals. They throw around tips on how to manage pain that gets worse with each new blister on your body and leaves you unable to do anything. And, to keep from going stir-crazy as they wait for the lesions to heal, they bond over a shared experience none of them asked for. The first US monkeypox case this year was detected on 18 May in the state of Massachusetts. Since then, more than 10,000 cases have been reported across the country, in every … [Read more...] about The ‘traumatic experience’ of US monkeypox patients
Want Britain to rejoin the EU? This is what we must focus on instead
Sign up to our free Brexit and beyond email for the latest headlines on what Brexit is meaning for the UK Sign up to our Brexit email for the latest insight As a realist, rejoining the European Union is a non-starter. This would only be possible if the other side had the door open. Boris Johnson’s dreadful behaviour as prime minister means that door is firmly shut for the foreseeable future. The UK is, sadly, no longer trusted because of Johnson’s reign of chaos , calamity and disregard for international law and treaties – even when that treaty was proposed and signed into law by Johnson himself. The two candidates vying to replace him show no sign of behaving differently or ending their populist policy agenda. Instead, I would urge those who are calling for the UK to rejoin to channel their energy into more immediate concerns set to damage the UK for decades. Only by working with the EU and other foreign partners to find common solutions to … [Read more...] about Want Britain to rejoin the EU? This is what we must focus on instead

We now forcefully demand that Joe Biden do the same.” Trump announced that the following 20 additional names had been added to his list of potential nominees: Bridget Bade, Judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit Daniel Cameron, 51st Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Kentucky Tom Cotton, U.S. Senator from Arkansas Paul Clement, partner with Kirkland … [Read more...] about Trump Releases List Of 20 Potential Supreme Court Picks If Re-Elected.

Calais Migrants to Receive Heated Tents as Winter Approaches
Women and children at a camp on the outskirts of the French port city of Calais are to be given heated tents by the end of the week as winter approaches, French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve announced on Wednesday. Announcing the doubling in capacity of a shelter for women and children from 200 to 400 on a visit to the camp on Wednesday, Cazeneuve added: "In the meantime, heated tents will be set up... by the end of the week." "No woman, no child will remain without a shelter in this city," he told reporters, in quotes carried by the BBC . Cazeneuve added that an additional 460 police officers would also be sent to the camp from Thursday, bringing the total number of officers in the camp area to 1,125.

“Valorant” version 1.03 update makes it easier to surrender – patch notes
The next update for Riot Games' Valorant free-to-play multiplayer first-person shooter is live and adjusts one weapon and makes it easier to surrender. Valorant developers made adjustments in the Version 1.03 smaller than past updates as to make the meta form naturally. However, the Guardian had its price reduced and rate of fire reduced to help the weapon carve out its own niche in the current Valorant meta as an economic long-range option for players. As for being able to surrender easier, before this update it took all players on your team to agree to quit in Unrated matches. Now, it'll take 80 percent of your team to agree to surrender. Here are the complete patch notes for Valorant version 1.03: VALORANT VERSION 1.03 PATCH NOTES WEAPON UPDATES Guardian Price reduced from 2700 >>> 2500 Rate of Fire reduced from 6.5 >>> 4.75 Penetration power increased from Medium >>> Heavy Input queue updated from 0.083 >>> 0.1175 … [Read more...] about “Valorant” version 1.03 update makes it easier to surrender – patch notes

‘Ukrainian missile strikes’ hit Russian air base in Crimea
Explosions rocked a Russian airbase in Crimea on Tuesday, in what appeared to be an unprecedented Ukrainian attack . If confirmed, the strike would represent a dramatic escalation in the five-month long conflict . Ukrainian officials claimed responsibility for the blast at the Saki airfield, 125 miles behind the frontline. Russian tourists were filmed gazing at mushroom clouds on the skyline. The peninsula, occupied by Moscow's forces since 2014, has so far been spared from the fighting. It fuelled speculation that Ukraine’s armed forces had carried out the bombardment with undeclared heavy weapons donated by the United States, such as deadly Atacms rockets, which have a 300km range . Margarita Simonayan, the influential editor-in-chief of the RT news channel, implied the strike crossed a "red line", but suggested sabotage rather than an airstrike was to blame. Witnesses to the blasts reported hearing at least 12 explosions , describing the final … [Read more...] about ‘Ukrainian missile strikes’ hit Russian air base in Crimea
