Big move in the budget to lower energy bills by £1bn a year - by scrapping the energy efficiency tax. It’s welcome. But it comes in the same month that a new tax was added to our energy bills - a nuclear tax to pay for Sizewell C - and it’s also £1bn. Kinda standing still aren’t we..:)

£150 off energy bills is a drop in the ocean while tax payers have to subsidise MPs’ energy bills, expenses and their food. #C4news

What is the chance Madam Deputy Speaker can control the shouting mob in the HoC? Not a good look the Chancellor needs to raise her voice to be heard. The world is watching this pantomime #Budget2025

We’re not going anywhere until the vile unnecessary ‘Guga hunt’ is ended for good.
A Protected Colony in Decline: Why the Guga Hunt Can No Longer Be Defended
For decades, the killing of gannet chicks, the “Guga hunt”, on Sula Sgeir has been defended as sustainable, harmless, and woven into cultural heritage.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Fiona Hill is correct about Trump thinking the deadline for the nominations for the Peace prize is looming at the end of January 2026. It’s all about him. I wonder if the Norwegian committee accepts peace plans with blackmail attached? #C4news

Registered Childminders ARE self employed ....how is this woman on the panel so ignorant? And so is the #PoliticsLive chair who shrugged her shoulders at the question.
November 25, 2025 at 12:58 PM
And still they call it #free childcare when plainly it is not so. Underfunding is the issue! The decline of OFSTED registered childminders started under Liz Truss and her obsession with Agencies. #PoliticsLive
