A quarter of the average UK energy bill last year was profit for the big energy companies.

Meanwhile, almost three million households in England suffer fuel poverty.

No one should be choosing between heating and eating while energy companies rake in billions.

Love this mashup (but was hoping for a 'shut up and let me go' at the end 😉). Great stuff, and I agree, that first album by the Ting Tings was excellent - 'That’s not my name' is a total banger.

Labour's Rachel Reeves thinks we're all stupid

After admitting that Brexit is costing us 4% of GDP

She suggested the UK-EU reset is mitigating that

It's not

0.13% GDP gain from UK–India deal
0.05% GDP gain from UK–US deal
0.3% GDP gain from UK–EU reset

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

Tim Walz: "The biggest myth is that this guy understands business. He's an absolute abject failure at business ... the irony is calling Democrats socialists when I am begging for free markets here to allow capitalism to work. Donald Trump is the one with government interference."

COLLINS: The Dept of Energy just canceled $1b for a hydrogen hub that covers Montana. Is that taking away good-paying jobs?

SHEEHY: Of course it is. We want govt to be open

C: But the Energy Secretary says he would've pulled that funding even if govt was open

S: ... Well, that's unfortunate

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

Excellent debunk Emma, as per. Utterly predictable that certain people would misrepresent what happened.

Utterly depressing that around 10 kids will not now have the opportunity to learn about other beliefs and therefore avoid growing up like their ignorant, bigoted parents.

🚨Christian children were told they'd "be Muslim by year 6"!🚨

😱Sounds outrageous?

You know the drill…

If it sounds outrageous and designed to trigger you into being angry with “other” people, then you need to do some 🪏

So you've got a Canadian "journalist" covering the trial of an Irish citizen, who lives in Spain and whose costs are being covered by a South African born migrant living in the United States.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.
