Unlike a gas boiler which has a schedule to go on and off, a heat pump comes on and stays on, maintaining a constant warmth in your living space. It’s both more efficient and more comfortable, but it does have a learning curve for those migrating from gas.

Are we surprised?

The US public has been sold a view of the USA as peacemaker that is not supported by evidence. Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam and numerous international interventions to bolster US interests in places like Indonesia, Brazil, Nicaragua, Korea… The list goes on and on.

And if the SAVE act were passed, What’s next? The PRESIDENT FOR LIFE Act?

It was a song written after a particularly bad break up, so β€œlies” might be appropriate?

Churchill would have had Farage prosecuted for treason.

The thing is, you don’t need any more evidence. You have all the evidence you need, some of it out of his own mouth. He is a rapist, and a pedophile. Proving it is not the issue. Doing something about it is the issue. The corruption goes wide and deep. A lot of people are going down with him.

β€œThe next David Cameronβ€œ.

Is she corrupt as well, then?

You’ve got sovereignty. No schools, no services, privatised NHS, no social care, and the planet is burning, but you’ve got sovereignty.

The UK has two aircraft carriers, but normally only one of them is on deployment. The other is on maintenance, repairs, and upgrades.

For Women’s Day, this 19 year old kept telling the Admiralty why they were losing convoys to German U Boats. They kept losing them until they finally listened to a young female mathematician.

This is where we rely on bloggers and reviewers to branch out and report back.

If you’re going to eliminate anything formulaic, you’ll take out half the NYT bestseller list.

Mainstream publishing is broken. The business model is collapsing under the weight of celebrities and influencers, undermined by Amazon and pirate sites. Agents are caught in the middle and buried in piles of AI slop.

The Tories, goaded by Farage and his shady backers, told the country that Brexit would end migration when what we needed to do was end the wars that made people flee their homes to risk their lives in small boats.

Meanwhile, another war.

It’s increasingly apparent how out of touch they are with public opinion, and how entitled they feel to dictate public opinion.

When I first read the headline, the last bit sounded in my head like the voice of a Dalek.

I guess the difference is that one said, β€œStop the Genocide”, whereas the other said, β€œBurn people alive in hotels”? I paraphrase, but you get the idea.

The local elections are in 2 months and Reform UK are begging people to stand.

Recruitment must be going poorly, they’ve probably realised they don’t have enough former Tories to fill their candidate list.

He speaks like he’s some great political strategist with a huge majority, not a minor MP in a marginal seat.
