Britainโ€™s net zero economy is booming, CBI says Green sector growing at triple the rate of the UK economy, providing high-wage jobs and increasing energy security

Reform MP and climate science denier Richard Tice says "it is an absolute outrage what the madness of net stupid zero is doing to our county." The net zero economy is growing 3x faster than the wider economy and employs 12,500 in Lincolnshire alone.

For the love of all that is good in this world do NOT buy books from Amazon. Cancel your Amazon accounts.
Go to the Library (in person or online ebooks!) and support local bookstores instead. Please #BookSky donโ€™t be ambivalent

The media are confused, reeling - understandably. They havenโ€™t realised these inconsistencies arise because a key driver besides the venal and self interest, is to do whatever and precisely winds up the liberal majority. And we commentators are still feeding that. We havenโ€™t adapted.

I'm not sure this completely excuses it, but the Beeb have been massively defunded for the last 15-20 years.
