How has Sunak not worked out that there are only so many votes the Tories can win by moving to the right, and that they've already got them?

Unless I'm much mistaken, reversible chemical reactions are usually exothermic one way and endothermic the other. So, chemistry peeps, why do batteries get warm whether you're charging or draining them?

Also outrageous that staff taking part in lawful marking boycott, supported by legal ballot, are being docked 100% of their pay - despite only withholding 15-20% of their labour & doing all other aspects of their job. This policy is an attack on right to strike. #SaveBrightonUni

Right. RT pls!
A sponsor's pulled out. That sponsorship covers our analytics and streaming which allow us, as an independent women's football club, to compete with clubs 10x richer.
If you're a firm looking for the EASIEST promo/CSR win ever, shout me!

"It's really important to show that you don't have to be a 'women's side'. Or 'this name's women's side.'
That you can just be the club that you are.
We are London Seaward."

That's to @Sportsbeat and @FAWNL for letting us tell our story. youtube.com/watch?v=NlNArPc7…
All the cars I've owned in 10 years have been ULEZ compliant, and 2 were diesels, for which requirements are stricter. Nearly all petrol cars sold since 2005 are fine. Either the people of Uxbridge exclusively drive old diesels, or the Tories have successfully sold another lie.

Our cat has gone to a specialist veterinary clinic 50 miles away and we've returned to a cat-free house and to say that I do not like it would be a pretty significant understatement.

My column on the latest developments in the Post Office scandal - an incredible tale of total corporate psychopathy that I absolutely BEG you to stay very very cross about theguardian.com/commentisfre…
One thing that increasingly troubles me about EVs - why do they accelerate so hard? Even entry-level family cars get to 62 in <8 seconds. Lots of more expensive ones are <6s, or even <5s. That's a huge shift from ICE, where only high-end models get close. Is it necessary?

Like, is there something in the tech that means acceptable motorway performance translates to tyre-shredding speed in town? Or is it a choice? Does a front-wheel drive family shopping trolley like our Kona really need 300lb/ft of torque?

"Renault and Aston Martin backer Geely to launch UK firm injecting £6bn and creating 19,000 jobs"
Gosh, doesn't that sound great? Tory MPs and the RW press have been feasting on the story.
Pity it's not true.
Let's take this step by step...
