Alarm over nuclear safety lapses on the Clyde
"One incident in 2023 at the Faslane base, near Helensburgh, was given the MoD’s worst risk rating. This is the first time this has happened since 2008.
Speaker Mike Johnson announced he is sticking with his plan to put a series of foreign aid bills on the floor, including funding for Ukraine, after facing significant pressure from hardliners.
“After significant Member feedback and discussion, the House Rules Committee will be posting soon today the text of three bills that will fund America’s national security interests and allies in Israel, the Indo-Pacific, and Ukraine. #AureFreePress
Finally #MikeJohnson acts, probably on behalf of #TFG. Hopefully, aid for #Ukraine, in particular direkt needed ammunitions and air-defense systems won't arrive too late. #Putler will no ramp-up drones and missile strikes even further in the weeks to come before delivery.
@cheryanne@coffee2Di4 They will be in govt again one day, & they will do it because the main game in Australia for fossil fuels is the exports so they will be able to extract more from our public purse from nuclear just like they are doing with #AUKUS. They will put it off as long as possible of course for their fossil fuel donors but those right wingers are the same people who want nuke weapons & a domestic nuke industry to sponge donations off, as well as established fossil fuel industry
@sortius
That's why I say to take absolutely seriously Dutton's and LNP's nuclear talk. The main game isn't Australia's domestic emissions, but what we export, so LNP would definitely wreck our energy infrastructure with drawn out nuclear plans looting and plundering along the way while remaining on fossil fuel plants that are running down. ALP would obviously just come back into power later and pick up and run with LNP's nuclear policy like they did with LNP's #AUKUS plan.
"Deliberately grounded on a tiny reef in the #SouthChinaSea, part of an island chain claimed by the two Asian countries, the #BRPSierraMadre is now the unlikely base for a detachment of Filipino marines who stand guard over the atoll, scanning the turquoise waters for Chinese ships." #AyunginShoal#SecondThomasShoal#Philippines
