Fascinating new angle to Starmer’s misery strategy.
Miserable Britain. We should lean into the things that make our country special in the minds of people across the world.

AI bringing history to life.
✨ I used + to make an AI video impression of a single day in the 🇳🇱 Dutch colony of New Amsterdam (current day New York) in 1670 I always wanted to see how it'd look in real life and AI just helped me get a little bit closer to that I wrote basic prompts, then asked ChatGPT to expand them, then I put all the generated AI videos together in Final Cut Pro and added background audio from Pixabay, took about 1.5 hours in total for 1.5 min of video

Weakening climate policy is the wrong move. Not leadership.👎 Having spent all that time trying to restore credible government, this is just flip-flopping on major investment policies. Fossil fuels are causing economic pain, not clean tech.

This is a very good article by @redhistorian It explains that those on the political right who are arguing against urgent climate policy aren't just up against masses of data, but also centuries of Conservative tradition, inc. Burke, Scruton & Thatcher.
