By blocking Chevening scholars from coming to the UK the Home Secretary has officially put paid to any arguments that her hostile anti-immigration/asylum policies are anything other than right wing xenophobia. These are the best and the brightest, and she is blocking them.

Achieving the UKโs net zero target by 2050 will cost less than a *single* oil price shock

Meanwhile Reform UK & Tories want to scrap net zero targets on the grounds of 'cost' - so either foolish or doing donors' bidding

Things look grim in the markets right now, but at least the U.S. economy wasnโt already being propped up by a massive speculative AI bubble that is highly sensitive to rising energy costs.
The Home Office is hiring staff from McDonalds and supermarkets to decide on refugee deportation cases. Staff know so little that some consult Lonely Planet guides to decide if a country is safe. Some canโt even find countries theyโre returning people to on the map

Why is the US attacking Venezuela, kidnapping its head of state? Why is it trying to starve the people of Cuba, what is it playing at in Ecuador, why is it enabling a genocide in the Gaza Strip? Why is its president trying to extort the world? Because it is governed by criminals.
Consider: why is America, a country in North America, attacking Iran on the other side of the world? What right does the US have to bomb and attempt to destroy any country, anywhere on Earth? It has no right to do so. Itโs doing it because it is governed by criminals.
I donโt know if I would consider it โcozying upโ when the President, a suspected Russian asset, is acting more in the interests of Russia than the United States.
