Ed Miliband has been quiet while Keir Starmer takes the headlines, but this is what he comes back with? Banning tumble dryers, seriously? At a time when the economy is struggling and energy security is a real issue, this is the priority? Not maximising North Sea oil, not scaling small modular reactors from 3 to 20, but micromanaging household appliances. This is exactly the kind of small, performative policymaking that misses the bigger picture entirely.

‘A fair day's pay for a fair day's work.’ Prime Minister Keir Starmer says Labour has stood firm on the ‘side of working people’ and praises the Employment Rights Bill. 📺 Freeview 236, Sky 512, Virgin 604

Yes, he is our greatest PM and history will remember him as a world leader of class A substance.

The UK government now says they’re going to start “blocking the Sun.” Start. Like this is something new. Meanwhile, people have been looking up for years, watching the sky get carved into grids… thin white lines spreading, thickening, lingering… until daylight doesn’t look like daylight anymore. Just a dull, stained haze hanging over everything. And we’re supposed to believe this is the beginning? It already feels like something’s been done to the sky. Like the light itself has been altered — filtered, dimmed, tampered with in ways no one fully explains. But now it’s official language. Controlled. Sanitized. “Sunlight management.” “Climate intervention.” Nice words for something that sounds a lot darker when you really sit with it. Because once you accept that the sky can be engineered… that the light reaching the ground can be adjusted… You’re not just talking about weather anymore. You’re talking about control over the most basic thing we have — the sun above us. And the timing? Now they announce it. Out in the open. Calm. Casual. Like it’s just another policy rollout. Next, they’ll tell you they’re redefining what “natural” even means. And most people won’t even look up.

The NHS has ordered staff not to use the term “It’s raining cats & dogs” as it may offend foreigners. Tough If you don’t like it jog on is what I think The NHS needs to get back to concentrating on making people better & not being more concerned about offending people.
