Rory should read planning rules on solar farms. It would assuage his concerns over agricultural land. Also golf courses take up more land than solar farms.

This Destination X show is 321 isn’t it? The clue bears no relation to the answer. Frustrating.

Can electric furnace steel make wind turbines? I like the link you make in the piece so that would be the clincher.

Is Trump the Greenest president ever?

Stopped global trade and killed the car industry.

Bloody hippy

Farming: if food security is the driver you get more bang for your buck with crops instead of meat. Better for climate too.

It isn’t true that Net Zero has de-industrialised the west is it? Thatcher hadn’t the faintest knowledge or interest in climate change.

The Net Zero economy is also growing three times faster than the general economy according to the CBI.

Ukraine is Europe!
We stand by Ukraine.

We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.

Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple.

They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.

This was a disgusting display by the soft, uninformed VP Vance trying to school Zelensky, the man who has led his country through the most surprisingly resilient and effective fight for sovereignty against a global superpower.

Every negative stereotype about America is confirmed in this exchange.

Opinion | Trump is emulating Putin and Xi. Watch it end in an β€˜own goal.’ The president’s approach to foreign policy helps Russia and China supersede America.

β€œAs Washington alienates its allies and squanders 80 years of international credibility, Trump is helping Russia and China achieve their explicit mission of replacing the United States as the world’s preeminent superpower”

Calling Zelensky a β€œDictator” must be where the line is drawn.

It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

Together with European Foreign Ministers, I spoke to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio after his talks in Riyadh.

Russia will try to divide us. Let’s not walk into their traps.

By working together with the US, we can achieve a just and lasting peace – on Ukraine’s terms.
