Today marks 25 years of offshore wind power: an initiative that reduced the UK’s spending on imported fuels by up to £30bn.

Without wind power the country would’ve imported & burned over 20 million tonnes of gas over the last 25 years.

Wind works 🌬️ For the climate and the economy.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

Why this matters:

Martin Shipton, Nation Cymru:

"Wales is Reform’s next big target… if they [win the Senedd next May] it will make the national Reform party flush with taxpayers’ cash."

(quote from @thenerve.news)

Reform run Kent has already disappeared £40 million. Wales would be much more.
NEW: Wales’s first minister @prifweinidog.gov.wales backs call for a full investigation into Russian interference.

Wales’s Senedd elections next spring ‘at risk’. @bbcwales.bsky.social report below.

I believe that the government could save huge amounts of money by closing all loopholes in the broken system of public procurement not just the gimmick promises of what I have heard yesterday about investigation into the Covid scam alone

3/3 are widespread, often involving corrupt officials insiders. Authorities must act decisively, not only against those who profited from the Covid scams but also against the corrupt networks operating within these vital services before corruption becomes ingrained and normalized

The President of the United States of America - who is a stunning black hole of sociopathy and malignant narcissism - is emotionally incapable of wishing ALL the people of the United States a Happy Thanksgiving.

Incapable.

Oh and he threatened the lives of Dem legislators this week.

The BBC and other media awash today with people with fancy titles from one right-wing think-tank or another, bloviating wildly about the budget. NOBODY asks them where their funding comes from, ever. This is not fair and impartial 'journalism'. It is utter cant.

Brexit: “The most dishonest campaign in our history said it would save us £350m a week, but Brexit actually cost us £250m a day in 2025. That is why we have the highest taxes ever, that is why we have sky-high bills, that is why we have a cost of living crisis” @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

This is not just a current political issue. Charging & punishing these particular perpetrators is vital to keeping the fight against the ongoing abuse & killing of women & children by men in the spotlight. "Me Too" was only a start.
