KS wiping the floor with Kemi Badenoch over her Iran hypocrisy in #PMQs

Sir Keir Starmer unveils Labour's small boats policy YouTube video by Times News

Keir Starmer is a principled person, who's 100% committed to delivering the manifesto he stood on.

That includes the committment to "secure our borders", which was essential to winning the 2024 GE, and delivering it will be essential to keeping out Reform in 2029.

In what way has Keir Starmer laid the groundwork for Farage? 🤷

In case you've forgotten, there was this thing called "Brexit", and a party called "UKIP'.

The far-right insurgency is a 10+ year-old problem KS has inherited, not caused.

Analysis: Cutting the ‘green crap’ has added £22bn to UK energy bills since 2015 - Carbon Brief UK's energy bills were £22bn higher over the past decade than they would have been if Conservative governments had not cut “green crap” climate policies.

Labour's new Warm Homes Plan for climate-friendly housing, restores the green standards for housing put in place by the 1997-2010 Labour government, which were ditched by David Cameron in 2015; when he reportedly told his minions to "cut the green crap" 🤮

Reaching net zero by 2050 ‘cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’ Climate change committee finds move to renewable energy would also bring health, economic and security benefits

"Achieving the UK’s net zero target by 2050 will cost less than a single oil shock and bring health and economic benefits while insulating the country against future costs, the government’s climate advisers have forecast."

Guest post: How heat pumps became a Nordic success story - Carbon Brief A common criticism of heat pumps is that they do not work in cold weather. But how did heat pumps became a Nordic success story?

Heating is arguably a bigger challenge, but eminently doable:

"Cumulatively, the heat pumps sold over the past 30 years contributed to a -72% drop in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from heating in Finland, -83% in Norway and -95% in Sweden"

‘Diversionary war’: Trump wants to distract Americans from scandals at home | Christopher S Chivvis Iran strikes are attempt to hijack the global narrative and drown out Epstein and tariffs with the thunder of cruise missiles

Ego-trip or cynical distraction?

"the strikes function as a classic 'diversionary war' – an attempt to hijack the global narrative and drown out domestic scandal with the thunder of cruise missiles."

Analyst says interest in Epstein files plummeted after war on Iran launched Republican US Congressman Thomas Massie has said the war 'won’t make the Epstein files go away'.

“if you look at searches on Google for the #EpsteinFiles, they’ve plummeted since this started. So, at least temporarily, it’s succeeding. It’s taking up Congress’ time and it’s taking up the media’s time"
www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/...

But the #Trump-EpsteinFiles are out of the headlines 🤷

The first country to BAN the sale of new gas cars is doing just fine, actually Two years ago, Ethiopia became the first country to ban gas cars from its roads. Two years later, they seem to be doing great!

Great information. Given the state of the climate, and the volatility of the oil markets, I think the sooner the better.

Change can happen quickly. For example, Ethiopia banned the sale of new ICE vehicles in favour of EVs in 2024; primarily for economic reasons.

... and get wall-to-wall uncritical coverage from mainstream UK media for doing so 🤦‍♂️

WATCH: Nigel Farage and Robert Jenrick change fuel prices in Buxton at a Reform UK petrol station They have pledged to reinstate the 5p fuel duty cut in their first Budget

Farage and Jenrick pull a stunt in Buxton in protest at the fuel prices which are going up - on account of a war they both back - started by a man Farage flew thousands of miles to "have dinner with" only for said man to decide he was busy.

So much dignity going on.

The Greens want NIMBY votes and they want votes from people who want massive renewables investment and they want votes from people who want cheaper housing and lower rents. They can dodge the obvious contradictions of this for a while - luxury of insurgent opposition - but not forever.

Uninjured Spurs keeper subbed at 4-0 down after 26 minutes 🤦‍♂️

All not rosy in the house of Tudor.

Surely it's a lesson for Farage, if that 💩 is capable of learning one.

Starmer was 100% right.

Horrible behavior by Blair

Rachel Reeves faces growing calls to ditch fuel tax hike after Iran war Reform UK has set out further detail of how it would cover the cost of scrapping September's planned rise.

Just the UK media prominently and platforming Nigel Farage apparently fuming about the sharp rise in fuel prices; caused by his ally Trump's unprovoked attack on a middle-eastern country, fully endorsed by ... Nigel Farage

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

FACTS:

Net Zero barely nudges your bill.

Fossil‑fuel wars send it through the roof.

So when Farage and his ilk slags off renewables while fanning conflict, remember who actually hikes your costs.

I still believe in Ollie ... although I have recently dropped him from my fantasy team 🤷

There's so many to choose from, TBF!

Absolutely horrendous. How is this allowed to be aired and normalised?

Jeez, this is scarily nuts on so many levels.

Nigel Farage: I admire Vladimir Putin Ukip leader praises Russian president's handling of Syria crisis, but describes Germany's chancellor as 'incredibly cold'

As the right wing press praises Tony Blair for his "rebuke" of Keir Starmer for not supporting Donald Trump's war on Iran ("We should have backed America from the very beginning."), time to re-up @carolecadwalla.bsky.social's investigation into the Tony Blair Institute
