Sorry to be blunt, but this article from @timleunig.bsky.social is nonsense.
The UK does not import gas from "just three countries". In 2024 we imported from 11 countries, and in 2022, 14!
LNG carriers go from anywhere they can load to anywhere they can unload – they just head to whoever pays best
"Demanded" half a million quid ?
It was a lie, not an opinion. A blatant and obvious lie. Something he knew was a lie. And not just another one of the hundreds of lies he tells every day - a lie about the killing of at least 175 people, mostly girls who were attending school. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
This government needs to discuss Cuba policy urgently because it could blow up very badly for everybody if Trump and Rubio successfully choke off all the Venezuelan oil. Rubio could be the dog that finally caught the car -- and he has no plan for what to do the day after. 1/
40% of Nigel Farage's donations come from Fossil Fuel.
If there is a 25p cut in Fuel Duty, Fossil Fuel profits in the UK will increase by up to £15bn a year.
That is who the cuts are for, his billionaire donors.
A handful of companies monopolise the web, with unprecedented access to our data. But there are many more ethical – and often distinctively European – alternatives

NHS executives are having secret meetings with Palantir, while the doctors who actually make the NHS work are protesting.
We need to get Palantir out. If you want to be a whistleblower message email hw4fp.uk@protonmail.com, or say no to Palantir 👇

Methane venting is not some avoidable mistake. It's a baked in part of gas extraction + processing.
If we continue to extract gas & oil, no way round it, we will be releasing vast amounts of this incredibly potent greenhouse gas.
We have to stop extracting fossil fuels, now.

A national tragedy - what is it with (UK) men ? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
UK democracy in action.
Thousands of unpaid carers prosecuted for inadvertently breaching benefit rules.
No Post Office exec prosecuted for false prosecutions of postmasters.
In 2017, 72 people died in Grenfell fire. Execs “deliberately concealed” the fire risks of cladding. No one prosecuted.

Lovely story on the BBC about iceberg a23a, which has given us decades of fun but is now nearing its end…
Really enjoyed talking with Mark Poynting about this one-time behemoth.

This is incredibly on point.
Spot oil prices grab the news, but it’s the impact we’re about to witness to petrochemical and derivative production that should really scare the shit out of folks.
It’s the sort of shock that could ripple through our global industrial economy for many months.
Much different than Dire Straits but beautiful. Needed this for our Sunday morning...

“On Trump’s head sat a gold-embroidered white hat with the letters ‘USA’ on the front, ‘45-47’ on one side, and the American flag on the other.

Does everyone know this stuff ? Explains a lot #IranWar
It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.
BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.
This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.

Just in case you don’t know what Christian Nationalism, promoted by Pete Hegseth and Co, is and how deeply scary it is…
What part of stay firmly out of Trump's mess doesn't Keir Starmer get. He started out with the right words but he is gradually drifting towards complicity in a war crime that will cause damage for years.
They've gone and shrinkflationed a dozen ..
