UK is approaching an energy milestone that would have seemed impossible during the Industrial Revolution #OffshoreWind has become one of Britain’s strongest energy advantages due to favorable coastal conditions. Massive offshore installations now generate electricity at utility scale #ActOnClimate

The reward for getting everything wrong and thus betraying your country, was a seat for life in the House of Lords, a daily stipend & legislative power (oh and a lifelong pension from the European Parliament) not to mention the security of never having to face the music.

The sun sets. But the battery doesn’t care anymore. Storage costs dropped 27% in one year. 24/7 solar is no longer a fantasy. It's becoming economics while renewables now compete with gas. The fossil fuel era didn’t end with solar panels. It ends with batteries. #Bettrification

So.. my little book ist aus dem Stand auf Nr 1 der Spiegel - Bestsellerliste gelandet. Ich glaub’s nicht. A heartfelt ‚Danke‘ ❤️ an alle die es schon haben und/oder gerade lesen. Damit hatte ich wirklich nicht gerechnet. Aber das Interesse am UK ist eben doch größer als viele so denken. 🙏🙏🙏

Climat : l’ONU adopte une résolution visant à renforcer la responsabilité des Etats

BBC's second top story at 6 o'clock was the Chancellor getting heckled by some shouty twat. Not even news. Let alone top news. Into the actual item, mentioned almost in passing, the fact gov't has frozen fuel duty. It is impossible to deny the bias. You have to REALLY not want to see it.

Astonishing.

Let it be clear: you are wanted here.

Five million quid, he says.

If your reward was going to be £5m, what lies would you have told to get Brexit over the line?

Turns out, schools are way cheaper than ballrooms...

We have now approved enough clean energy projects to power the equivalent of over 18 million homes across the UK. We are driving further and faster for clean homegrown power that we control to protect the British people and bring down bills for good. renews.biz/111634/uk-gr...

The saddest thing about people who have £18bn is that they spend their time and money on trying to get £19bn, as if it will make any difference to anything - least of all their lives.

No @zackpolanski.bsky.social do not do this; please do not do this - if this is true then you are or are becoming just like the rest of them.

BBC News now reporting as breaking news Nigel Farage being investigated over that £5m 'gift'. Gives 2 statements in defence of Farage, one from Farage, one from Reform. Nothing on who the donor is.

Everyone is rightly interested in Harborne’s monetary support for Nigel Farage. But GB News provides him with an annualised salary of over a million pounds a year, 500,000 shares and unaccounted for millions in terms of free political advertising for Farage’s Party

𝟏𝟎𝟎 𝖄𝖊𝖆𝖗𝖘 𝕬𝖌𝖔… The Eye delved into Christopher Harborne's background - his dual identity, his cryptocurrency connections, his enormous political donations - long before his undeclared £5 million personal gift to Nigel Farage. From the Private Eye archive. Issue 1511, December 2019.

My point is that security is plainly connected to his ”professional role”. Frankly any MP who gets given £5m would only NOT declare it, if it was dodgy.

Completely unacceptable from the Board of Deputies. This nakedly partisan hypocrisy does not represent me or many other British Jews. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Whether the money was for security or not, so what? Can’t see how it helps Farage to say it was.

Quite. One only ever gets to know a fraction of the real corruption. Most illegality remains undiscovered.

A wall of crypto money is powering Nigel Farage, both politically and personally. And much of the British media just shrugs app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/73421/...

Well exactly. Always struck me as incredibly stupid to pretend anything else. The last decade has been a decade of lies from Labour and the Tories - and surprise, the voters don’t trust them…what a mess.

Farage is a coward - and he wants Britain to be as weak and cowardly as he is.

I still feel deeply ashamed that Britain decided not to stand up for freedom and democracy in Europe - and that even now some parties promote the cowardice of departure from the Council of Europe/the Convention on Human Rights. We are stronger together; our fate is anyway inter-dependant.

“The countries that bought American for decades are now buying Ukrainian. The world produces fewer than 900 Patriot missiles a year, while Tehran can churn out about 10,000 Shaheds a month. A Ukrainian interceptor drone can stop a Shahed for around $10,000.” nypost.com/2026/05/09/o...

Truly historic & moving scenes from the inaugural session of the Hungarian Parliament. A children’s tambura band from a tiny village playing a folk song often described as the unofficial Roma anthem. MPs were tearing up & so were many more of us watching. After all those years of hate. 🎥 telex.hu

Plus, his need for security is plainly related to his “work”.

Have to say.. as red flags go, proposing to set up concentration camps and taking a £5M personal bribe would be the top two when deciding who NOT to vote for. It is genuinely insane and extremely troubling that Farage could still be electable despite that… or even because of it. WTAF, UK?

Brexit costs the UK between £180 billion and £240 billion per year, according to a huge study from Stamford / Kings. This is a bargain.

The world’s ten richest people — all Americans — saw their collective net worth increase by $260 billion in April. These ten people are now worth a combined $2.7 trillion. The bottom 50% of U.S. households, 66 million in total, is worth $4.3 trillion. Wondering if inequality is out of control?

Okay, this is a new chapter of insane. The US (that’s us) is paying companies to walk away from clean energy wind projects. 900 MILLION…just to walk away. This is after we’ve paid another company 1 BILLION to also walk away. In the meantime, consumers costs continue to rise.

This is truly mind-blowing: Norway has gone from near-zero sales of non‑emitting battery electric vehicles to now close to 100% of all new passenger car sales - achieved in about 13 years. More in my next substack newsletter. Sign up here: substack.com/@janrosenow

I’ve been hearing so much anger and disappointment from frontline workers about the BBC investigation into fraudulent asylum claims. One of the most damning responses has come from one of the experts they interviewed, solicitor Ana Gonzalez. It’s really worth reading her response in full:

This is really damning. The whole report was so shocking to anyone who knows anything about the asylum system.
