Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.

This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.

44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

Is it thought???

ok fine: I think Lily Allen's latest album was both musically incredibly uninteresting and also just over the top given that guy just seems....twattish, I don't think you get to air your dirty laundry in public to that extent if your husband was mostly just.....a twat

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

And with a Darth Vader barnet.

Terry Scott, a middle-aged man in a very 1970s jacket, gestures at a gap over a river, with a rueful expression on his face

Did you know, 52 years ago tonight, Terry Scott drove off the end of the Tees Transporter Bridge? 🧵

Britain leads the world in offshore wind generation, in part because of experience developing offshore oil and gas extraction in the North Sea. If this isn't energy resilience- and a great British success story for the flag enthusiasts- then what is?

Oh well, it wasn't to be.

Evolution of Viktor Orbán's government propaganda:

2017: “Let’s not let Soros have the last laugh!”

2026: “Let’s not let Zelensky have the last laugh!”

By the way, can anyone guess the common feature that makes both such convenient scapegoats for a far-right government?

"We called London a war zone and moved to Dubai by mistake"

Maybe they'll name the next nuclear sub built Jerusalem?

Probs meant to write SPRUCY.

The concept of codified, universal human rights was the response to a war in which tens of millions of people had to die to repress the idea that people are fundamentally unequal, and most of them are inferior, and available to be abused.

If I see a better joke than this today I shall consider myself extremely lucky because this is *wonderful*.

KCC Cllr Stuart Jeffery (Green) said: “This move by Reform run Kent County Council not only demonstrates their fears about their own budget, it shows utter contempt for the history of our great county and comes just a few days after they threatened to pull funding from the Turner Gallery."

Boo!!! I've got NHS ones, can't take calls/listen to music but can adjust volume levels using phone.

I'm not having it. The Netherlands have never used this excuse. I think they need to up their W.O. game before we consider copying them on immigration.

Also Denmark is shit at the Winter Olympics, how is that even possible?

a less affluent suburb of manchester just elected a plumber & those who insist we listen to the working class are furious

turns out it doesn't count if you're pro-trans & pro-immigration

A Red Kite from underneath holding flesh in its talons and looking down at it

Look at the face! 😍
I was thrilled to get this shot of a gorgeous Red Kite today near Steart Marshes in Somerset! 😀
It was holding the flesh of some creature in its talons and was eating it as it flew right over my head! 😮
Zoom in and just Look at the face! 😍🐦

So far Trump has claimed that Iran, China, Venezuela, Dominion voting machines, and the Biden campaign interfered or rigged the 2020 election.

We’re like two weeks away from him claiming the Hamburgler was involved.

Nick Cohen's article about the shamelessness of Zack Polanski

This might surprise people who aren't from the UK, but over here there's a publication that, in order to write for it, you have to be a sex offender.

There is always a tweet.

Using boilerplate messaging that would use for George Galloway about Hannah Spencer personally & how she will approach being an MP is tin eared, graceless, implausible to the immediate audience (Labour MPs) and esp the broader one (Labour waverers/switchers) underpinned by the wrong strategy
