Heating oil prices have more than doubled in the UK since war broke out: that’s 4.5m people living off gas grid, no they haven’t all got Agas, and in places like Cumbria and Scottish islands that’s a lot of anxious pensioners. (Difference with post-Ukraine is oil as well as gas spiking this time)

Today we launch our plan for Wales, putting behind us the dark days when Nathan Gill, the Leader of Reform in Wales, took bribes to do the bidding of foreigners.
In other news, we have just had another Β£3million donation from a crypto investor who lives in Thailand...

Can someone remind me again how many pay rises MPs have had in the past 15 years? 12? 13? Meanwhile, look at this (from the Nuffield Trust: www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/news-item/ho...)

On the one hand, a clearly deranged lunatic in the White House starting a dangerous illegal war on Iran with already-serious repercussions for the region and world...

Or having a pop at Keir Starmer.

You just knew which side the Right would come down on.

A government’s overriding duty, said Spain’s Prime Minister, Pedro SΓ‘nchez, was to protect and improve the lives of its citizens, not manipulate or profit from global conflicts.

Β‘Bravo, SeΓ±or SΓ‘nchez!

Macron’s nuclear weapons offer to Europe: Gaullist policy, updated for a more unstable world β€˜Dissuasion avancΓ©e’ is intended to give France’s partners a greater stake in nuclear deterrence, retain French command and control – and prevent proliferation.

For decades, France has maintained a ceiling on its nuclear weapons and emphasized transparency. Emmanuel Macron has indicated this will now change β€” France's arsenal will now grow in secret. https://bit.ly/4uc0BAQ
