Utter uselessness, and/or complicity in corruption, of “Big Four” accountancy firm EY, formerly known as Ernst & Young, exposed?

“Tony Blair’s suggestion that we have less green energy, and instead focus on carbon capture—which means burning more fossil fuels—is transparently self-serving for a consultant to oil-producing nations.” @dalevince.com on Tony Blair's vested interest in rubbishing net zero.

Sunday, April 13, 2025 Today missed being Easter by 22 minutes. Gregorian Calendar’s definition: First Sunday after the first Full Moon after the March Equinox. If the Full Moon had occurred 22 minutes earlier, landing yesterday (GMT), then today would have been that first Sunday.

Rand Paul: "The whole [tariffs] debate is so fundamentally backwards & upside down. It's based on a fallacy & the fallacy is this: that somehow in a trade, someone must lose. That somehow when you trade with someone, someone is taking advantage of you... I have a trade deficit with my grocery store"

China does 8% of its trade with the USA. 8%, if it does 0% they won't really care. The USA gets more than 40% of its stuff from China. The USA will be completely destroyed.

Speculation continues to grow in the USA that Elon Musk’s days as CEO of Tesla are numbered. The betting company BetIdeas says there is a 44% chance he will be removed this year, a 33% chance that he will quit, and a 64% chance that Tesla’s share price will tumble by another 15% this coming year.

Andrew Neil a bit slow on the uptake

Nikola Tesla would consider Elon Musk a moron.

Once the face of EVs, Tesla is now losing ground as Chinese automakers dominate. With just 10% of global NEV sales, Tesla’s brand is fading, while Chinese NEVs are 3-5 years ahead in tech, efficiency & affordability. The clean energy transition isn’t Tesla-led—it’s China-led. 🔋⚡ #EV #Lithium #LFP

Lloyds Banking Group ordered to publish long-delayed report into its coverup of the £1bn HBOS Reading fraud. Treasury committee chair Meg Hillier, said she expects the bank to place a “full copy” of the Dobbs review into the public domain once completed. @jamesdhurley.bsky.social @thetimes.com

This is fascism.

From this week's @privateeyenews.bsky.social 0.43% potential increase in GDP from new third runway at Heathrow (figures by erm, Heathrow airport 🤔) 12% estimated fall in world GDP for every 1 degree C rise in global temperature

Barcelona city council quits X, citing misinformation concerns, saying: “Nearly 80 municipal accounts will be closed, with only one remaining, dedicated solely to emergency information, weather alerts, and mobility disruptions.” techinformed.com/europe-regul...

Except the draft Heads of Terms for #Drax announced today has a floor of 22% load ... meaning ... in later years like 2030/1 Drax will be paid even if renewables are >>78%of grid. This is crazy and would pay Drax to pollute ahead of renewables @fionaharvey.bsky.social @mpwatch.bsky.social

"Rather than aiding the UK in achieving Net Zero, the Starmer government's fixation on CCUS is perversely acting to funnel huge amounts of public money, collected through consumer levies, into the coffers of fossil fuel companies" My CCS legal case 👉 www.crowdjustice.com/case/net-zer... Read more👇

Tesla sales are plummeting around the world after its chief executive Elon Musk used X to promote and endorse conspiracy theories, amplify disinformation, and champion racist thugs and far-right grifters.

FCA has the same “red flags” as the Post Office, MPs say in fresh attack. Parliamentary group on fairer finance accuses the Financial Conduct Authority, led by CEO Nikhil Rathi, of sweeping legitimate criticisms under the rug.

Time for Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the UK to reconsider their membership of Five Eyes?

Really good read on how awful Keir Starmer is, how he's devoid of any ideology, and how the right wing of Labour continue to fuck the country over. Kinda wish Rayner had launched that coup, things may have been at least slightly better www.owenjones.news/p/keir-starm...

North Sea oil and gas should be brought under public control, says Common Wealth. The think tank argues that, if the industry remains in private hands, energy firms will leave it to communities and the taxpayer to pick up the pieces when production ends.

Beautiful up on Otley Chevin. Lots of people sensibly marching about in crampons.

Liz Truss and Rachel Reeves have a lot in common www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/01... Liz Truss was, in reality, brought down by the Bank of England. That Bank has now laid the foundations for the crisis that is threatening Reeves. They have much more in common than most people would think.

Shep is looking at me as if to say, what the hell did you do with the garden last night? Several inches so far...

This is the star Sirius! It is the brightest star in the night sky. Sirius is almost twice as bright as Canopus, the next brightest star! It is also twice as massive as the sun! It is located 8.6 light years away. #astronomy @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

Is this Britain's sorest loser? In July, Labour's @jonashworth.bsky.social was defeated by independent candidate @shockatadam.bsky.social. Shockat is an optician. A new optician opened opposite him. See what Ashworth posted, and the response. Ashworth went on to delete the post.
