The most powerful military in the world combined with most powerful military in the middle east - are a Goliath to Iran’s David. And true to biblical form, Goliath gets his butt kicked.

Interesting fact here - Telegraph says Jackdaw could produce 6% of our future gas supply, Uplift say 2% of our needs - same number presented differently? UK produces 30% of its own gas needs (consumption) - 2% of what we need is 6% of our own supply (production)…….lies, damn lies and statistics…..

Is this a first for Reform, sacking one of their (many) bad eggs…..? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Dusting off the Energy Prices Act 2022...:)

Trump claims to be in control of this war and when it ends, Netanyahu may think that he is. But the reality is that Iran is in control.

Kemi Badenoch abandons her own baby (the carbon trading scheme she introduced) in her latest attempt to breathe some life into the corpse of her party - under her leadership. And instead wants to focus on potholes - a less useful Tory legacy. Bit of a jumble sale, policy and message wise.

Farage is number one - he’s unmatched in…. side hustle earnings. Figures for the last three months show Farage beats all comers with his shameless Cameo appearances - where he says anything for cash.

Or the government could give actual, science based - food advice. And clamp down on Big Food, the companies that pump modern food full of salt, fat and sugar - which causes so much harm - and is addictive. Tackle the cause not the symptom, far more effective and cost effective.

Another fossil fuelled energy crisis is underway. The last time it happened the Conservatives' response was hugely expensive, and badly targeted. Labour has a chance to do this differently. We need to tackle the root causes not the symptoms. We need reform of the energy market.

The IMF see it - our reliance on gas is our problem - not just that we use it for making power though, that we allow the price of gas to set the price of the wind and sun here in Britain. www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

The murders in Palestine continue. Israel is a terrorist state. When will Europe take action. Sanctions; trade, military and cultural.

We need to finish the job the Tories started and properly control our own energy prices. Got into that with Radio Scotland this morning.

A blast from the past, the height of the last energy crisis, just three years ago. Fabulous piece of legislation, when you look at what it gives government the power to do. www.addleshawgoddard.com/en/insights/...

VAT should not be on our energy bills - 5m Brits live in energy poverty, this is one of the easiest things the government could change - and quickest.

Thanks to the Observer for correcting their mistake - which was to rely on reporting from the Guardian..:)

Spain continues to lead the way - when it comes to standing up to the US and Israel in their illegal war on Iran and before that, Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine. If we had more leaders like this in Europe, the world would be a better place. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Farage likes to mimic Trump, in his language, in his policies, in his general disregard for facts. Seems only right then to present a new Top Trumps game - based on the the five tribes of Reform. Check out the Reform edition of Babelfish here: babelfish.news

Interesting new evidence of the harm of processed (aka fast) food...

Wealthy person calling for a wealth tax, political donor calling for a ban on donations, eco guy calling out heat pumps - not contradictions - altruism.

This article is chock full of hypocrisy - pointing the finger at chicken farming in Asia while banging on about higher welfare standards here and the idea that ’they’ focus on efficiency over there while ‘we’ focus on welfare.

I’ve been calling for VAT to come off energy bills for a while now, nice in a way, to be joined by Reform and the Tories…..it makes no sense to add a luxury tax to an essential that millions of people struggle to pay for - while airline tickets are VAT free.

Right wing commentators lament the decline of jobs in oil and gas - which are quite natural as we run out of the stuff (just 10% left) - they miss this, a near 30% growth in green jobs in the last decade - and the Green Economy outgrowing the old economy year on year. buff.ly/CEWtLIu

Chock full of common sense and facts this article - heat pump selling energy companies are gaslighting us. www.independent.co.uk/voices/heat-...

Which of these three looks most synthetic? www.ctvnews.ca/world/articl...

Money grubbing tax exile shows lifelong fans what loyalty means to him - sweet FA. www.theguardian.com/football/202....

I actually disagree. I’m a fan of net zero of course and it’s good to hear the Climate Change Committee say we are on target…though I think there are questionable assumptions around the bigger later years cuts forecast, reliance on dodgy tech like carbon capture and storage. buff.ly/pyeMN27

This headline is a problem. Iran is surely worst affected, does it's 90million population make too small to be 'major'. Or is it overlooked for other reasons? news.sky.com/story/uk-fac...

A good example of how a lie travels round the world, before the truth gets out of bed.  The Guardian published a falsehood several months ago, claiming I supported drilling in the North Sea, a terribly lazy piece of journalism by Jillian Ambrose.

The real threat to the West appears to be the West - in the form of Trump the madman and our desperately deep inconsistency, hypocrisy even - when applying what we call international law one minute - then disregarding it for allies the next. buff.ly/7ADBd33

Trail hunting is set to be banned in England and Wales. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Seems a shame, at the time it was a very sensible decision to pause these un necessary, un productive, counter productive arrests. Political pressure? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Trail hunting set to be banned. www.gov.uk/government/n...

We've been saying this for months, net zero is the next Brexit, so very obviously - it's Nexit, Farage's next trick, our exit from net zero. Check the latest edition of Babelfish here: www.babelfish.news/reform-needs...

Funny, we're busy arguing for action to bring bills down in this crisis. Octopus seem focussed on themselves. Smug in a crisis, what crisis? Ours sales are up.... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Right move and quickly done. I’d go further and ban all donations - clean up our politics actually and visibly.

What are we waiting for? Well first question is what were the Tories waiting for - Boris Johnson first promised this in 2021, Rishi Sunak fumbled it in 2023 - come on Labour, just get on with it. www.edie.net/chocolate-in...

Best thing we can do is end factory farming - but next best thing is defo to end the genetic modification of animals for factory farming - ban the Frankenchicken..:) Is that what the F in KFC stands for? Maybe it should. actnow.thehumaneleague.org.uk/page/173985/...

Mel Stride doesn’t live in the real world. He dodges the first point put to him, that more drilling in the north sea can’t help us this winter or even next - because it could take around five years to get anything new out.

The Capitalists are squeaking. Trump’s war on Iran threatens profits. BlackRock manages $14 Trillion of assets btw (roughly £10 Trillion) - the UK Economy is a £3 Trillion enterprise. How and when did private money become so big and powerful. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Kemi Badenoch displays her total lack of understanding of the energy sector. She argues for more drilling in the North Sea to protect us from this energy crisis - seemingly oblivious to two very important facts. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03...

Banning Crypto donations is an essential move to protect our democracy from malign foreign interests - we have laws which prevent foreign donations which Crypto drives a horse and cart through. buff.ly/rsNwp5Y

@babelfishnews.bsky.social Labour need to speed up reform or risk losing voters to Reform. Frustration, inequality and slow change are driving support of Farage and co. www.babelfish.news/reform-needs...

This won't be the last energy crisis of this decade; we will have more. If we sort out the market now, we can insulate ourselves…and make our bills more affordable and stable. news.sky.com/story/ed-mil...

We are here to talk about this. BabelFish comes out today. Read all about it here: www.babelfish.news/reform-needs...

There's a lot to say about Reform. A lot of gaps to talk about. Like the gap between what they say and what they do. Our new 16 pager shows it. Read all about it at: www.babelfish.news/reform-needs...
