Britain wastes millions a day switching off wind turbines. See how much has been wasted today, and in 2025.

<div class="field field-field-text"><p data-end="441" data-start="111">The Tony Blair Institute (TBI) has been linked to a project widely condemned for proposing the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, involving a sweeping postwar redevelopment of the besieged Strip.</p>
<p data-end="441" data-start="111">Plans include a "Trump Riviera" and infrastructure named after wealthy Gulf monarchs, according to <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/0b1bc761-c572-4b61-882a-fb4467259dcd" target="_blank">documents reviewed by the Financial Times (FT)</a> and revealed on Sunday.</p>
<p data-end="857" data-start="443">The vision, outlined in a slide deck titled The Great Trust, was created by a group of Israeli businessmen with support from consultants at Boston Consulting Group (BCG).</p>
<p data-end="857" data-start="443">BCG’s plan assumed that at least 25 percent of Palestinians would leave "voluntarily", with most never returning. It remains unclear whether Palestinians would have any choice in the matter, but the proposal has been widely condemned as <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/gaza-transfer-plan-banality-ethnic-cleansing" target="_blank">ethnic cleansing</a> of the territory’s indigenous population.</p>

The only way to stop people being forced into the hands of people smugglers is to introduce safe routes for people to seek safety in the UK. Starmer knows this - but instead of making this lifesaving change, he's choosing to dance to Nigel Farage's tune. Shameful.

Next time Starmer and Reeves say there's too much regulation, remember this.
This is what a deregulated economy looks like, and we all pay for it, with our health, our ecosystems and, eventually - when the massive clean-up / land abandonment bill can no longer be avoided - our wallets.

A gobsmacking story. Water companies let toxic waste disposers, for cash, dump their loads into sewage farms. The sewage sludge is then spread, untested, on farmland, potentially poisoning vast areas, entire ecosystems and the people (you and me) eating the food.

Since refusing to extend the ceasefire in Gaza, Israel has indiscriminately targeted Palestinian civilians and slaughtered hundreds.
The British government refuses to call these attacks what they are: severe breaches of international law and genocide.

This is a seminal moment: a Labour government cutting disability benefits. Not just continuing Tory levels. Cutting.
This comes after a week of speculation, itself an act of cruelty by a government toying with people’s dignity.
These cuts are disgraceful - and they will cost lives.

When you're in government, you have lots of choices. Sir Keir Starmer chooses to go after the poorest, most vulnerable people in society while doubling down on the immense privilege of the the wealthy.
The fact he destroyed 'the people's party' to do so, should tell you something about control.
