Europe needs homegrown, low-carbon energy sources.
Nuclear & renewables together have a key role to play.
Nuclear energy is available around the clock, providing electricity all year.
Europe has been a pioneer in nuclear technology.

I love meeting puppies while I'm walking around Barcelona. They are either very curious and want to come to me or they are in total fear and try hide between the legs of the humans they are with. #dogs #barcelona #pets #photography #streetphotography

An avowed neofascist stands markedly to the humanitarian left of every European head of state/government other than Pedro Sánchez and the Pope.
Infantino must be the most corrupt official ever to lead FIFA. And that organisation has form!
He and Trump surely can share stories on how to monetise their jobs.
What an utter embarrassment.
Time to boycott the World Cup 2026, it seems to me.

In the end, it’s almost always about oil & gas.

The simultaneous occurrence of an oil-price spike and a possibly-faltering economy means we may get our first serious bout of stagflation since the 1970s. trib.al/HwDYdgC
Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, walks to a closed door briefing on the Iran war before the Senate Armed Services Committee at the Capitol Tuesday, March 10, 2026, in Washington.
Senate Dems letter to Trump: “We request Rubio & Hegseth immediately appear under oath - in public hearings - to answer questions the American ppl have about the goals, scope, & end game of this war — explain your actions to the American ppl whose sons & daughters are on the front lines of this war”

Some convergence in our positions but still rather different views on the origins of this war

That’s certainly something completely different
“…says a Ukrainian drone-industry insider: “[Iran] had no ideological quarrel with us. They came to learn how to fly, how to strike, how to defeat Western equipment. We warned about this for years. But no-one listened.” They are listening now”.

Château-Gaillard, Eure, Normandy.
822 years ago, on the 7th of March 1204, Château Gaillard fell after being besieged by the French for six months, resulting in the loss of English control over Normandy. The weakened king John was later challenged by English barons leading to the sealing of the Magna Carta. #otd #history 🗃️

Spanish politics are as polarised as the US politics.
It’s obscene.

The Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez yesterday,
“We are not going to be complicit in something that is bad for the world and is also contrary to our values and interests, just out of fear of reprisals from someone,”
Trump needs to continue to hear more of this from world leaders, not just Spain.
According to Politico the Pentagon is planning for war with Iran through September.🤔

I’m ordering flags to be flown at half-staff as we pay our final respects to Reverend Jesse Jackson ahead of his interment this weekend.
Reverend Jackson’s lifetime of lessons and wisdom leaves a righteous path that is well prepared to carry forward his vision of a better world.
