US bombers loading up on UK airstrips before raining down bombs on Iran.
Parliament wasn't consulted - and polling shows huge numbers oppose it.
When do MPs get a say over our involvement in this war?

The climate emergency rolls on-I won't live long enough to see the worst (I'm 70 next year) but when my young relatives look back to this time I'm sure that some will say 'Why didn't #r4today presenters hold those in power to account over the climate?'.

In 2020 Nigel Farage said of MPs who defect & refuse a by-election โitโs not right, itโs dishonorableโ
Iโm sure Mr Farage canโt wait to attend the debate on 16 March and repeat this comment.
Addis Ababa is set to host the United Nations climate summit COP32 in 2027. But the change in vehicle policy was driven by financial pressure, rather than climate goals.

It is extremely difficult to construct a practical case against this position. Net Zero is now as much about patriotism as it is about climate change.
#R4Today donโt like to talk about renewables in a positive way โฆ
The world has built its energy system around oil. Now imagine something different.
Sunlight travels 93 million miles at the speed of light to reach Earth โ never passes through the Strait of Hormuz.
Energy from the sky doesnโt need an army to protect it. #Bettrification
#R4Today doesnโt seem to want to mention this โฆ
ANALYSIS: Badenoch and Farage might not want to admit it, but Conservative and Reform plans to scrap net zero whilst boosting the North Sea would actually make the UK even more reliant on gas imports ๐ค

The CBI (Confederation of British Industry) has also come out quite loudly in support pointing to continued exposure to fossil fuel imports and the investment and growth opportunity. www.cbi.org.uk/media-centre...
Analysis published today by the UK Climate Change Committee shows that decarbonising the UK by 2050 would cost less than than keeping the system as is if just one 2022 style price shock happened again. This analysis took place before the current price shock by the way.
Our dependency on fossil fuels makes us vulnerable. Wars across the world are pushing up prices for households in the UK.
Why keep waiting for the next crisis? We need to transition to clean power as fast as we can to protect people and our economy.

A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says โtheyโre having problems with their economy again.โ
This is from 1975.
It's no longer OK for you to sit in the house of Lords because your dad did.
But if your mate put you there?
That's fine.
Neither of these really feel like democracy to me.
Emma Barnett *did* seem to be suggesting that the UK can't have any influence on the war on Iran unless we join the US and Israel. And then when challenged by Darren Jones she backtracked. #r4today

In these dark times, youโve really got to admire Spursโs commitment to making everyone laugh.
Mary Trump: โFor Donald, there is one reason and one reason alone. He's in trouble, and he knows it. This isn't simply about changing the subject. That, of course, would be bad enough. This is to keep himself and the world from knowing what an inept, depraved, compromised fraud he is."
We should both go to war with Iran but also stay out of the war with Iran

there's a theory that if only Britain exploited North Sea oil we'd be secure from a global energy price shock
which totally ignores (or doesn't understand) the fact that energy prices are global and a rise in UK production (from a declining basin) would have negligible impact on that global price
Tonight Matthew I'm going to add 150 miles of driving range to my electric car for ยฃ3.79. Try that with your mild hybrid.
How? Because wind power.
Imagine thinking that drilling the North Sea for oil and gas that isn't there is the solution for being energy-dependent on oil from Gulf autocracies.
A tax barrister is suing me personally for ยฃ8m for libel, for linking him to a dodgy tax avoidance scheme. The judgment is due out tomorrow 12pm. I'll post about it as soon as it's out.
