RIP Margaret Hamilton, the software engineer who put human feet on the moon and an inspirational woman.
She also serves as a reminder that society will always do its best to airbrush women out of history. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin may have walked on the moon but they couldn't have without her.

Often, when services such as health services are privatised/outsourced, it initially looks as if it’s cheaper. But what happens is that NHS in-house expertise is lost & private firms, having the NHS over a barrel, ramp up prices.
Can see this too with Care Homes, almost all of which are privatised.

So true! 😫
And once it’s sold off it becomes ‘too expensive’ for state to buy back, even if the privatised firms are banktupt and breach all conditions. It’s such a con!

Fuel from South Korea being shipped to Russia as Ukraine war grinds on
Exclusive: Guardian analysis finds more than 150,000 tonnes of fuel was shipped to Russian ports in July and August, some using sanctioned tankers
Fuel is being shipped from South Korea to Russia via sanctioned tankers as Moscow scrambles for supplies amid the war in Ukraine, a move one expert said “undermines” Seoul’s public backing for Kyiv.
Guardian analysis of port records and ship-tracking data found that in July and August over 176,000 tonnes of fuel, mostly diesel, was loaded at several South Korean ports on to seven tankers that made 14 voyages to Russia’s far east. Continue reading...

Gotta say until you read the actual motion it's not clear just how rabid the Greens' positioning is. The motion calls for the end of the State of Israel.

Just so dispiriting to watch the Greens be corrupted by the same poison that took over Labour. All the same shit: the excuses, the mealy-mouthed justifications, the tortured position statements, the deafening silences.
