William’s ‘quiet faith’ is just a polite British way of saying he is a CEO who doesn’t believe in the product. We are clinging to a hereditary system that forces a secular man to roleplay as a religious leader. It is not a tradition; it is a farce. Bin the lot. #AbolishTheMonarchy #SupremeGovernor

The Palace of Westminster is a ridiculous place to house our parliament. It's too small, it's falling apart, it costs a fortune to upkeep. Just move parliament elsewhere in London, hold the big ceremonial events in the palace but otherwise turn it over to tourism.

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks.

@MattMacKinnonUK It's really funny to me how mediocre white men are afraid of languages and too lazy to learn them. Also funny how those same men struggle to parse context, even in English, too.

“Welsh is a political language” and a “political tool”, says Plaid Cymru. They have finally said the quiet part out loud. The increase in the use of the language by Welsh political, cultural and sporting elites has intensely ramped up over the past decade, now everyone can see why. It’s part of their long term strategy to tear Wales away from our British family and create a big state, socialist, multicultural nation that acts as a pawn for the globalist elites.

NEW: We often hear that Scotland’s more progressive income tax is “driving people out the country.” New HMRC data shows the opposite. Far more taxpayers are moving to Scotland than leaving it. Let’s look at the data 🧵

"The strategic innovation is that Iran has found a way to fund its war effort through the war itself. ... The closure created scarcity. ...The feedback loop is self-financing: the blockade generates the revenue that sustains the blockade." It's going to be a long war, then
Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡@shanaka86

JUST IN: Iran is charging $2 million per tanker to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. The Financial Times reported the payment. The IRGC confirms it by radio. And the world’s most important chokepoint has been converted from a military blockade into a toll road. The mechanism is precise. A tanker operator contacts intermediaries. The intermediaries negotiate with the IRGC. A fee is agreed, reportedly up to $2 million per voyage. Payment is made in cash, cryptocurrency, or barter. The vessel receives clearance. The IRGC hails the tanker on VHF radio, verifies its AIS transponder data, and grants passage. The tanker transits. It arrives. Roughly 89 to 90 vessels, including 16 oil tankers, successfully transited between March 1 and March 15 under some form of IRGC clearance according to Lloyd’s List Intelligence. Not all of them paid. Some were Iranian or allied ships. Some were Indian tankers that received diplomatic safe passage after government-to-government negotiations. Some were shadow fleet operators running dark with transponders off. But the Financial Times report confirms that at least one tanker operator paid the toll explicitly. The commercial precedent now exists. The $2 million sits on top of war-risk insurance that has surged to 3 to 5 percent of hull value where coverage exists at all. A VLCC valued at $120 million pays $3.6 to $6 million in war-risk premium for a seven-day single-voyage policy. Add the $2 million toll. Add the quadrupled charter rate of up to $800,000 per day. The total cost of moving a single cargo of crude through Hormuz now exceeds what it cost to move an entire fleet through the strait six months ago. Every dollar of that cost arrives at the consumer. The toll does not stay on the water. It enters the price of every barrel, every LNG cargo, every tonne of urea, every container of pharmaceuticals that the tanker carries. The $2 million is not a bribe. It is a tax levied by the IRGC on global commerce, collected at the narrowest point of the world’s most concentrated energy transit route, and passed through to four billion people downstream. The strategic innovation is that Iran has found a way to fund its war effort through the war itself. The IRGC closed the strait. The closure created scarcity. The scarcity created desperation. The desperation created willingness to pay. The $2 million per voyage funds the same provincial commands whose sealed packets created the closure. The feedback loop is self-financing: the blockade generates the revenue that sustains the blockade. The United States will frame this as state-sponsored extortion funding terrorism. The sanctions response is predictable: penalties on operators who pay, expanded designations on intermediaries, accelerated naval escorts under the six-allies pledge. But the enforcement faces a paradox. If the US sanctions every operator who pays the toll, it removes the only vessels currently moving oil through Hormuz. The molecules that are getting through, even at $2 million per transit, would stop entirely. The toll is extortion. The extortion is also the only functioning supply mechanism. The IRGC did not just close the strait. It reopened it selectively, on its terms, at its price. The blockade was the leverage. The toll is the monetisation. And the distinction between a military operation and a protection racket has collapsed into a radio frequency and a bank transfer. Full analysis: open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@Lab4IndyWales @Joe___Allen @ClwydEnComu alot of tall buildings in the Valleys (from when they were the bustling and rich heart of Wales) with half utilised 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors, and the geography of the Valleys obviously necessitates building up in a lot of cases, need to plan transit around housing &vice versa too

novel idea but why don’t the energy providers (who made estimated £30 billion in profit in 2024) take the hit on increase costs instead of consumers who have already been squeezed dry?

Energy companies should be the ones covering this - they make obscene profits off us already, we cant be squeezed any more. And we need a major transition to clean, renewable energy so these megalomaniacs' wars can't keep screwing us over STAT.
