The #Italian defence company #Leonardo has been given a £165m contract extension by the #British government for its work maintaining the #RoyalNavy’s fleet of 54 #MerlinHelicopters, in a sign of the impact of the #UK’s commitment to ramp up #defence spending.

#KeirStarmer’s government, which is planning to increase #military spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2027, said the deal with Leonardo would help to bolster #NationalSecurity.

It's weird what grabs the attention and what doesn't.

I was looking up some UK #statistics and it looks like the most dangerous thing our sons do is drive a car.

Over 78% of all car fatalities are male and that's even higher in the younger groups.

Strangely, that's not why men's insurance is higher. That's mostly because men are more likely to make a claim.

Apparently women cause more accidents per capita in the #USA, which is a very odd geographical difference if you ask me.

These are the kinds of discrepancies that make me suspicious of #social #research

Someone must be getting this wrong, surely. #american #women can't be worse #drivers than their #British counterparts, can they?

“Board of Deputies exists to ‘advance Israel’s security, welfare and standing’ and is telling the BBC how to cover Israel’s genocide in Gaza – though of course that word is not used”

Probably one of the most amazing wildlife clips you’ll ever see, and it never grows old. The unbelievable Lyre Bird. Anyone who underestimates animals should check this out.
If you haven’t seen the clip, make sure you do, and stick with it until the end. It’s brilliant and well worth it!

The events of the last ten years, in #UK and #US politics in particular, but also in #China and #India and #Turkey and throughout #Europe have seriously undermined my faith in #Democracy.

Except that is hasn't. The US interpretation of democracy has somehow become a gold standard. It's now clear that it's broken. But there are other ways of doing democracy. I'm #British, we're a constitutional monarchy, our governance structure is very different to the US, but their influence has poisoned and corrupted our politics because they're seen as something to aspire to. Or they were.
