Davey says Elon Musk is "clearly not a fit person to operate in our energy industry."
On Elon Musk's firm being approved by Ofgem to supply energy to British homes, Lib Dem leader Ed Davey:
"Ed Miliband must step in and bar Tesla from holding an energy licence.
"Elon Musk is a threat to our national security...We can’t have the lights go out because he’s having a strop on X.”
Seriously, how on earth do these people still get a hearing? They are wring about everything.
My gosh. The Israeli Defense Minister also openly says here that the role of the Israeli military's legal system is "to protect and safeguard" soldiers — not to hold them accountable, for instance, when they rape someone on camera:
Tweet from Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz: Justice has been done. I welcome the decision of the Chief Military Prosecutor, Major General Itai Ofir, to close the Sde Teiman cases against IDF soldiers and to cancel the indictment against them. This trial was born in sin by the previous Military Advocate General, using a blood libel against IDF soldiers and criminal investigation methods, and I am glad that justice has been done and the trial has been canceled. The role of the IDF's legal system is to protect and safeguard IDF soldiers who engage heroically in war against cruel monsters, and not the rights of the terrorists of Hamas. I am convinced that the decision will lead to a new path.
The Defense Minister of Israel says it was "blood libel" to go after Israeli soldiers caught on camera raping a Palestinian.
@pimlicat.bsky.social, CEO of B4B: “After over 18,000 of our supporters wrote to Ofgem highlighting real public concern over Musk’s powergrab, Best for Britain are calling on the Energy Secretary to step in and urgently reverse Ofgem’s misguided decision. It’s not too late to do the right thing.”
The government is breaking the law by concealing vital information which would help solve our biggest environmental problems

Shell CEO’s pay jumps 60% to £13.8m. Did yours?
Execs rewarded for profiteering.
Average real pay for workers hardly changed since 2008.
Govts claim worker pay rises are inflationary, but silence on exec pay, dividends, share buyback and corporate tax abuses.
You can get 5 years jail for sharing updates about how much Israel is getting hit by Iranian strikes
But I don’t live there and don’t plan on ever speaking to anyone from there or buy its products so here
Israel is wearing some heavy hits

How on earth did Musk pass the 'fit and proper' test to provide UK energy infrastructure?
Russia has earned an estimated €6bn in fossil-fuel, or €510m per day, since the attacks on Iran, according to a new analysis published on Thursday.
On Ofgem’s decision to grant Elon Musk’s Tesla Energy company a licence to supply electricity in Britain, Naomi Smith of Best for Britain: “We all know the British public rightly view Elon Musk as a profoundly dangerous and malign influence, who belongs nowhere near our critical infrastructure."
Best for Britain: "Whoever decided his company met the “fit and proper requirement”, should consider [that] his vindictive - and unelected - cutbacks to US foreign aid could cause more than 14 million additional deaths by 2030."

Here's a new one: ICE detained a man in Utah who had been arrested for a suspected drug sale ... that turned out to be dried pinto beans.
Utah case was dropped but the man, who arrived in US as a minor and has deferred action, was transfered to ICE.

The police had done nothing for six months, even though this was a terrorism matter, and then rushed through a charge without the requisite decision from the attorney general. There was then an attempt to reissue the charge even though they knew it was a day late. And the CPS, rather than accepting defeat at first instance, devoted time and resources to an appeal, even though the applicable law was long settled. Terrorism law should be taken seriously. It is a special body of law in respect of dealing with particular threats. But the case of Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh shows two things. It shows the lack of seriousness with which the police take terrorism legislation, and it shows the utter seriousness of the CPS in trying to protect itself.

What the botched prosecution of Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh says about the police and CPS
A series of unforced errors show that terrorism law is not taken seriously by those who should be enforcing it

"It's actually good when your monthly gas costs go up by 50% because that means someone else is making that much more money now"
Minister Jarvis pointedly noted to Lam that if Parliament couldn't unite on protecting democracy and elected officials, "as we stand and sit in the shadow of the shields" for murdered MPs Jo Cox and David Amess - "then what can cooperate on?"
The question isn’t whether the economy will grow.
The real test is whether it feeds people, houses people, and protects the stability of our fragile planet.
