Could MattGPT face scrutiny under the UK’s ‘proceeds of crime’ law? The British right is awash with money from Orban thinktanks…which Hungary’s new PM says was stolen. Brilliant deep dive into Orban’s vast UK network by @McCoolingtons for @thenerve_news. 👏

The USA produces its own oil and gas but it is still impacted by the jump in global prices. Farage hasn't got a Scooby-Doo how the real world works.

Benefits aren't too high. UK pensions. The worst in the world.

Newsgroup published their annual accounts on Tues. What's interesting about that? They suffered a pre-tax loss of £53m So here's a question for the intellectually curious: Why does Rupert Murdoch keep this failing biz running? Why does Paul Marshall keep GB News going?

This week I have heard the long debunked argument: “what if the wind doesn’t blow and the sun doesn’t shine” at dozen times by intelligent people who must know they are spreading a lie, Annabelle Denham on Question Time for one. Why? Here is a rebuttal that needs repeating - continually.

Mail is running a poll on whether the UK should rejoin the EU. Takes seconds to vote and it's going hilariously well... www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented. They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed. That energy is all around us. And it does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

BBC News leading all its bulletins on demands by former Government advisor Lord Robertson for more defence spending, without at any point mentioning his current paid senior role for US defence lobbyists

I also missed this. My apologies. Follow Adam!

Found it. There isn't any analysis of drilling's impact on prices. institute.global/insights/cli...

No wonder Wes Streeting has so many private healthcare donors...

With it revealed yesterday that Reforms Tice failed to pay £91,000 in tax now’s a good time to highlight this👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 I’m sick to death of Reform’s gross hypocrisy, and that MSM studiously ignores it❗️🤬 We need more journalists like @adambienkov.bsky.social who revealed £91K & @bylinetimes.bsky.social👏🏼👏🏼

France is switching from Microsoft to Linux "We must become less reliant on American tools and regain control of our digital destiny. We can no longer accept that our data, our infrastructure, our strategic decisions depend on solutions whose rules, pricing, evolution, and risks we do not control."

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76... I would urge every decent person to sign this. One of the challenges we face to our democracy is our absolutely disgusting media and the way it is funded by selfish billionaires who don’t even live in this country.

Misleading ? An Oil Tanker Can Be Used MANY Times To Haul Oil, But The Point Is That Solar Panels Are A Much Cleaner,Environmentally Friendly,Long Term ANSWER To The Use Of Destructive Fossil ⛽️ Fuels.......

In France, legislation came into effect recently for all car parks that have over 80 spaces to be covered with solar panels. Estimated to add around 11GW of renewable energy capacity to the national grid. Why not do likewise in Scotland? Braehead, Silverburn, Glasgow Fort etc.

You'd think this whole bizarre affair would be a far bigger story

BOOM! South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less. THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis. #EnergyRevolution

Britain’s shadow workforce is paid as little as 65p an hour. Who cares for the carers? @francesryan.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Exactly. 20 years ago the BBC was probably one of the most trusted news sources in the entire world that ever existed. It still had its biases. But it was mostly fact-based and science-based. Today the BBC is filled with propaganda.

The BBC is being eviscerated. I used to work in BBC News, knew a bit about the pressure Rupert Murdoch was exerting to defund the BBC. We talked about how people loved and trusted it, so it would be safe. Like the NHS, the powers-that-be set out to stop the love, stop the trust, sell it off.

This is not normal. We should all be worried. Voters in the upcoming local elections need to ask themselves one thing: what is it about Farage that attracts criminals and billionaires who are ‘depressed about the state of Britain’ and want to help, until it’s time to pay tax in this country?

So when Reform accepts £4 million from this man, are they sure of where this money actually coming from? A man convicted of running a platform deliberately designed to hide the origins of money is now pouring cash into British politics. Red flag, red flag, red flag.

Ben Delo isn't just a "billionaire expat" with a soft spot for Farage. In 2022 he was found guilty of serious criminal charges in the United States. American prosecutors said he deliberately built a dodgy crypto platform designed to help people hide dirty money. He admitted as much in court.

The Telegraph just gave a convicted criminal a two-page spread to explain why he's pumping £4 million into Reform UK. They tucked his criminal record away in the small print. So as a former financial crime specialist I’ll do their job for them👇

We are current;ly 77.5% powered by renewables, a pitiful 5% powered by burning imported methane gas, and yet the effing price is set by the effing cost of effing gas, I am effing fuming! Thanks grid.iamkate.com

The amazing, letter-perfect performance of NASA this week is a ferocious rebuke to the right-wing fools who constantly tell us that for-profit businesses always do a job better than the government.

UK's shadow workforce is paid as little as 65p an hour. Who cares for the carers? 6m unpaid carers provide vital support to sick, disabled, old. 1.4m receive Carer's Allowance of £86.45 a week. More likely to be prosecuted for tiny errors in claims. Govts don't value humanity.

Having spent almost all my professional career in the City, it has never ceased to amaze me not just how much finance extracts from the system but also how many people really believe they are creating not extracting value.

A gem from one of my heroes, and an absolute genius, Spike. 🐢💨

This is Belgium’s Pairi Daiza, theworld’s largest solar-covered car park: • 93,000 panels • 40MW • 39,899 MWh/yr • 200,000 m² Proving: you can scale solar without new land, co-locate generation + parking + EV charging, and turn passive infrastructure into energy assets. ⚡ #Bettrification

For the first time ever, heat pumps outsold gas boilers in Germany in 2025. 48% of all new heating systems installed last year were heat pumps. Gas fell to just 39%. A decade ago, heat pumps had a 7% market share. The transformation has been remarkable.

Nations are now waking up to the fact that electrification = national security. Indonesia is the world's fourth most populous country.

Ten announcements and achievements by our Labour Government pretty much ignored by UK media who find it impossible to tell us all the good news. Share far and wide. #DoingTheMediasJob #LaboursAvhievements #FixingBritain

☀️ Big news for UK households! Low-cost plug-in solar panels under 800 W will soon be legal, no qualified electrician needed. Expected on sale by summer 2026, these portable systems could make home solar more accessible than ever and help grow the UK’s renewable energy footprint. 🌱⚡

Clean, safe, cheap, renewable energy that you don't have to fight deadly wars or destroy the environment to get. Good for wildlife, too, when done properly. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

UK GOVERNMENT APPROVES 800MW SPRINGWELL SOLAR FARM, THE LARGEST SOLAR POWER PLANT IN THE COUNTRY.

Scotland temporarily ran entirely on wind power as turbines generated over 200 percent of national electricity demand.

Why campaigners want a referendum on water ownership After years of sewage scandals and complaints about water companies, there are calls for the industry in England and Wales to be re-nationalised. Read our latest newsletter here:

There are some major wind, solar and battery projects in the NSIP pipeline for the next few years, with consents already. My concern is if they don't get built out fast enough. Is there a mechanism for GB Energy to step in on stalled projects to ensure we meet targets?

We must get off the fossil fuel rollercoaster. I have lived through 3 oil shocks in my life; these cause recessions, inflation & huge instability across the globe. This week I've written for the Hounslow Herald about why we need to get off this rollercoaster. hounslowherald.com/ruth-cadbury...

The finance ministers of Austria, Germany, Italy, Portugal and Spain have called for windfall taxes on the big oil companies raking in superprofits from the energy crisis. Over to you, Ms Reeves.

Tesco could pay every worker an extra £10,000 and still make a profit. British Gas could pay every worker an extra £35,000 and still make a profit. Shell could pay every worker an extra £300,000 and still make a profit. It is the billionaires who are ripping you off.

We hear a lot about the social care crisis in Britain, but often as an abstract problem. I wanted to bring this to life by showing who wins and loses when care homes become an asset class
