You’d think in this era of “MPs face increasing danger” there would be more outrage at newly elected Green MP Hannah Spencer being assaulted by transphobes but it’s nowhere to be seen on BBC News app even if you search her name
The USA War Crimes are global.
Don't be silent for Cuba.
The Tories oversaw the degradation of UK gas storage capacity - 2010 to 2017.
Thatcher privatised the gas and oil industry - 1982 to 1986.
Thatcher closed the collieries - 1986 to 1991.
This woman is an idiot - 1960 to 2026
Oh wow! Would you trust £215k of your money to *Kwasi Kwarteng* - Mr Mini Budget himself - of all people?! 🤣🤣
Then again, you probably don't have two hundred thousand quid spare to chuck around - unlike the 'man of the people' himself - do you?

Here's Jacob Rees-Mogg, admitting that the introduction of Voter ID – despite fraud being virtually non-existent within our electoral system – was a cynical attempt at gerrymandering by the Conservative Party, which was deliberately skewed towards older people to favour their base. 🗳️

The decision by @ukri.org to scrap the UK's flying atmospheric laboratory (FAAM) after spending >£40M on an upgrade & with zero consultation, is short sighted. FAAM has saved the UK economy more than it costs through responding to disasters.

Mainstream/centrist parties have failed to address this. We need the Greens.

BYD in China makes an excellent vehicle. Time to see how Tesla can compete in the large Chinese market.
Entitled knobhead Jacob Rees-Mogg.
Once again the BBC upholds its ignoble tradition of inviting on to one of its flagship current affairs/news programmes a right-wing commentator who already has his own show on a right-wing TV channel. If entitled knobhead Jacob Rees-Mogg has something to say, he can say it on Talk TV.

As usual Jacob Rees-Mogg is wrong.
'Britain is different from the US. Its geological history has provided many opportunities for gas to leak away. Only the dregs remain. If the UK wants a major US-style fracking industry, it's 280m years too late".' #politicslive

Swedish private equity group takes 42% stake in Yorkshire Water.
Thames Water, Northumbrian Water, Southern Water, South West Water and Wessex Water gutted by PE.
All have criminal convictions, dump sewage in rivers, profiteer. 90% of England's water is foreign owned.
Expect more looting.

It’s time to cut our ties with America and this not so special relationship.
‘This is Trump’s war of choice. But Britain has choices, too. 250 years after the American colonists broke free of empire, it’s time for a British Declaration of Independence.’

Food security warnings are getting louder.
Which makes using huge areas of land for things like aviation biofuels even harder to justify.
So Farage couldn’t gain access to the Chagos Islands last week.
This week he couldn’t gain access to Donald Trump.
What a load of air miles he’s clocked up for his donors.
Farage is a complete waste of space. Can’t organise his own visits let alone run a country.
UK has only two days of gas stored, Iran war threatens supplies.
Maximum capacity is 12 days.
Mainland Europe has reserves of several weeks’ worth of gas.
UK storage capacity shrank after privatisation.
The Rough storage facility closed in in 2017. British Gas wanted subsidies.
In case you missed it ...
🌻 The Greens want to rejoin the EU. Their only question is "What would be the best first step?" Very sensibly, they want to speak to the EU about that, to find the best and quickest solution for both sides. This open letter is from June last year.

What's important in the Greens' statement is that they explicitly menion renewing Freedom of Movement. That's rare for English parties, who generally skip around it.

Liz Webster @LizWebsterSBF 🚨 The clearest, most devastating summary of Brexit’s damage which answers every remaining excuse. Brexit caused a slow economic bleed: •GDP is 6–8% smaller than it would have been by 2025: worse than forecast. •Investment is down 18% compared to similar economies. •Employment and productivity are 4% lower. •The damage accumulated year after year, driven by uncertainty, friction and lost integration. Nearly 1 in 10 CFOs spent 6+ hours a week dealing with Brexit fallout for years. Huge amount of time/money preparing for economic sabotage. 👀The killer finding 👉firms most exposed to the EU: 😩 Were the fastest growing before Brexit 😥 Became the most damaged after Brexit Brexit punished Britain’s most productive, outward-facing businesses, the exact engines of growth. Brexit is a rare modern case study of a rich country which proves deliberately raising barriers and the result is: •Lower growth •Lower productivity •Lower wages •Permanent relative decline ⚠️ A BIG warning for any country flirting with economic nationalism, trade wars, or sovereignty over integration.
#Brexit wasn’t a mistake…it was a scam. With more and more evidence of interference from #Russia, #Epstein and #Bannon.
UK's costs: GDP is 6–8% smaller in 2025

As a man of the people, I naturally used a private jet provided by a crypto billionaire based in Thailand for my latest publicity stunt.
A social media graphic from EveryDoctor on a bright blue background titled "How PFI Extracts Money." It features two buckets representing financial outflow. The smaller bucket on the left is labeled "£196m Profit" under an NHS logo. The larger bucket on the right is labeled "£326m Interest" with an arrow pointing toward the word "Investors." Text at the bottom right explains: "£326m flowed out as interest, more than recorded profit."
Is interest the "hidden" drain on the NHS?
Our research into 36 trusts found that while £196m was recorded as profit, a massive £326m flowed out as interest. 📉
Interest payments to investors are now outstripping profit. Read the full investigation:

Oh look at that… with impeccable timing, @evanhd.bsky.social appears to be back talking about heat pumps on the BBC!

This is an absolutely huge jump in oil prices.
It's also why Europe needs to get off fossil fuels asap (beyond climate change impact). We can't be beholden to this.

British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper said that Britain would not "outsource" its foreign policy, responding to criticism from US President Trump over the UK’s handling of the US-Israel war on Iran.
"Unconditional surrender" is what Trump keeps saying he is demanding from Iran.
Woodrow Wilson demanded the same thing from Germany in 1919 at the end of the First World War.
And the humiliation for Germany from the terms of that surrender is why we have to call that war the *First* World War.

A heat pump
The present war in the Middle East is accelerating gas prices, heat pumps are absolutely vital to get away from expensive and polluting natural gas. Do look at www.vistaheatpump.com!
