Norway has rejected EU membership twice, in 1972 and 1994.
Today, it remains one of Europe's wealthiest countries, with a population of just 5.6 million.
A prosperous economy, enormous national wealth and control over major areas of its own national policy.
Norway is living proof that a country doesn't need EU membership to prosper.
And now even Norway's Prime Minister is warning Britain about surrendering too much control to Brussels.
That's a warning Britain should be discussing.

So the Norwegian PM says that being a rule-taker from EU through EEA membership is a bad thing and the UK should avoid it at all costs.
Interesting that our government seem to think handing over control to Brussels is a good thing when the Norwegians don't.

RFK Jr. says opioid overdose deaths are down 30%, opioid prescriptions are down more than 50%, and 20,000 lives have been saved.
But he says the mainstream media refuses to cover the Trump administration’s accomplishments.
“Literally nobody in the press has covered this.”
“Opioid prescriptions are down by more than 50%.”
“Opioid overdoses are down by around 30%.”
“We have saved 20,000 lives.”
“Prescriptions for Suboxone and naltrexone, which are opiate antagonists, are up by 218%.”
“What we’re doing in our various programs is working, and it’s working for the American public.”
“And there’s another fantastic accomplishment by the Trump administration that everybody said could not happen.”
“But it’s getting done and nobody’s covering it.”

Shame on @AustralianLabor for blocking nuclear power here.
France sells more electricity to its neighbors than any other country in Europe, 92.3 TWh net in 2025. Nuclear plants supply most of the country's power, and reactors run day and night at a fuel cost close to zero, so whenever French demand dips the surplus flows across the borders.

Occasional reminder that until very recently the telephone network was designed to continue running uninterrupted in the event of a mass power cut.
Choices were made.
🚨 NEW: The Government's "Black Sky" contingency plans for a national water or power blackout
- Around 100 BBC staff would be deployed to run an emergency RM radio studio stocked with enough food, water and fuel to keep it running for 3 days
- The BBC would broadcast pre-written Government scripts through the studio, including how to ration water, what to do if toilets stop working and which food to eat first (see scripts below)
- Radio masts would switch to diesel generators to keep broadcasts going for up to 72 hours without electricity
- BBC teams would use satellite phones to stay in contact, with agreed meeting points and backup arrangements if those phones stop working
- They would also report from emergency centres across the UK using satellite-equipped BBC vehicles to help keep information flowing to the public
- Emergency services would have alternative ways to communicate if mobile phone networks stopped working
- The Government is putting £70m towards aircraft that could restore mobile phone and internet coverage across the UK for over a week

More scientists need to understand how modern science was a radical departure from the way nearly every other culture approached knowledge. From a classic textbook on the history of science, here are critical features that were missing before the 17th century:
Incredibly disappointing to see such unscientific nonsense still published on a regular basis in what is supposed to be one of the world’s top science journals.
This piece on “indigenous science” completely misunderstands what makes science successful.

Nobody ever lay in bed at night wishing they'd eaten more ultra-processed food.
But plenty lie there wishing they'd taken better care of themselves.
Tomorrow's a fresh plate.
Fill it with real food.
MAHA

DeSantis was VERY smart. He put property taxes on the ballot in FL and that got the GOP vote out enough to save the state.
That's the kind of strategic thinking this party needs in 2028.
Since the Blavatnik School’s eponymous donor has been personally sanctioned by Zelenskyy in Ukraine, Justin Trudeau will have a lot to discuss with the School’s students. Maybe a name change?
As... a professor? At Oxford?
Couldn't you get someone with a little more substance, like maybe Katy Perry?

If this is a sumptuous brand – cars named Cortina and Capri were trying to evoke it, because everyone longs for Italy in the end – it is ever more respectable. You will no longer find a sex-crazed car at Alfa Romeo. I looked.
They are more cautious: like Ben Braddock, they grew up – though I don't know if he took the job in plastics. I think he did.
The Alfa Romeo website offers many respectable cars, all sprayed red – a darker red than the classic Ferrari, hotter, more female and dangerous. (Ferraris are always male. You sit in one, and you know.

If this is true, then the UK would lose an industry worth £28 billion, to slightly lower the import costs of UK supermarkets, including the privately owned German ones that operate in the UK.
🤔
The UK's entire food and animal exports to the EU were only worth £12 billion in 2025. Why are we throwing good money after bad?

The staff at The Manor CofE Primary School, Coalpit Heath, Bristol, are saints, including Emma & the reception team, & especially Lucy who drove me the last few miles to get me to the funeral of the Revd Canon Dr John Elford today. I was a stranger and you helped me. Thank you.

Election days come and go. But one thing remains the same: God is in control. No matter how you feel about the election results, we must remember that our fellow Americans are not our enemies. We share a common home and the future of our country depends on us. As the great President Abraham Lincoln once said, "We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection."
Now is not the time for division or despair. Let’s move forward with unity and a posture of hope. This is America. And our best days are still ahead of us. 🇺🇸
