This stone begins as Earth. When it’s first dug out, it’s soft enough to be cut by hand. Then air, moisture, and time transform it into a building material strong enough to last for centuries. It is used across Kerala, Goa, Karnataka, and the Konkan coast, laterite kept homes...

The cold is British. They just never told you. ❄️🇬🇧 Every air conditioner, every fridge, every freezer on earth, the cold inside all of it was first made by a Scotsman. In 1756. ❄️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 His name was William Cullen, a doctor in Edinburgh. In a warm room, with no ice and no winter, he drew the air from a glass of ether until it boiled cold and drank the heat from the water around it, until the water froze. No one had ever done it before. Then he wrote it down and walked away. No machine, no patent, no fortune. Just the proof, on a bench. It sat there the better part of a century. A British bench built the first machine that worked, and a Scot carried it across the world to Australia, where it froze meat and cooled beer. But cold was only half the story. ❄️📖 To master the air itself took another Scot. When the Houses of Parliament burned down in 1834, David Boswell Reid made the new building breathe, its gothic spires its lungs. At St George's Hall in Liverpool in 1851 he built what is often called the first air-conditioned building on earth. It should have made him. He died forgotten in America instead. 40 years on, Willis Carrier built the machine and earned his name as the father of modern air conditioning. He earned every bit of it. But he did not make the cold. The cold was British. America took that inheritance and cooled the world with it, and that is no theft. That is what an inheritance is for. We are the home of British heroes. Not built by ads, not by the government, built by us. There's a place for you with us. Be part of us. ☝️🇬🇧 Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧

We were told Iran lost this war. But now it seems like they might be getting a deal which gives them everything they want. In the past three months, the United States and Israel defeated Iran in every measurable military way. And now this Memorandum of Understanding is giving Iran 300 billion dollars for reconstruction. Every sanction terminated. Its frozen funds released. And its highly enriched nuclear material left sitting inside the country. Iran found out that pursuing a nuclear weapon and posing a threat to the world could be rewarded. And all they would have to do is wait long enough and lie long enough. What the West lacked was stamina and patience. When dealing with a terrorist nation-state that has no regard for its own citizens' lives, that is guided by a middle-aged radical doctrine and is willing to pay any price to see that doctrine come alive, you need to understand your enemy in order to win over it. We now have 60 days to make the right deal. And the eye on the prize needs to be on removing the enriched uranium. Not just the 60%, but all of it. This is the window where the real deal needs to be negotiated, and negotiated properly/ The highly enriched nuclear material has to leave the country. It needs to address the terror proxy network, such as Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis. It needs to address Iran’s ballistic missile stockpile. And it needs to address the rights and freedoms that its people deserve. Anything less isn't a solution. It’s a reward. We've come this far, it’s time to build a new Middle East free from the ongoing threat of the Islamic regime in Iran and its proxies. It requires patience and persistence, and I pray that our leaders can follow through and turn a short-term military victory into a long-lasting political one.

Brits and Europeans visiting America for the World Cup have discovered air conditioning and are asking why we don't have it this side of the Atlantic. Unfortunately, our stringent net zero policies mean air conditioning is illegal in a lot of places. One place air conditioning is allowed is in the offices of top European Union bureaucrats who decide the rules, banning it for other people - even their underlings on the floors below them. Compare this to China, where even pigs can have air conditioning. It's almost as if the oppressive communist regime with corrupt, self-serving leaders is Europe. The thing is, air conditioning could support net zero. Air conditioners run when it's very hot, and it's very hot when the sun is shining, and when the sun is shining, all the solar panels Ed Miliband forced us to install make lots of power. Too much power, in fact. There's an increasingly common phenomenon where the grid gets overloaded by electricity produced by renewables, and then electricity has to be given a negative price (paying people to use it) to encourage people to use it to syphon off this extra power so it doesn't damage the grid. Meanwhile, the usual uninformed lefty windbags appear on the BBC to spout off nonsense about evil Britain using lots of air-conditioning while countries such as India and Nigeria don't use it at all. This is nonsense. 20% of Nigerians and 10% of Indians have air conditioning in their homes, compared to only 3-4% in Britain. It's almost as if Net Zero isn't about efficient energy use at all, but it's just about making us suffer.
