There is another country. Latest post on my Brexit & Brexitism Blog discussing the thuggery, sanctimony and hypocrisy of the last fortnight, and how Starmer should lead in articulating an alternative version of patriotism to that of the far-right: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2025/09/ther...

At first sight I thought this post began with the word ‘Starmer’

Increasingly clear that cheap solar plus storage, then electrify everything, is the way forward. Then - what’s a serious assessment of storage vs nuclear for baseload in diferent geographical conditions?

@chrisbjohns.bsky.social @jimpowerecon1962.bsky.social You can keep your Nobels and Pulitzers, I've been quoted on The Other Hand! My work here is done and I can die happy "but not yet". (Strangely, my old parish church in Shepherd's Bush was St Augustine's.)

A growing number of Labour voices now demanding Keir Starmer start taking on Elon Musk and the far-right. Here Labour MP Noah Law writes for Byline Times on why it's time for the Government to quit Twitter and start treating Musk as the 'foreign extremist' he now is bylinetimes.com/2025/09/15/m...

The primary aim must be getting the govt off X. This offers the possibility of a cascade effect taking journalists etc off it. We need to seperate the national debate from the extremism engine.

How can they say they have removed the quotes when there are two of them in the headline???

British NIMBYism is truly a sight to behold. “We are rejecting this solar farm, because one time I saw an electric vehicle on fire, which reminded me that decades ago a coal mining disaster killed lots of children”.

For journalists who have lost the art of questioning. Farage convinced us that the EU was the problem. And leaving the EU would solve all problems. Leaving the EU then fucked the U.K. Farage now says immigration is the problem. And that ending it will solve all problems. Anyone see the connection?
