Does anyone remember Labour or the Lib Dems having issue with foreign money in domestic politics when it was George Soros seeking to overturn a referendum?

@StuartMaggs They can’t even be bothered to try and make gas cheap enough for us to restart domestic ammonia production so there’s no way they’re going to do anything else. They’re just paralysed by incompetence.

I really hope that the team at DEFRA are all over this and will shortly be producing their strategic plan of support to UK farmers together with their assessment of the impact of three major locks on the supply of nitrogen over the coming year.
Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡@shanaka86

JUST IN: The most irreversible consequence of this war is not happening in Tehran. It is happening in a barn in Iowa. A farmer is standing over a kitchen table looking at two seed catalogues. One is corn. One is soybeans. Corn needs 180 pounds of nitrogen per acre. Nitrogen costs $610 per ton on the CBOT March futures settlement as of yesterday, up 35 percent in a month. Soybeans fix their own nitrogen from the atmosphere through root bacteria called rhizobia. They need nothing from the Strait of Hormuz. The farmer is choosing soybeans. Millions of acres are choosing soybeans. And once the planter rolls into the field, the choice cannot be reversed until next year. USDA projected corn at roughly 94 million acres for 2026, down from 98.8 million. Soybeans at 85 million, up from 81.2 million. Those projections were published February 19, before urea surged past $683 at New Orleans. The actual shift will be larger. USDA Prospective Plantings reports March 31. By then the seeds will be in the ground. This is the transmission channel the world is not watching. A 21-mile strait enforced by provincial commanders with sealed radio orders just rewrote the planting economics of 90 million acres of the most productive farmland on Earth. Not through sanctions. Not through diplomacy. Through the price of a single molecule that corn cannot grow without and soybeans do not need. Now follow the cascade. The Renewable Fuel Standard mandates 15 billion gallons of corn ethanol annually. That consumes roughly 43 percent of the entire US corn crop. The mandate is set by the EPA. It does not flex when corn acres shrink. It is inelastic demand consuming a fixed share of a declining supply. When supply tightens against a fixed mandate, the remaining corn reprices upward. Corn above $5 per bushel compresses every margin downstream. The US cattle herd stands at 86.2 million head, a 75-year low per USDA NASS. Poultry and pork operations face compression from higher corn prices. Feed is the single largest cost in livestock production. When feed reprices, protein reprices. When protein reprices, every grocery shelf in America absorbs the increase. This is the protein cascade. Corn to feed to meat to eggs to dairy to the checkout counter. Each link tightens because the link before it tightened. The originating cause is a urea molecule that cannot transit a strait because a provincial commander’s sealed orders say it cannot. The farmer did not start this war. The farmer cannot end it. The farmer responds to the price on the screen and the biology of the two crops in front of him. Corn needs the molecule. Soybeans do not. At $610 the arithmetic is settled. The planter rolls. The season is locked. Israel just authorised the assassination of every Iranian official on sight. The US has spent $16.5 billion. South Pars is burning. The Fed is holding rates because oil inflation will not break. Gold touched $5,000. Bitcoin is bleeding. China is running exercises near Taiwan. Sri Lanka shut down on Wednesdays. And underneath all of it, a man in a barn is making the decision that determines whether four billion people pay more for food this year. He has never heard of the Mosaic Doctrine. He does not know what a sealed contingency packet is. He knows what nitrogen costs. And he is planting soybeans.

Interesting. I remember working on this story with Sima Kotecha at Newsnight. The costs to victims are really high. One rape victim was quoted £7,500 for the transcript of her trial. Another victim was quoted £300 just for the judge's sentencing remarks: bbc.co.uk/news/uk-671238…
Sienna Rodgers@siennamarla

Exclusive by @nadinebh_: Labour MPs have been told to vote AGAINST an amendment to allow victims free access to transcripts of court proceedings Why? The minister cites preparedness and affordability 👇 politicshome.com/news/article/l…

@SimonDanczuk @ramonagusta Surely the public can expect that a prime minister's chief of staff has sufficient ability to communicate clearly and accurately in a crisis, such as after such a theft?

Anyone reading the transcript will conclude McSweeney deliberately obfuscated, lied about location, avoided mentioning Downing Street, and failed to say there was sensitive information on the phone. The British public are being had by Starmer and Labour. thesun.co.uk/news/38627793/…

Is allowing the EU to set British energy prices and change Britain's food standards without the public's consent foreign interference in British politics?

He saw a boy with his skull caved in… and refused to look away. London, 1765. A civil servant named Granville Sharp walks past something most people would ignore. A young African boy, beaten nearly to death. His name was Jonathan Strong. Sharp did not walk on. He took him in. Paid for his recovery. And when Strong’s owner came back to claim him as property, Sharp fought. Not as a lawyer. Not as a politician. Just as a man who believed something was wrong. What followed was not a movement. It was not a law. It was one case, then another, then another. Until the question could no longer be ignored. Could slavery even exist under English law? This is Chapter 2. If you believe these stories should be told properly, help us grow: proudofus.co.uk/support Be part of us. Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧

In 2021, the same Speaker did tell Boris Johnson twice during #PMQs, to answer questions. So he can do something about it.
Chris Rose@ArchRose90

After #PMQs Tory MP Sir Edward Leigh MP raised a Point of Order on Keir Starmer dodging EVERY question EVERY week. The Speaker says that he cannot do anything about it. It has become utterly points to watch. I don’t blame the Reform MPs for walking out. It’s so pointless now.

In the leaked audio, summarized by Hungarian media, an EU official bluntly said: "the Commission appears to be pressuring Kyiv but in reality does not want to force the (Druzhba) pipeline to reopen—presumably because it is aware that this would affect both Ukraine’s war situation and Viktor Orbán’s campaign."
POLITICOEurope@POLITICOEurope

POLITICO launched a security review after a private telephone conversation between one of its reporters and an EU official about issues connected to Hungary and Ukraine was apparently intercepted and the recording published online. politico.eu/article/politi…

So let’s get this all in context. Morgan McSweeneys phone, with highly sensitive information on it. Was snatched by a random thief in London. Phone numbers like Keir Starmer and all the inner circle that run the country were on it. There was no security service investigation by MI5? Bare in mind this is a massive security breach. No effort to retrieve any of the information on the phone. No effort to try to find out if this was the work of a foreign enemy of the state. And it was just reported by phone to the Met? No actual face to face report because the Met was too busy. Do you believe this absolute cock and bull story? This is a cover up at the highest levels of government. And the only way this plays out is if the head of MI5 comes out and admits that our government and its key staff are exposed. And its open season on key government staff. @RupertLowe10 @Nigel_Farage @EdwardJDavey @KemiBadenoch @elonmusk @RestoreBritain_

I've now spoken to two former Government Spads. Both were senior, both lost their Government phones. In both cases their first approach was to the Government internal security services, who then brokered a liaison with the Met to ensure the issue was dealt with properly.

Everyone's worried about honey bees, but the American bumblebee population has decreased by 89% in the last 20 years. These native pollinators are at risk of extinction due to habitat loss, pesticide use, and disease. Plant native flowers and skip the chemicals.

This is Amjad Bseisu CEO of EnQuest plc an independent United Kingdom-based petroleum exploration and production company which operates mainly in the United Kingdom Continental Shelf.  He says they have 400 million barrels of resources in the North Sea that can’t be produced due to the UK government's prohibitive tax regime. This is not an energy transition this is energy denial @Ed_Miliband - please watch this video.  @EnQuestplc @TiceRichard @Keir_Starmer
