Buy second hand, so if you let things go you are just recirculating.

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

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.

How many electoral college votes would Canada get Mr Trump?

The Hinkley C UK nuclear reactor will produce 3.2GW, it will cost £50bn.

For that the UK could have built 40GW of Wind Turbines in 1/5th of the time.

Which would even on the least windy days of the year produce TWICE as much electricity.

Nuclear is an unnecessary RIPOFF.

Do you see how an act is not, as young men think, like a rock that one picks up and throws, and it hits or misses, and that's the end of it. When that rock is lifted, the earth is lighter; the hand that bears it heavier.

Such as odd thing to know what “it” is!

I make no assumptions that anyone would want a PITA back. They have no obligation.

The first step is getting the UK to understand whether Mr Farridge and Trump share our best interests, or maybe those closer to home.

Very simply, is the UK enjoying accepting rules and having no representation?

As a kid:

It made no sense to me that the Queen was the Head of the Church of England.

Money in the bible stories seemed bad, but collecting money in church was blessed.

Humans are sinful, therefore was it optimal for me to allow a human to stand between me and god? I didn’t fancy this.

Yup. “Sovereignty”, perfect, let’s go for energy that’s not dependent on foreign leaders.

I understand that it isn’t a seat at the table.

My meaning is that I find it odd that some folks out there still seem to think that not being at the table remains best for the UK. So we adopt the rules without being able to steer/contribute to their formulation.

The EU issue informs my voting.

Thank you. Seems sensible.

Do some Brits still think it’s better NOT to have a seat at the table?

No drone has hit Dubai Marina. It was debris from a successful interception Everyone is ok.

No drone has hit Dubai Marina. It was debris from a successful interception.

I wonder if a drone has hit Dubai Marina. Or whether it was just
debris from a successful interception.

If only loads of Dubai based accounts, including Isabel Oakeshott's, could tell me.

This is one result of the 7-year-long, £10 million Chilcot Inquiry: a comprehensive, detailed & crucial guide to avoiding another disastrous war like Iraq. You can understand why Tony Blair ignores its lessons, but every other warmonger in the UK?

⚡️US joins Russia, China in opposing IAEA resolution condemning attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

The U.S. voted against a resolution condemning attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure during a meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors on March 5.

If I was @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I would be pointing out to the BBC that whatever model they use to justify giving Farage & his boot-lickers season tickets for every BBC show under the sun must surely now treat Green Party politicians in exactly the same way. Might even be one for the lawyers...

Good morning old friend.

It is an extraordinary form of “Patriotism”.

I remember the pro-Brexit march at Parliament Square, there were an alarming number of MAGA hats.

Incredible that anyone can persuade themself that “America First” (and screw everyone else) is best for Britain.

Oh good, because this type of activity has worked so well in the past*.

Brilliant. An expat im Dubai has a startling revelation, by @stephencollins.bsky.social

"We called London a war zone and moved to Dubai by mistake"

Ed Davey, "We rightly expect our armed forces to protect British citizens around the world in crisis like this"

"But that includes tax exiles like Isabel Oakeshott who mock ordinary people who stay in the UK and pay our taxes here"

Occasionally I’ll hear an old speech or interview of his. He was so much more articulate ten years ago.

Wow

Hear hear. He’s expressed so much joy, curiosity, openness, gratitude and appreciation about the UK.

In order to understand UK politics in 2026 you must realise that a plumber & plasterer doesn't represent the interests of the working class because she is left-wing but a wealthy broadcaster & former academic does represent the interests of the working class because he is right-wing. Hope this helps

I read this and thought “really?”, then thought, “oh yes, he’s probably in the US”.

You have a very English sounding name.

What lovely photos.

I can also discern something about her. She didn’t have pet cats!
