Clean air is sharia. Clear lungs are Islamofascism. Congestion charges mean rule by mullahs. It's all very clear.

In England a driver can be speeding, using cannabis and a phone, overtake another vehicle, mount the pavement outside a school playground and kill a 4-year-old girl while uninsured — and receive just 3 years 10 months for causing death by careless driving.

Like you can’t vote for this, it’s complete nonsense. We’re already building a catastrophically small number of houses in London and now Newham wants to basically make private development impossible. FFS.

A lot of the American & Israeli war on Iran has a naval dimension. UK assets, trade, Iranian capability, US operations… As a former Royal Navy lieutenant who was twice deployed to the Gulf, with some minor experience of Iranian naval forces, I have some thoughts that may be useful for Bluesky 1/?

All of the big protests over Israel stopped as soon as Trump got in office and never started again even after he bombed Iran twice in cooperation with them. This is plainly visible to anyone with fucking eyes but you'll still get yelled at for saying it.

But fundamentally, this shows why first past the post isn’t fit for purpose. If the government doesn’t introduce proportional voting, a far right party could win the next general election outright on a minority of the vote.

I think the next Labour leader is similar to what the Democrats need in the US: Someone who can perform anger at the system in a non-specific I-hate-politicians way, but then really stick it to the system by, er, providing competent, technocratic economic management.

Wikipedia lists four windfarms coming online this year in the UK. RWE expects Sofia (1.4GW) to begin operation 2H 26. DB A (1.2GW) is partially operating already. East Anglia 3 (1.4GW) started offshore work last year. DBB (1.2GW) seems to be coming along also. That’s c5.2GW !

What's telling about this reactionary project is the cropping to ensure that no photo includes the staggering collection of skyscrapers which surrounds the site. Which tells us it is aimed solely at people who've never been there, a cousin to the "You get stabbed in London" posting of Reform-ites.

Gosh the strike price for onshore wind in CFD 7a is only £72.24. Quite a lot lower than the c£90 for offshore. We should probably do a lot more onshore. Also Ed Miliband is getting it done!

Greens are the anti environment party. Pretty much all their voters are much closer to ‘conservationist’ than environmentalist. Which is why they constantly have green leaders campaigning against solar farms and new energy infrastructure like pylons, or insisting we should bury all cables etc.

Starmer could take off the table the possibility of a Reform government by doing electoral reform. He won’t because he believes it’s just Labour can rule us all with 32% of the vote.

The authors "estimate that by 2025, the Brexit process had reduced UK GDP per capita by 6 to 8 percent, investment by 12 to 18 percent, employment by 3 to 4 percent, and productivity by 3 to 4 percent. These effects grew gradually over time."

My Trade Secrets today, in which it's fair to say I go off on one. The Labour party is famously "a moral crusade or it is nothing". On aid, immigration and trade they're going for the latter option, with betrayals of principle both repugnant and pointless. 1/n
