The same MSM widely blowing smoke up Farage’s arse are precisely the same ones coming for Labour with everything they’ve got - because this is the most progressive government we’ve had in generations. And they are delivering. This terrifies the right: With. Everything. They’ve. Got.

The climate induced hot & dry summer of 2025 cost UK arable farmers over £800 million between them… & yet many of this contingent are currently supporting the biggest climate deniers in the UK in Farage & his party, Reform UK. Talk about supping with the devil! 👹

Lots of news coverage this morning about £28 billion investment approved to upgrade the UK's energy network.
BUT: The majority of the spending – £17.8 billion - announced today is to maintain Britain’s gas networks rather than build new transmission lines.

"And the combat decisions HE has made" sounds like he's offloading blame 🤔
If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

Excellent journalism from Victoria Derbyshire
Victoria Derbyshire rinsed Baldwin - a washed-up Shadow Business hack from the 14-years-of-chaos Tory circus - after she moaned about Labour’s Budget. Derbyshire hit back: everything they whine about now is what they did while trashing the country. Fourteen years of ruin and they act brand new.

I don't see how Tesla's Model 3 can survive if Benz can offer an alternative EV this cheap, with this kind of performance, on top of the 15% tariff that it's charged in the US.
Imagine what this model does to Tesla in Europe, where Benz pays no tariffs.

Electrification + efficiency — not rolling back climate policy — is the real path to a competitive European industry.
High fossil fuel prices hit industry hardest, not the Green Deal. Undermining clean-energy commitments would only push investment elsewhere.

Why electrification, not repealing green laws, will save Europe's industry
According to Oxford professor of energy Jan Rosenow, rapid electrification of Europe's industry, not rolling back the EU's Green Deal, will save European industry.
