We noted a marked increase in concern over immigration being out of control when in Brixham yesterday...even from non-Reform supporting people, many of whom were very alarmed that the situation was fuelling support for Reform UK.

Β£22bn of water bill hikes will go to private investors - not cleaning up rivers Investors will see their returns from water bills double over the next five years

Imagine borrowing someone’s credit card, spending it on yourself.. then charging them for the privilege.

That’s the scam of privatised water.

Households foot the bill for upgrades, but Β£22bn will go to investors and creditors.

I’m sorry but I really have to stand up for myself and independent media here. Everyone is crediting Ken Delanian for the Maxwell sex offender waiver story, but I was hours ahead of him. Hours. Independent media is important.

You know what does make me 'proud' about Britain? Our creative arts scene. You know what successive governments have tried to remove working class access to? Our creative arts scene.

The Renewable Illusion: Why Fossil Fuels Keep Winning Global renewables hit records in 2024, but fossil fuel use still rises. Here’s why solar’s surge isn’t enoughβ€”and what the latest energy data really shows.

1. This is something I've been saying for 25 years, but it's hard to get many people to listen. What counts is not the new energy sources you add, but the old ones you retire. Unfortunately it's politically easier to build renewables than to shutter fossil fuels.🧡
