If we want people to embrace renewable energy, we've got to decouple energy prices from the price of gas. Record energy from renewables, but the price cap goes up yet again! If people don't see the benefit, why would they accept solar farms, new pylons etc. ? #pricecap #ofgem #greenenergy

93 countries supported the eEU-Ukrainian resolution that named Russia an aggressor state and called on it to remove its troops from Ukraine The US, Russia, Belarus and North Korea voted against Read that again, the US sided with Russia and North Korea 👀

Shamelessly stolen from Instagram... But too true to not share!

We may have left the EU in 2016 after lies, misinformation, and promises of prosperity that have not materialised Luckily for us, the EU isn't that far away, it's just next door Anyone else want the UK 🇬🇧 to rejoin the EU 🇪🇺 ?

THIS IS A DICTATOR

🔥 Well... this is now over 88,000 signatures! Just one final push to get it over that magic 100,000 and get a parliamentary debate? Why not! Link --> petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

If Palestine is Palestine and the Palestinians should never have to leave, fly the flag. Palestine Forever.

At a moment when we desperately need a fragile truce to hold, Trump’s ramblings on Gaza risk having the effect of a bull in a china shop. The UK needs to make clear that these proposals must be rejected, and that we support international law and a two state solution based on 1967 borders.

Absolutely @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

Absolutely spot on from Rory Stewart

Where did that come from #hcafc ? Pretty much a complete performance. Need to kick on and give the fans a good home win. #UTT

Great to see Timpson aiming to close one women’s jail in E&W and citing plans to move away from custodial sentences for low-level crimes. Huge news! This focus will shift to community-based alternatives to better address issues like addiction and trauma.

How can young people save for retirement when they're crushed by housing costs and the rising cost of living? 40-year mortgages and a lifetime of work loom, leaving no room for pensions. This generation faces a bleak future. #economy

2025: Laura Kuenssberg criticises Labour saying the online safety bill doesn't go far enough 2022: Your reminder that it was the Conservatives who 'watered down' the Online Safety Bill, then Conservative Culture Secretary Michelle Donelan said tougher rules would have 'stifled free speech'

Rachel Sylvester, "Alexis Jay who reported on the inquiry in 2022 says there doesn't need to be another one" "Labour have announced practical steps to make a difference, protect children, and stop this kind of thing happening in the future"

Prof Alexis Jay, chair of public inquiry into child sexual abuse, says further national inquiry into grooming gangs isn’t needed & would delay action. “The time has passed for more inquiries, we’ve had enough… We’ve set out action required & people should just get on with it, nationally & locally”

Well, that was an exciting afternoon watching #hcafc! A few observations • The team are buying in to Selles • Selles is very proactive tactically - constantly switching from a low block with no press, to a mid block, to a high press. Leeds struggled to get to grips with that. 1/2

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take #hcafc. Got to start turning periods of positive play into attempts on goal.

#hcafc excellent today! Haven't said that much this year. Provably deserving of a wider margin. Excellent shape on and off the ball with a great press. Tough fixtures over the festive period but things are looking up.

#hcafc terrible today, but there were a couple of positives... Long man played well Pandur was solid Burstow had an impact Anything else?

I was saying exactly this after the match on Saturday... its whether there are enough training sessions to implement such a change in shape. #hcafc

🚨🚨 "Brexit makes no sense in a world dominated by Trump. Britain’s place is back in the EU". Great column by @jonathanfreedland.bsky.social on #brexit and the election of Donald Trump which I think has been widely misconstrued in some quarters. /1 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I thought #hcafc deserved a point today. Played with better structure but were punished by a characteristic mistake 🤔🤨

Where's our Referendum?

The time when Elon Musk got told how it is.

Could #hcafc tempt Graham Potter back into football? If not, Steve Cooper would be a good appointment.

I thought earlier in the season at #hcafc, you could at least see the plan (it wasn't going to work, but you could see what they were trying to do), but now it's just a shambles.

132 years ago this cartoon was drawn, and in 132 years the problem has only gotten worse.

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up. If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds
