HMS Dragon deploys to Eastern Mediterranean⚓️
The Type 45 destroyer has sailed from Portsmouth, armed with Aster missiles and supplies as the UK boosts regional defences🔗⬇️
He’s becoming too obvious to read.
Another Johnson, he waits for the electorate’s direction before rushing to the front and shouting “Follow me”. However, this frequent behaviour has caught on, and the electorate is wise to it.

Met him years ago in his Mayfair pub when Openreach first started. Nice bloke.
Possibly a gentleman over the pond has some serious calls from big oil and Wall Street amounting to “get a grip”.
Martin’s recent post @duncanweldon.bsky.social is a compelling argument that could have catastrophic consequences for the city and the white-collar workforce. It highlights the need for a return to manufacturing and blue-collar industries.
This sector is predominantly white-collar services and could be detrimental to the city. A return to manufacturing would be beneficial.
Enjoyed young Sherlock
Indeed.
The events have put low-cost renewables and nuclear back in the spotlight, somewhat undermining the Reform and Conservative big-oil-paid strategy to use gas on the back foot.
His not wrong.
It will come back and bite them, rightly so.
Making anything is energy intensive.
Yep, back to the future, the 1970’s.
Trump clearly has come to the conclusion Farage is not a winner and indeed may put the recent attacks against Starmer in some context, given his attacks’ strength. Badenoch may need to revisit her strategy.
Marching to the right and closer to Reform. There is a large chasm appearing around the centre.
That’s what Stagflation anticipation does?
Well it confirms who is behind this and it isn’t Trump.
I wonder if she will survive the arrival of BILD, published by the Axel-Springer Publishing Company, Germany's largest and most popular tabloid.
It’s a repeat of 1970s energy shortages due to geopolitical conflicts, the 1973 OPEC oil embargo, and the 1979 Iranian Revolution. These events led to a surge in oil prices, causing long gas lines and economic “stagflation”. Now expect a big shift towards electric vehicles and renewables.
Expect strong lobbying to decouple electricity and gas markets: The current system allows expensive, marginal gas-fired power to set the price for all electricity. Removing gas from this mechanism, given the significant renewable savings, prevents price shocks from gas market volatility.

1970s major energy shortages were caused by geopolitical conflicts, with the 1973 OPEC oil embargo and the 1979 Iranian Revolution following. These events caused oil prices to surge, resulting in long gas lines, economic "stagflation," and a shift towards smaller, more fuel-efficient cars globally.
From “bad to worse” strategy
The dumbest method of analysis I have ever heard. Most probably asking Grok to do the analysis.

Which also doesn’t go down well with Clacton.
That’s more electorate they have lost.
