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.

Reading Labour accused of misleading claim of £43 million cash boost from government The Labour Party in Reading has been accused of 'misleading the public' over a claimed £43m cash injection into the council from the government.

Reading Labour caught red-handed telling porkies. I'm shocked. Well, not that shocked TBH.

Keir Starmer did everything he could to be US poodle and his strategy has ended in total humiliation. Both him and Farage are puppets of a hostile foreign nation.

It's obvious that if someone is a bully - you don't just keep appeasing them.

Disastrous strategy by Labour.

Greens look set to clean up as Labour switchers move left Labour voters liked the insurgent party even before the arrival of their new leader. As local elections approach, Zack Polanski appears ready to break through in the areas Keir Starmer neglected

There was a stream of people who used to vote Labour now voting Green.

"It has now become a torrent."

British politics is a mess. Food, energy, housing are all too expensive. Major parties are all flogging the dead horse of trickle down. So I’m joining the Green Party. Britain needs an economy that works for workers, for small businesses, and future generations. @greenparty.org.uk

Emily Thornberry makes an incredibly patronising, smug video on Labour account on Instagram - even by her standards!

These Labour ministers with Reform- just can't seem to stop talking about the Green Party.

And it's just making membership rise & rise!

On Zack Polanskis magic money tree economic gravity simply doesn't exist.

All in one day:

Immigration Minister lied about me with a slur.

Wes Streeting then tried a different attack.

And the Evening Standard write yet another attack piece because I dare to say we need to tax the rich.

Want to help create our better future?

Another council meeting, heated courtesy of the hot air pumped out by the Tories
Reform fully backed the Tory white paper
Again proving there's nothing different about reform, it's just a more extreme version of the Tory Party, backed by the same billionaires working for the billionaires!

Labour really don't get it. The local Labour party in Reading have started putting litter picks and nature restoration on their leaflets, completely misunderstanding the threat.
