Nearly 30% of your Energy bill is profit, and that's just for the big companies.

If Energy was nationalised bills could be nearly halved overnight, the infrastructure is only worth £109.5bn.

Time for a compulsory purchase order.

Poor old Israel, being knocked out of the World Cup, they are probably screaming that the IDF should have bombed the other teams, right now.

This report feels quite toothless and underwhelming. The takeover in only a little over a decade of most Vet practices by these large groups has caused massive price rises. Can't think of any comparable sector that has seen such enormous rises in consumer bills (63% higher than in 2016).

Absolutely true. Johnson's purge cleared the party of anyone intelligent enough to oppose his Brexit and the refusal to accept this fact dooms the party to wingnuttery.

Ugh. The utterly selfish hypocrisy of these dismal people. Taking opportunities they enjoyed away from future generations. Like Braverman who studied in Paris under the Erasmus scheme. I will never run out of scorn or loathing for them.

We occasionally have a member of the Conservatives in Paris cabal down here at his second home. He is fervently anti EU but lives here in France! If properly shredded in conversation he will eventually admit Brexit was a very grave error. Otherwise, he pretends it was for the best.

This is like a festering boil not just for the Tories but for the nation as a whole.

Until the boil is lanced we cannot expect to heal and they cannot expect to be trusted with the economy again.

Brexit didn't drain Tory talent, it wasn't there to drain.
It has drained Britain in many ways. A treasonous act with Putin all over it.

This is true of most politicians, having to pretend it’s ok because the people voted for it. There’ll be no significant improvement until the truth becomes part of government policy.

Brexit has truly destroyed the Tory party, yet the author fails to address why it hasn’t affected the political fortunes of Farage, the individual most closely (with Johnson) linked to leaving the EU

The UK must prepare for a 2C rise in global temperatures by 2050, according to new analysis from the Climate Change Committee (CCC), commissioned by the government.
The report forecasts that risks from heatwaves, droughts, and wildfires could double over the next 25 years, with some peak river flows increasing by as much as 40%.

The Times:

Reform vow to fight 'crazy Miliband over solar farm

Miliband has approved plans for Britain's biggest solar farm, prompting Reform UK to say it would fight to reverse the decision.
The Tillbridge Solar project, in Lin-colnshire, would cover an area equivalent to about 2,000 football pitches.
Farage's party said the scheme would destroy valuable agricultural land, but Labour said it was needed to meet green energy targets and reduce dependency on energy from abroad.
Tillbridge Solar is the tenth large solar project Miliband has approved since taking office. Half of them are in Lin-colnshire, prompting opposition from local Reform and Conservative MPs.
Tillbridge Solar aims to generate electricity for 300,000 homes and the scheme would cover about 1,400 hectares of mainly agricultural land
Michael Shanks, the energy minister, said: "Solar is one of the cheapest and quickest power sources we can build. It is crucial in our mission to make Britain a clean energy superpower, giving us energy security, good jobs and growth across the country."

A report by the Planning Inspectorate said that the project would lead to the loss of about 1,200 hectares of farm-land, including 11l hectares of the highest grade land, and acknowledged the cumulative impact of other solar arrays in Lincolnshire. However, it concluded that this would not be nationally "significant" , with solar taking over less
than 1% of UK farmland.
It added that the biodiversity would benefit from the end of intensive farming on the land and that crop planting
"could be restored should it be needed in the future" for food security.
In a blunt warning to companies behind the schemes, Richard Tice, Reform UK's deputy leader and the MP for nearby Boston & Skegness, said: "We will do all we can to stop investors and developers; nothing is off the table."

“Make Brexit work” by raising taxes to stem the ongoing losses.
Slavish devotion to failed ideology has a very high price.

Adam Bienkov @adambienkov.bsky.social · 3h

"There is no doubt that the impact of Brexit has been severe and long-lasting", Rachel Reeves tells Sky News, as she suggests that taxes will now have to go up as a result to "make sure the numbers add up".
