To those saying it will take years to get new oil & gas out the North Sea… It won’t. 👉 Jackdaw - can be producing gas in 3 months. 👉 Rosebank - can be producing oil in the autumn. Miliband just needs to approve them. Everyday he waits, the further away this supply gets.

Please share this far a wide.A voluntary group trying to collect data that the NHS wouldn’t. It would have been so easy for NHS to access all the patients but for some reason they didn’t want to know.

The usual AI fake news. Yes, there was a fire, some internal damage done, no external — and nothing like this CGI nonsense.

@stormofquiet @IanSlaterPhoto1 @sospainter @LizziejackLiz @katcariad @MattBombHead @BrydonN2 @ZenMezzer @RobDebenham Nope. I’m not a fan of mushy anything

You literally cannot make this up. The Prime Minister's Chief of Staff had his phone "stolen" with all his messages to Lord Mandelson, and conveniently there is ZERO backup. They are treating the public like absolute fools.

Criminally Negligent. Andrew Neil's Words. Britain's Reality. Andrew Neil does not use language carelessly. Writing in the Daily Mail this morning, he describes Britain as stuck in an energy emergency with an oil and gas policy bordering on the criminally negligent, delivered by a bunch of clueless inadequates at the tiller. He is not reaching for effect. He is delivering a verdict. And the evidence he marshals is unanswerable. The Strait of Hormuz has been closed for the first time in history. Oil is heading toward two hundred dollars a barrel. Britain is facing the worst energy crisis since the Yom Kippur War of 1973. The International Energy Agency has described the supply disruption as the largest in history. And the government overseeing this catastrophe has spent the past year doing everything in its power to ensure Britain would be maximally exposed when it arrived. It closed North Sea oil and gas production. It borrowed against already strained public finances. It built an economic strategy on OBR forecasts that the energy crisis has already rendered obsolete. And it put the man most responsible for Britain's energy vulnerability, Ed Miliband, in charge of the response. The Miliband contradiction has been hiding in plain sight for months. He stood at the despatch box during the energy debate last year and warned that Britain was a price taker not a price maker in international fossil fuel markets, leaving it exposed to their volatility. He was right. He was also the man who ensured that exposure would be as severe as possible by closing down the domestic production that could have cushioned the blow. The North Sea fields that could have been producing. The coal beds that remain untouched. The nuclear capacity that was decommissioned in pursuit of net zero targets that now look like a luxury policy designed for a world that no longer exists. Miliband diagnosed the disease and administered the poison. Rachel Reeves now faces the consequences. The fiscal headroom she has been defending against every request for defence spending, every demand from the Treasury and every warning from military chiefs, is being wiped out not by defence costs alone but by the energy price shock her own government's choices made inevitable. Her foundations, as Neil puts it, are built on quicksand. The borrowing costs are rising at the fastest pace since the Liz Truss mini-budget. Foreign creditors are watching. The bond markets are watching. And the Chancellor is discovering that the numbers she has been citing as proof of fiscal responsibility were always dependent on a stable world that this government's foreign policy paralysis helped to destabilise. Neil makes one observation that connects the economic catastrophe to the political one with surgical precision. A stronger Prime Minister would have fired Miliband. He is right. The man who led the Cabinet revolt against supporting America, who blocked the use of Diego Garcia, who has spent a year dismantling Britain's energy independence and who stood at the despatch box admitting British households would pay the price, is still in his post. Still in the Cabinet. Still in the room. The reason Starmer has not fired him is the same reason he needed a drone on his own runway before he would act, the same reason he consulted his team on minesweepers and the same reason Britain is now a diminished, exposed and strategically paralysed country being described in its own press as a nation of clueless inadequates. He cannot afford to. The coalition that put him in power will not allow it. And so the inadequates remain at the tiller while Britain heads for the rocks. "Miliband diagnosed the disease and administered the poison. [...]. Rachel Reeves now faces the consequences."

Things scientists have blamed for climate change since 2020: - Beef - Dairy - Lamb - Wool production - Cheese - Leather - Burping cows - Sheep on hillsides - The British uplands generally Things scientists have not been given equivalent grant funding to investigate: - 100 companies producing 71% of global emissions - Aviation doubling since 1990 - Container shipping running on bunker fuel - Data centres consuming more electricity than entire countries - Fast fashion producing 10% of all carbon emissions annually - $13 trillion in annual fossil fuel subsidies Gerald's methane budget for the year: about 100kg. Estimated annual emissions of a single superyacht: 7,000 tonnes. One of these has a lobby group. Spoiler: it's not Gerald.

"Shocking" in the same way the monthly financial data is "unexpected"

@lukejcr Oh no, we could have a healthcare system like most of western Europe and Australia

A reminder that @whjm didn't need the Supreme Court to know what a woman is. But the BBC did. thetimes.com/uk/society/art…

@iCodAgain Same, I hate it

People really love #Amandaland and they're always telling me how much I'd love it. I think it's shit.

RIP to Jenni Murray who dared to try to bring a discussion about how women’s rights were being impacted by the trans lobby to a BBC show she hosted called Women’s Hour. A brave journalist.

@peasbloss 😬🤣

@LaraInTheMiddle She certainly took her own advice this morning! 😂
