UK must double down on renewables as wars drive up energy costs, experts say

Has "Operation Maritime Security Belt 2026" been suspended? I've read that the Chinese have withdrawn to help avoid any unfortunate incidents to get amplified, but unsure if the Russians are still there. Are the Russian naval vessels still in the Gulf region ?

In the longer term it will make zip difference, but I have just thought it might be a good day to top off the petrol tank.

This is a war between #Shia v #Sunni Muslims, orchestrated and ignited by #Israel and paid for in blood by the #USA? Israel is playing both sides to weaken both sides. They are surrounded by enemies. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, for now... This will not end well. #Trump #MAGA

While we're hooked on oil & gas we're vulnerable to price shocks caused by a rogue US president. It doesn't have to be like this. Invest in renewables, insulate our homes, cut the cost of living.

So a US sub torpedoed an Iranian vessel in international waters? (Hegseth claims it's the first sinking of an enemy vessel with a torpedo since WWII) Hegseth is actually proud of another war crime.

Wonderful slip by Rachel Reeves in her statement to the Commons. The ‘changes we promised’ morphed into the ‘promises we changed’.

What do you think will last longer? Operation Epic Fury, or Donald Trump?

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

damn they really made Operation Epstein Fury so fucking easy

As a complete aside, Iran might not be shipping as many missiles and Shaheed drones to the Russians for the time being.

The subject matter is no laughing matter, but how easily these AI systems fall over their own feet.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warned Monday that current financial conditions and banks doing “dumb things” like taking on risky loans could lead to a market meltdown similar to the one before the 2008 financial crisis. https://cnn.it/4kYuPn2

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

An important reminder

I have a remote control for my video switcher. It's so weak, and I have to stand so close to the video switcher to make it work, I've decided it's more a local than a remote.

My sources in Trumpworld say that the president is dead set on war with Iran unless the ayatollahs either dismantle their nuclear weapons or create a new oil company with Eric and Don Jr. on the board. by Maggie Haberman

According to the Times, this is why Trump posted about the Chagos Islands deal last night and reversed his support for the UK. An impressive moral stand by the UK👏 The Iraq war casts as damaging shadow over the UK Labour Party to this day. Starmer keen to avoid Blair‘s self-destruction. Article👇
