(FT) - Qatar’s energy minister has warned that war in the Middle East could “bring down the economies of the world”, predicting that all Gulf energy exporters would shut down production within weeks and drive oil to $150 a barrel.

Why is it that all those staunch UK patriots waving flags and shouting about ‘taking back control’ are urging us to be subservient to a foreign power and join them in an illegal war?

Trump administration says it can't comply with order to start tariff refunds A trade court this week had ordered the government to begin reimbursing importers who paid for tariffs.

Don't hold your breath waiting for the tariff refund check.

1/ Russian bloggers are waking up to the fact that they live in an oppressive dictatorship with declining living standards. 14 years after Vladimir Putin was reelected as "a strong leader for a great country," commentators are asking: what has Putin ever done for us? ⬇️

Like clockwork.

US companies denied refunds on Trump’s illegal tariffs, FT reports The U.S. government has declined to refund tariffs the Supreme Court ​ruled illegal last month, the Financial Times ‌reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Meanwhile, Spain's massive investment in renewables is paying dividends now: with prices for Spanish industry and consumers low and stable compared with other European economies.

Fascinating to watch 🇫🇷, then 🇬🇧, then 🇮🇹, now 🇩🇪 start to acknowledge what 🇪🇸's government recognised from the very start: the Trump-Netanyahu war on Iran is a reckless intervention conducted without regard for rules of war and without a strategy for what comes next.

Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Qatar are discussing withdrawing from contracts with the U.S. and cancelling future investment commitments in the U.S.

We are helping Putin while he is helping Iran target our troops and assets

Make that make sense

A while ago Trump paused its Ukraine aid to ensure it contributes to a solution. The order remains until Trump determines Ukraine’s commitment to peace negotiations with Russia. Meanwhile, Putin gives Iran intelligence to target our troops. Perhaps Trump should reconsider helping Ukraine more. 🔄

Iceland locks in on date for EU referendum | Euractiv As a member of the European Economic Area, Iceland is already aligned with much of the bloc's legislation

Just announced: Iceland has urgently moved up its referendum to join the European Union - to 29 August.

A reminder: 🇮🇸 is in many ways already a non-voting 🇪🇺 member because of the EEA. This would give them voting power to shape the laws they have to follow.

What the fuck is wrong with America. That his approval is anywhere near 40 is madness. He should be closer to 20.

Fuck sake the dems and others are not making the case that he is STEALING democracy from under their noses. In plain sight.

Something must be done.

Nothing makes sense from this Trump-Epstein Regime.

Trump may appear to be sane at times, but his tweets alone prove that he’s psychotic.

There’s no such excuse for SCOTUS or Congress.

MASSIE: “Iran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leader… 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 turned him into a martyr, expended billions, 6 🇺🇸 families must now lay to rest their sons & daughters. And for what? This administration can't even give us a straight answer.”

Die gefährlichste Sekte der Welt.

The Middle East conflict is stress testing global energy. Bloomberg sees oil at $108 in a severe escalation.

We have seen this before. The difference now is that solar and batteries are more cost competitive. Every fossil fuel spike strengthens the case for renewables on energy security alone.

🇺🇦⚡️🇷🇺—Right now, Ukrainian drones are attacking the oil refinery in Saratov.

Maybe a president shouldn’t have pardon power.

Frau Reiche, es reicht! Jetzt Appell unterzeichnen!

Hallo! Katherina Reiche bremst die Energiewende aus und gefährdet unsere Unabhängigkeit von fossilen Importen. Mach jetzt mit und fordere Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz zum Handeln auf! umweltinstitut.org/energie-und-...

Every Republican should be asked why they think this was the appropriate time to close the Strait of Hormuz.

Oil and gas prices are set on international markets beyond UK control

North Sea is not credible solution:
❌ output too small to make any difference
❌ will decline irrespective of new licences

Renewable generation and net zero tech 🔑 to bring energy independence

AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.

AOC: We already have multiple American service members who are dead for an illegal action that the president has pursued with no plan out. They don’t know why they got into this war. They’re talking about a hundred different reasons, and they don’t know how they’re getting out.

Denmark: Private buyers opt almost exclusively for battery-electric cars - electrive.com Denmark registered 9,736 new battery-electric cars in February, corresponding to a market share of 81.6 per cent. Among private buyers, electric models

El 94% de les famílies daneses opten per un cotxe elèctric. És espectacular.

A la Dinamarca del Sud es podria incrementar radicalment el nombre de vendes amb una única mesura: supressió de l'IVA.

Però per fer això caldria primer que els polítics ho volguessin.

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.
