The solution is right above us. Solar panels on existing buildings, car parks, and along highways generate clean power without sacrificing farmland or wild spaces. Let's use our built world first.

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Brexit is still severely damaging Britain. We must rejoin our neighbours and most important trading partners, and get rid of the Brexit red tape. Brexit red tape is utterly destroying the British economy.
