The Stone Roses - She Bangs the Drums (1989) Such a cool sound!

Do the people who want to take back Britain to how it used to be realise that they are talking about the times before Brexit?

Filling your car up is now more expensive as a direct consequence of an illegal war that Kemi Badenoch was desperate for us to join two weeks ago #bbclaurak

Who knew? 😎

Trade secretary Kemi Badenoch in 2022: “we believe that green trade and investment will be the future-proofing force that will help us create a better tomorrow.” Mel Stride, the same year: “net zero, the shift must happen now as a matter of urgency.”

Billy Bragg on stage at the Together Alliance march Where he also pays tribute to the people of Minneapolis who stood up against ICE "Last year's Unite the Kingdom march organised by Tommy Robinson was the most divisive event in the country over the last ten years" "Commentators were saying these people have justified concerns" "That may be the case" "But their solutions, are not justifiable in any way" "Remigration, the forced deportation of our fellow citizens. We've seen what that looks like in the USA" "And if it does come to that in this country then we will have to be as courageous as the people of Minneapolis who stood in the streets" *Breaks into his song City Of Heroes* 🎵 The ghost of Martin Niemöller 🎵 Haunts the halls of history 🎵 When they came for the communists 🎵 He said, “It’s nothing to do with me” 🎵 When they came for the democrats 🎵 He looked the other way 🎵 And when they came for Jews 🎵 He had nothing to say 🎵 His silence didn’t save him 🎵 When they came for him as well 🎵 There was no one to speak out for him 🎵 Resistance had been quelled 🎵 What excuses would you tell yourself 🎵 If this ever happened to you? 🎵 Well, I live in a city of heroes 🎵 I know what I would do 🎵 When they came for the immigrants 🎵 I got in their face 🎵 When they came for the refugees 🎵 I got in their face 🎵 When they came for the five-year-olds 🎵 I got in their face 🎵 When they came to my neighborhood 🎵 I just got in their face 🎵 With their tear gas and pepper spray 🎵 Against our whistles and our phones 🎵 But in this city of heroes 🎵 We will protect our home 🎵 When they took people from their cars 🎵 I got in their face 🎵 When they dragged people from their homes 🎵 I got in their face 🎵 When they murdered our sister 🎵 I got in their face 🎵 And when they murdered our brother 🎵 I still got in their face 🎵 In Dachau, Martin Niemöller 🎵 Suffered for his complicity 🎵 But in this city of heroes 🎵 We learn the lessons of history 🎵 I will bear witness to murder 🎵 I will bear witness to tyranny 🎵 I will bear witness to terror 🎵 I will bear witness to fascism

⏰ Steve Richards draws comparisons to 1973 but misses key differences. In 1973 we’d just joined Europe and had domestic energy and food capacity (we exported surplus) and rapidly growing trade after joining the EEC Now we are exposed to global energy markets with weaker domestic production and added trade friction thanks to Brexit. Same shock with polar opposite resilience.

I’ve been saying two things in response to the fossil fools calling for more drilling in the North Sea - both are cutting through. First is we don't set the price of our own North Sea oil and gas, second is we have very little left, around 10%. More drilling can't help us with this energy (price) crisis and the idea of some kind of oil self sufficiency for Britain is a fantasy. Now comes this revelation - the hundreds of licences the Tories issued, over a 14 year period, in pursuit of this fantasy - resulted in just one months worth of gas being produced. The reality is starkly different to the fantasy Farage and Badenoch would have us believe. theguardian.com/business/2026/…

‼️ @bbclaurak “UK could be worse hit than almost any other developed economy.” Then skips the reason why! BREXIT Brexit weakened the economy, hammered resilience and increased exposure. Rejoining the EU Single Market will help us all survive this crisis. 🔥 The promises of control are like Cinderella’s fairytale - gone by midnight. #bbclaurak #TrevorPhilips

The claim that North Sea drilling will slash your bills is "sheer fantasy". Oxford data proves it: renewables save households up to £441/year. Drilling? At best £82. Nothing if tax revenues aren't redistributed. Don't need to be an academic to see who's selling you a lie.

Drilling in the North Sea would do absolutely none of these things. But it would make your donors happy.

@implausibleblog They closed down production over 14 years and imposed a 75% tax. If you did not know better you would think she is making this up as she goes along

Kemi Badenoch whose Conservative didn't cut taxes on energy bills, during 14 years of austerity, says that this Labour should 🤷‍♂️ "No I'm not saying once you drill oil and gas in the North Sea goes straight onto your bill, on one has said that" I'm bookmarking the above quote for when someone does say that..
