Full speed ahead on SPS alignment - UK in a changing Europe Joël Reland unpacks why the UK government's announcement of the EU legislation 'in scope' for the UK-EU 'SPS' deal is significant, both for UK businesses and politically.

"The statement sends an interesting political signal about just how keen the UK government is to get the SPS deal done."

There are some dramatic numbers floating around that claim to be a YouGov Senedd poll, they're actually a Wales' subset of a Westminster poll.

The sample size is 100 so the error margin is through the roof.

Ignore it.

The only way to protect ourselves from oil and gas price spikes is to get off the rollercoaster of fossil fuel markets and onto clean homegrown power.

That’s the mission of this Labour Government.

The US is by far the world's largest gas power producer, generating 3x as much as Russia in 2024.

15 countries - predominantly in the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia - generate more than 80% of their electricity from gas.

Our electoral system has led to voters up and down the country being ignored for decades - and now the system is breaking.

NEW | Renewables in Türkiye CUT electricity bills by 9% in 2025, roughly equivalent to one month’s bill.

That means households paid for only 11 months of electricity instead of 12 over the year.

Hereditary peers to be removed from Lords as bill passes The bill abolishes the 92 seats reserved for peers who inherit their titles through their families.

Looks like the Tories are being offered 15 life peers¹ as part of the compromise; I am guessing the crossbenchers are being offered a similar proportion (10); which means the number of peers is decreasing by about 64.

FACTS:

Net Zero barely nudges your bill.

Fossil‑fuel wars send it through the roof.

So when Farage and his ilk slags off renewables while fanning conflict, remember who actually hikes your costs.

Who’s still advertising on GB News? – Stop Funding Hate

CONFIRMED: Verisure have pulled their ads from GB News and excluded the channel from their ad strategy 👏

A huge thanks to everyone who urged Verisure to #StopFundingHate! ❤️‍🔥

🔔 Verisure’s ad placement was unintentional and they swiftly withdrew their ads as soon as it was brought to their attention.

Difficult times call for cooperation and dialogue. But our voting system keeps giving total power to parties that only a fraction of voters support.

On 30% of the vote, one party could win full control of our economy, health, foreign policy and defence.

We can't take that risk.

Clinical policy for prescribing of masculinising and feminising hormones for children and adolescents who have gender incongruence or dysphoria
Overview

NHS England is committed to working with a wide range of patients, patient groups and other stakeholders in developing the services it commissions.

In line with NHS England’s published methods for the formation of national clinical commissioning policy, public consultation presents an important step in the process. It allows us to test and get feedback on proposals; check that draft policies are well evidenced; ensure potential impacts have been fully captured, are clearly understood and that appropriate mitigations have been identified; and, consider alternatives before final decisions are taken. screenshot of consultation detail details, with the following sentence highlighted:

“In 2025 a Policy Working Group was formed by NHS England to establish the evidence base for MAF Hormones.”

As part of the response to the Cass Report, published in 2024, and alongside the immediate further restrictions put in place, NHS England committed as  a priority action to conduct a full review of the MAF Hormones policy through a process of updated evidence review and public consultation.

In 2025 a Policy Working Group was formed by NHS England to establish the evidence base for MAF Hormones. NHS England commissioned a third party to undertake a further independent evidence review of published evidence including research that had been published since NICE’s previous review of the evidence in 2021.

Question to hive mind: Does anyone have access to any information about which people/clinicians were part of

i) this NHS England Specialised Commissioning group: www.engage.england.nhs.uk/consultation...

ii) This “Policy Working Group”

It’s almost like the UK’s right-wing press doesn’t actually reflect public opinion but instead the fevered imaginations of a very small group of sociopaths.

Just been looking at the “evidence” used for the Streeting Reviews to ban hormones. It is unbelievably thin.

Non-existent for non-binary kids, almost non-existent for trans girls, and only gets into double figures for trans guys.

These are not “reviews” they are fictions.

Like the Cass Review.
