No child should be raised in a hostel room. And no family should wait ten years for a front door of their own. Today we’re announcing funding for the biggest council housebuilding comeback in decades. Nearly £10 billion will go to councils and housing associations to build genuinely affordable homes, most of them for social rent. This funding will directly help families trapped in temporary accommodation or stuck on housing waiting lists into safe, secure homes.

Europe needs its own playbook to counter hybrid attacks. An Emergency Security Protocol. When triggered by one Member State, all Member States would coordinate a European response. We will also set out our ideas to make a European Security Council a reality. With partners like Ukraine, UK, Norway, Canada and others involved. Europe Related

Why, in his 1513 “Letter to Francesco Vettori”, does Niccolò Machiavelli so dramatize the simple act of opening a book? Why the stripping off muddy clothes, the donning court robes, the crossing a threshold into “the ancient courts of ancient men” where he asks questions of Livy and Cicero and they answer him? Because for Niccolò the thing was new. He had spent fourteen years running his intelligence on live human contact: Borgia’s menace, a king’s facial expression, a council’s mood... 1/ Related

Vancouver’s progressive anti-Ken-Sim municipal parties have coalesced behind Pete Fry as Bill Azaroff gracefully steps aside: https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/william-azaroff-vancouver-election-mayoral-announcement-sept-8 I’ve met both gents and either would be a vastly better mayor than Sim. I do prefer Fry though, first of all I’m a Green, second, he’s been on council for years and knows how things work. Ken Sim is toast. #Vancouver #election #election2026 Related

data center road trip // day 6-7 I don't think the data center backlash is about AI being evil or risky — but it does reflect people finding AI uniquely useless for example: is the data center backlash just like the backlash to solar farms? @nicholas_bagley observed that both movements use classic NIMBY playbooks: Facebook groups, FOIA requests, packing city council. both also involve land use tensions between rural towns and state directives. yet the Saline, MI activists I met were pro-solar farms and anti-data center. first, data center deals are more secretive with more NDAs and bigger $$… Quoting @jasminewsun I’m spending the next week driving around Wisconsin and Michigan to get a firsthand view of the data center buildout and backlash am visiting sites, talking to tons of people — tradespeople, activists, planners, residents — then writing up a story lmk what questions I should dig into! solar data centers Related

I need a macroeconomist to explain this to me: I don't get why the govt council house building programme is a "cost" that needs to be budgeted for cash is converted into an asset: housing. it's moving numbers around on the balance sheet. the govt still has the asset, can still borrow against it Related

Pleased that UK govt has scrapped the single digital ID scheme. IMO: illiberal and a single point of failure Instead: create a wallet of the various IDs we use — council tax per household, road tax per car, NHS per patient The only place they should connect is my private phone Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
