This is content worth installing a VPN for. A really good explanation of why we should worry about birth rates.
People aren't able to have the children they say they want to have. It's a huge problem we can't afford *not* to solve. A short film with me, (aged 46),@PMArslanagic (aged 29) and Emina (age 0).

Why does Ireland have one of the lowest urbanisation rates in the developed world?. One explanation: strict rules prevent conversions of old commercial buildings into housing unless they meet the latest building standards.

The Aarhus Compliance Committee also found that the Brexit process was too short. It turns out the Govt should have run a public consultation on the Withdrawal Bill. The 2019 General Election didn't count as an opportunity for public participation.

Spain have been found in breach of the Aarhus Convention. This is because they didn't run a public consultation or carry out an Environmental Impact Assessment when they extended the life of a nuclear reactor by 10 years. The case for leaving grows.

One semester of Econ 101 will give you access to a conceptual toolkit that will help you understand the world around you in a new clearer light. It's such a waste to spend that time studying cod political philosophy!.
I've steered my kids away from doing high school economics because the curriculum is cooked. First question in the Level 1 workbook. My answer would be: "There is no economically meaningful distinction between these concepts. There are only preference orderings over bundles."

People worry about nuclear waste, but they don't realise how little of it is produced. One Brit's lifetime home electricity use wouldn’t produce enough waste to fill a shot glass.

Less than half of Brits know that nuclear is a low-carbon source of energy. Young people are being taught about climate change more than ever before but just 25% of 18-24 year olds get the right answer. Something isn't right.

Are you worried the Online Safety Act has negative consequences for free speech and privacy?. Don't fear! Ofcom have 'consulted widely' and 'published detailed impact assessments'.

When I look at the problems in Britain I think to myself: if only more Brits invested in Crypto.
If everything is fine, then don’t change anything at all. But when the financial system isn’t working for so many people in the UK, it needs to be updated.
