It shouldn't shock me to see a political leader speaking with moral clarity and from an evidential foundation in migration. Yet, with such an ahistorical and evidence free consensus persisting on migration, it does. Excellent as always from @zackpolanski.bsky.social and so needed.

Profit margins on fuel at UK supermarket and non-supermarket retailers are "historically high".

Govts cut real wages/benefits, don't curb profiteering. Corporate appeasement causes inflation and poverty.

Voluntary agreements and gimmicks don't work. No regulator protects people.
Fuel profit margins still persistently high, says watchdog
The consumer watchdog says weak competition between retailers is keeping profit margins up.

The £-multi-billion Lower Thames Crossing is still going ahead, while the Leeds tram scheme gets postponed. Surely what's holding this country back isn't the bats, newts, nimbies and the legislation that supposedly allows them to block progress - it's @treasurydept.bsky.social's skewed £ priorities!
“One key dispute is over whether another planning or nature bill is required to change rules over protected species and measures to make it easier to build large infrastructure projects, but the changes may be made via secondary legislation.”
