Remember - it is a political choice that energy bills will increase & it has nothing to do with the war.
Tories & Labour refuse to reform the energy market. So even if you use renewable energy you pay the cost of the most expensive form: imported oil & gas.

Mealy-mouthing to the populace about why he flip-flopped capitulation to Trump and his ME attack dog egomaniacs, Starmer resuscitates empire into a zombie state. But it won't win him votes, or understanding. Dead man walking.

Starmer to The Hague.
The US hegemons will say anything to keep their people afraid of 'other'.
The poet reviews her words before setting out on her final draft of a new poem.
According to @heliof.bsky.social on Instagram, Palestine appears to have been singled out for 'curatorial consistency' whereas other kingdoms/lands remain labelled inconsistently/ inaccurately by the same measure. Why? A current FOI request by Helio is pending. @willdalrymple.bsky.social
With Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested, here's the sexual abuse scandal the media isn't talking about.
For decades, British governments have sought to prevent an inquiry into an MI5-linked abusive boys' home in Belfast.

This is to be expected of a Reform government. Oh, wait...

And where are Starmer's lot heading, leading, and associating themselves ? Because it's nothing to do with 'Left'.
Actually, the main point is that you are wasting time trying to convince people to vote against their values in FPTP system. Instead, you could campaign within your own party for better values, policies and a better prime minister. If appropriating blame and panic-posts are your thing, that's sad.
This is what’s destroying our country
I am pleased the Government has done another u turn.
Attempting to cancel elections, on top of scrapping jury trials, mandatory ID cards, criminalising peaceful protest and harassment of journalists is part of a disturbing authoritarian trend of this caretaker Prime Minister.
Democracy only after warning by lawyers. Disgraceful, Labour Party.
And as for serving in the genocide army, surely it's for the Labour Party to discuss, consider, respond, act; not 'what you want us to do'. Again, government complicity by inaction. Doesn't his bother you?
As for 'flights' this explains more fully. www.google.com/url?esrc=s&q...
I'm one person, nobody in the scheme of things. Whereas Labour have power to rid themselves of an unpopular PM. Labour know how to win - their election manifesto swung it. Yet they abandoned it. These are reckless actions with a fascist govt waiting in the wings. The PARTY must act. Lance the boil.
If you've ever met an adult lesbian who has a short haircut and a gender ambiguous name, you will know that queer cisgender kids do not need protecting from haircuts and preferred names.
Reform offer misery and chaos, no doubt.
What happened to the Labour Party election manifesto promises? Is the apprenticeship scheme part of that?
To answer your question, Greens, who are not in government have this manifesto from their 2024 election: greenparty.org.uk/about/our-ma...
I'm looking at figures, assuming nothing. Very poetic to 'run through veins' but paying private sector rather than this money into NHS, is privatisation by stealth. Engaging Palantir despite opposition by BMA (and etc) isn't pro NHS either. So another X'ed rubicon for some. Labour sabotage Labour.

Paedophile and the Prince of Darkness turn Starmer into a zombie www.newarab.com/opinion/paed...
PERSONALIA When I was young, a fortune-teller told me that an old woman who wanted to die had accidentally become lodged in my body. Slowly, over time, and taking great care in following esoteric instructions, including laven- der baths and the ritual burial of keys in the backyard, I rid myself of her presence. Now I am an old woman who wants to die and lodged inside me is a young woman dy- ing to live; I work on her.

Love's renewal Once your youngest project takes wing, carry as many flowers as you can and in your pocket a new silver ring - then rewind to where you began. Ask her to be your girl again: what better future can you attain? Someone once said, "be picky - but once you've picked don't be prissy." Be kind and ever generous, then remember all your pledges to tolerate her sharp edges: you'll find love's renewal effortless. She said yes, and with her favour we enjoy each other like teenagers.

This is the Gov looking for your input on the BBC. It takes a while to complete (15/20 mins) but it’s pretty comprehensive and covers most aspects.
Please share. I’m surprised many people haven’t seen it yet.

Don't take it personally. Look at evidence Labour has supported genocide via 'spy flights', arms support, cover for companies such as Elbit, and turns a blind eye to UK citizens who joined IDF. Continuing to support Starmer's Labour is unconscionable for many. Then, authoritarianism in the UK.
