The Prime Minister described yesterday's migration stats as "great news". In fact, the government's current immigration strategy is both economically damaging and politicallly self-defeating. But there is a better way. Me in @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/pol...

If Ben Habib can prove his allegations then the consequences for British democracy are very grave indeed and overshadow everything that has been happening in the Westminster Village in the past 48 hours. Unsurprisingly, none of the morning news bulletins have even mentioned this story.

Reform mobilising non-voters looks to be a big story from this year’s locals. As so often, non-voters are the “dark matter” of politics - rarely discussed but so numerous they even mobilising a small slice can have big effects. Particularly in low turnout local elections.

"There is little to no statistical relationship between Reform performance and Labour performance, but a very strong (negative) relationship between Labour and Green performance." @patrick-pme.bsky.social

It never ceases to amaze me how many election pundits don’t understand the dynamics of First Past the Post, and how vote-splitting works under the UK’s electoral system. John Curtice does. Listen to John Curtice.

All of these are true: British Jews should be able to live in peace without intimidation and violence. Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank and Israel should be able live in peace without state violence, settler pogroms or discriminatory laws. Attacks on British Jews do nothing to help Palestinians.

Hmmm - so tacking hard right on immigration led the Danish equivalent of Labour to lose the capital city for the first time in a century to a “Green-Left” party? And all the seats on London’s borough councils are up next May? Including the progressive packed ones held by Labour for generations?

10 years since the export meter was connected to our solar panels (Google Maps image below). In that time we have: Generated 92509 kWh - of which consumed 44150 kWh exported 48359 kWh We also imported 13116 kWh (no battery storage). So our total energy usage is 5727 kWh pa. #SolarPV; #Passivhaus

@estresidder.bsky.social I was wondering if you knew of anyone who has done an Enerphit project on a C19th Scottish stone walled house. We built a Passivhaus Plus new build 10 years ago but may now be taking on an older house but would want the comfort of a (near) Passivhaus home.
