This month the Energy Secretary approved his third large solar farm in a fortnight, one of them on prime farmland across Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire that his own inspectors told him to refuse. They walked the site. They said no. He signed it anyway. So here's the grand plan. Take some of the best food-growing soil in England, ground that has fed people for a thousand years, and bury it under glass panels shipped in from China to catch the famous Lincolnshire sunshine. In a country where the sun knocks off mid-afternoon for half the winter and turns up for roughly eleven per cent of the year, we are concreting over arable land to harvest photons that mostly aren't there. A British solar field spends most of its life doing an impression of a very expensive greenhouse with the plants missing. The panels tilt hopefully at a grey sky. The soil beneath them, some of the finest in the country, sits in the dark for forty years quietly learning to be a car park. And it doesn't come back. Not in your lifetime. They are making a permanent decision about a temporary energy fashion, on ground you cannot un-glass, against the written advice of the men they pay to give it, in the same fortnight the same government swears food security keeps it awake at night. Sunniest idea they've had all year.

Burnham has hinted at a further £38 billion in tax rises.😳 - A ‘care levy’ of 10% on all estates. - NI on landlords rental income which will be passed on to tenants, driving up rents. - The top rate of Income Tax upped to 50%. - Capital Gains tax to be aligned with Income Tax. - Giving mayors the power to impose Tourist Taxes on anyone visiting their areas. - Taxing car park spaces at work. - A Graduate Tax. - Lowering the threshold of Reeves’ Mansion Tax to catch properties worth £1.5 million. - A Land Value Tax. Is it possible to hate Labour enough?

This is Peter Tatchell the awful and toxic man who was celebrating and endorsing poor Ann Widdecombe’s murder. The face of everything that is wrong with so called Modern Britain today. Evil, Shameless and Un British.
