If you're a National Trust member, it's that time of year again: Midnight tonight is the deadline. It's a shame people have to keep doing this to keep a toehold on historical truth in this country, but here we are. Voting link: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/a...

Hilarious in that the Conservative could chalk this up as a massive policy win in favour of British consumers, but because of their own members & cultural dislike of the proponents of Green energy, they can't.

This week's post: Populism and Economic Prosperity mainlymacro.blogspot.com/2025/10/popu...
We would expect populist governments to damage the economy. Evidence suggests that they do so in a big way. But we know from Brexit that the media typically nullifies the impact of this evidence on voters.

Mainstream political parties normally claim that populist parties, if they ever got to power, would damage the economy. We have clear evid...

Reminder if you are a @nationaltrust.org.uk member, to find your ballot form and vote before the end of this month.

If you don't have time to identify the opaquely funded entryists who are trying to wreck many decades of vital work, there is a handy slate of candidates you can rely on.

Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏
NEW: The British politician, his Russian intelligence handler & a Kremlin plot against the US & Ukraine.

Some good news.

London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces.

Tediously often Wales is treated as some sort of odd cousin of little import while specifically English stuff is presented as "The News" in many big media contexts, and the upshot of that attitude laid bare here, as something of grave seriousness to all of Britain is sidelined/ignored
And yet - nothing about this is on the BBC main app.

It’s hidden under Welsh news.

Nothing in the Daily Mail, Express, The Sun, The Times.

Seems like Farage’s opinions on everything make front page news EXCEPT when one of his guys admits to taking Russian bribes….🤷🏼‍♀️
