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.

I'm a vicar in a small rural village. I could never say this to my flock because of the outcry, but Reform are blatantly opposed to genuine Christian values and it's clear that anyone considering voting for them has not been listening to a single word I say each week
'Getting people who have always voted Labour every time except this week is madness, we should alienate them to appeal to people who demonstrably will never vote for us. Otherwise we will continue to languish in government'.
America’s foreign policy is now “How many people have to die before you stop talking about the Epstein Files?”
What an utterly disgusting and dangerous front page from the Mail today. Surely by now everyone can see that Reform is a party that thrives on division, fuels anger, and uses the scapegoating of minorities and migrants to gain support. Everyone it seems except the Mail
'The future can be better and Reform can fuck off' is the message Labour should have been pushing all along, instinctively. And they were told, and they can fix it.
I agree, but how much are you going to pay for your subscription? Running a search engine is billionaire-level expensive.
The UK actually has top tier weather. Four distinct seasons. Never too hot or too cold. No extreme weather disaster stuff either. Not many places have it better.
No one, apart from you, wants to see that thing you made with AI.
We don't send you surveys to find out how satisfied you were with the driver who put your parcel in the bin just before it was emptied. We just need to maximise the opportunities for you to accept cookies so we can track you and sell data.
Penny, is that you?
I could probably talk at length about how DRM and AI are the same scam, presented as inevitable by the tech industry while being entirely unfit for purpose.
DRM made me very mad when I was a tech editor, but at least it wasn't a plagiarism lie machine that cause people to kill themselves.
If MPs switch parties, there should be a by-election
Nigel Farage used to champion the case of defecting politicians seeking a fresh mandate. So why aren’t Reform’s new recruits doing so? Ah cos he’s a lying grifter
They're not even the Tories, they're just the box disaffected Tories are parking in while their party sorts itself out.
It's really hard to get adult grandkids to visit grandparents who do things like vote for Brexit to hobble our economy, support Boris Johnson's handling of covid, and Liz Truss putting up our mortgages. This isn't "politics" It's our lives.
The introduction of IFrames was the beginning of the end for the World Wide Web.
'This unprecedented climate event is proof the climate isn't changing' is an argument that has collapsed itself before you even open your mouth to reply.
Where's the outrage we saw when Angela Rayner, who paid the wrong amount of tax on a property for her disabled son, & followed poor advice? She had a single breach of code for an amount ~10% of what Farage has tried to tax dodge.
When is he going to be made to resign due to media pressure?
steve richards ® @steverichards14 X.com Powerful and much needed framing from Andy Burnham in the Guardian..should be repeated every day by ministers or they will find they are blamed for 'broken Britain': "If the question at the centre of British politics is "who broke Britain?", let's be clear and unequivocal. The four horsemen of Britain's apocalypse are deindustrialisation, privatisation, austerity and Brexit. In my time in politics, there has been a tendency for too many in Labour to accept too much of the framing of the right, but we must firmly reject its narrative and call it out in no uncertain terms. Figures on the British right talk of taking back control, but people can see that they are the ones who gave it away."
Obviously, but anyone notable telling the public this stuff is going to be destroyed in short order. If the left/lib bloc can’t deliver Thatcherism enforced by crackdowns, then they will be replaced by the reactionary/fascist one, whatever it takes to get it done.
I am now convinced that the only reason AI is being shoved into everything, even at a financial loss to the companies who make it, is to try and convince the government that it's "too big to fail" when the bubble finally pops.
Talented and highly skilled sportsperson, yes. But "athlete"?
Concur, but sadly it'll take a lot of people's pension savings with it
Thank goodness David Cameron held that referendum to see off the rise of Farage.
If you can automate your whole workday with AI then so can your employer…
Start singing right now, doesn't matter if you use intelligible words or not, or even random sounds, as long as it's making music with your mouth.
Hey everybody, tiny suggestion, let's put quotes around "AI" every time we write it, and make finger air quotes every time we say it.
So very “Christian” to bomb another country on Christmas Day. This is the same guy who has practically begged for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Posh hotels: stop tucking the duvet under the mattress, you fucking maniacs.
Okay. I’m going to stop looking stuff up online. It’s getting too unreliable - AI inventing facts, Wikipedia being Wikipedia, Google deliberately making their search engine worse to get more ad clicks.
I have books. Lots of books. I shall use them instead.
