The solution is right above us. Solar panels on existing buildings, car parks, and along highways generate clean power without sacrificing farmland or wild spaces. Let's use our built world first. #Renewables #Innovation

Hunger striker for Palestine enters 'deadly period' where body 'eats itself'.
Starmer, Lammy and Streeting have “no comment” when approached by the Mirror.
This is not a #Labour Government.
Their attitude to human rights is beneath contempt.

Reform are selling "limited edition" shirts for £340 quid a pop.

You could also win a lunch with Nigel Farage.

When do we want it?

Now!

The longer you postpone it, the more difficult it will be

Stop running scared of Farage

'In your lifetime' - I'm 72 - how about in my lifetime?
Cards on the table, I want to campaign to Rejoin the EU in my lifetime.
But my message to all Pro-Europeans today is that now is not the time to ask to join a Customs Union.
The EU wants to see us deliver on what was agreed at the summit and that must be our focus too.

This is madness, but fits the #WelshGovt strategy of encouraging “inward investment” aka selling your assets to foreigners.
With each “investment” (sell-off) a bit more of the Welsh economy is foreign owned and any profits then go abroad.

The insanity of the tax free personal allowance being less than the basic state pension (the lowest in Europe).
And with #RachelFromAccounts freezing it for 3 more years this will only get worse.
Any pensioner with a part time job will now join the informal economy.
