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.

Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) reading: “Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Safety and Peace. ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY!President DJT”

Trump is insulting all those, including British families, worried about his illegal war driving up their energy bills.

Enough is enough. Keir Starmer must show Trump the UK won’t be pushed around and call off the King’s state visit.

UK-EU alignment step in right direction but urgent progress essential Ministers must make urgent progress on a "common sense food and drink deal" with the EU, campaigners have urged.

🚨 Naomi Smith, Best for Britain CEO:

“As Best for Britain has long argued, ministers must not simply make urgent progress on this common sense food and drink deal, but on extending alignment to all industrial service sectors to get growth kickstarted both here and in the EU.”

No other Party has grifted more money than Reform, boasts Farage, using different phraseology

No other Party leader has spent so much time in the US kissing Trump’s ass

No other Party has mismanaged County Councils so badly

No other Party leader is such a stranger in their Constituency

Given Trump's illegal war that is devastating the Middle East and pushing up energy bills, Keir Starmer should advise the King to call off April’s state visit to the US.

A state visit should not be given to someone who repeatedly insults and damages our country.

Please can someone tell Boris Johnson that a period of quiet from him would be most welcome? Preferably for the rest of his life? If the UK is a "piffling irrelevance", it is because of Johnson's Brexit.

To motor normative politicians, every little incremental change that gives space to non-drivers feels like a “war on cars.” Privilege is a hell of a drug

Do car-free zones hurt disabled people? We asked experts. City planners and advocates are seeing "accessibility used as a political football."

“…disabled people are actually less likely to drive than nondisabled people and more likely to get around by walking and rolling and taking transit. Car-heavy cities are also disproportionately dangerous for disabled folks…”— @nondriver.bsky.social

Don’t use accessibility “as a political football.”

This isn’t a hallucination, Michael Gove. You’ve never explained the millions you disbursed to buddies with your crony Covid Contracts.

Cashing in on the worst public health crisis in a century should disbar people from public life permanently.
