Energy independence is consistently one of the most powerful pro-Net Zero arguments among voters.

They back renewables over fossil fuel as the solution and it's not particularly close.

Bit baffled that Govt is not hammering this more loudly in light of Iran. Pushing at an open door.

Starmer not prepared to join a war ‘without lawful basis and viable plan’, he tells PMQs – UK politics live PM says country must act ‘with clarity, with purpose and with a cool head’ amid Middle East crisis and Trump criticism

"The sprint to clean energy is the only way to get off the volatile international fossil fuels markets, cut bills & deliver energy security"

Fair play to Starmer - this is exactly right. Meanwhile, Badenoch & Farage would have us hooked on more fossil fuels

“For all we know, we could be in the middle of Keir Starmer’s finest hour”.

Starmer’s critics say he is imperiling the UK’s special relationship with the US...

But is it Donald Trump who's doing the damage?

Powerful moment in the Commons as Starmer calls on Farage to apologise for the Reform councillor who shared a post calling for Labour MP Natalie Fleet to be shot, pointing out that when Farage faced death threats Starmer condemned them. Farage totally ignores that & asks about the Chago Islands.

So much that could be said on the 4th anniversary of the full scale invasion, but it all just boils down to the ultimate admiration for Ukrainians who have endured so much, fought so hard and deserve victory, peace and prosperity. Slava Ukraini!

(On a serious note: The facts have always been exhaustively researched, and chosen to combine education and the potential for comedy by the guests, and they still are. I think the team have been been hearing this whinge, or variants of it, since the C series, which aired in about 2005. )

This writer is a chump. I spent 14 happy years making sure everything I researched was tediously salacious.

The utterly shameless & widely covered "report" out today, claiming net zero will "cost" £9tn is based on:

* Assuming free fossil-fuel energy, free petrol cars, free gas boilers, free gas power plants etc

AND

* Including climate damages in the "cost" of net zero

I kid you not, it is that stupid

One thing that unites these people, above all else, is there never ending, self-pitying WHINING.

The "very painful things" they wrote were facts that you avoided tax, had to pay millions in fines, hid it whilst Chancellor then threatened legal action against anyone who reported it.

How does Bjorn from ABBA have more clarity on this than a nontrivial proportion of European leaders

What's fun is looking at the electricity usage stats for the day (via the solar app) and being able to see the time of every single cup of tea, each causing a brief but massive spike in power demand
