“Freedom is not free. We have to work at it. Nurture it. Protect it. Even sacrifice for it.”

So Jenrick et al will promote the use of polluting, climate changing, geopolitically insecure fossil fuels instead?

Strangely enough, councillor attendance no longer seems to available on the Council’s website…

Final decision on disputed price controls for 5 water companies An independent group of experts appointed by the CMA has decided how much revenue 5 water companies are allowed following their rejection of Ofwat’s decision.

Competition regulator allows additional 2% -4% increase in England water bills on appeal.

Regulators side with industry.

Companies to collect more money from captive customers, dump sewage in rivers, pay dividends, exorbitant exec pay.

Rip-off continues. Who protects people?

And for me personally, that means MPs should have a free vote, independent of the Party Whip.

"social cohesion is made or lost in millions of everyday acts, and not just in moments of national celebration." (from the UK govt's social cohesion plan)

Well said and so true! We all know this. You cannot fix a toxic work environment, for example, with an annual team-building event.

He’s the antithesis of a decent Englishman.
He’s sly, he’s divisive, he has, at best, a tenuous relationship with the truth.
His avarice for wealth and power knows no bounds.
Many of his acquaintances have friends who wish this country ill.
Yet, the ignorant fawn over him.

Oh, I agree with you. However, the reporter did not rephrase the question (but just repeated it )or put it succinctly as you just have. Instead, Farage was gifted the wriggle room to stick to his original answer.

GREAT NEWS!
A special task force of elderly bald men, smelling of chives and armed with small penises, has arrived to liberate Dubai from the Iranian onslaught!

Today I will mostly be trying to bribe people with cheap petrol, in the hope that they will forget that I have been cheering on the orange idiot whose war is pushing up fuel prices.

FACTS:

Net Zero barely nudges your bill.

Fossil‑fuel wars send it through the roof.

So when Farage and his ilk slags off renewables while fanning conflict, remember who actually hikes your costs.

Please just believe us when we promise to save you loads of money in government. Whatever you do, don’t look at what we have actually done in practice with the local authorities we run, which is increase taxes, cut services and lose 1 in every 10 councillors.

To be fair, he didn’t specify COUNCIL tax.

“Labour was built on the belief that justice must never belong only to the powerful. Today MPs vote on restricting jury trials. For Labour MPs it’s a test of principle. The poorest & most marginalised depend on juries. Today we’ll see who remembers why they came into politics”

The “important” people with money are protected whilst the rest of us face the full force of the law. Things really must change in the 21stC.

The first lesson of war is ‘know your enemy’ – and Britain’s enemy now is Donald Trump | Simon Tisdall As the Iran disaster escalates, the US president should be seen as an enemy whose actions threaten the lawful, democratic way of life everywhere, says Guardian foreign affairs commentator Simon Tisdal...

It’s time to cut our ties with America and this not so special relationship.

The War No One Wants - and the People Calling for It Farage and Badenoch are beating the drums for escalation. The public response appears to be: abso-fucking-lutely not.

The British public learned something from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Apparently some politicians didn’t.

While Farage and Badenoch push escalation with Iran, most Britons are saying something very simple:

Ah, so much “world peace” right now.

The world has never been more peaceful. They say ‘Donald, how did you get so much peace happening all at the same time? It’s like a World War 3 of peace.’

MSM love it because it gives the something to report on their 24 hour news cycles.

Just plain murder then and everyone involved is complicit.🤨

Surely he has quietly responded by appointing Ed Miliband as Sec of State for Energy Sustainability & Net Zero in 2024?

What a load of bigoted bollocks.

Anarchy breeds terrorism.

Lots of peat restoration work currently going on in the North York Moors National Park. 👍❤️
