Fossil Fuels are behind our ever-increasing energy bills here in Britain. When less than 40% of our energy comes from gas and homegrown green energy is cheaper, why do we allow this to continue?

Macron made Trump “the first president in history who had to be interrupted and corrected by an ally when the president of the United States was lying and lying about that ally” www.huffpost.com/entry/lawren...

Was shown a cartoon version of Animal Farm when at college early 70's. Must have been a liberal studies thing. Stuck with me all this time. Love the parallel of Musk with Squealer 😂 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Interesting debate on new Liquidator about why #wba should have a Blue Sky account. The issue isn't whether they should leave X but many Baggies followers are here now - and want the club to respect their choice. More with @goldbergradio.bsky.social @chrislepkowski.bsky.social pod.fo/e/2b0f86

Dear Germany, two thoughts when it comes to your elections 🇩🇪 🇬🇧 Look what happened when the UK voted for Brexit 🇺🇸 Look what Happened when the US voted again for Trump Populists promise the world, and deliver pretty much nothing other than more hate and division. Chose well and good luck 🙏

Hey #Birmingham museums! Thinktank family tickets during the week £37.50. Come the weekend and kids holidays £52.50. Why? Don't you want kids to engage! I remember the old science museum in Newhall Street. It was free and in my opinion, better. You should be ashamed

This is why the media gives people like Donald Trump such an easy ride and people like Keir Starmer such a hard one iandunt.substack.com/p/journalism...

Can Western capitalism and the US rule of law are both being on verge of collapse by reason of Trumpian folly not coincide with Aston Villa badly needing a central defender on transfer deadline day? Please? This is the very worst doomscrolling day.

I remember when Aston Villa signed a player on a downer from Manchester United and all the wise heads tutted and said taking on this falling star was far too risky. But Paul McGrath did not do too badly for us. Welcome Marcus Rashford, and enjoy your time with us. #AVFC #UTV

There's still a public right of way along this stretch of Watling Street. Until 100 or so years ago, a stone indicated the intersection with Ryknield St, another Roman road. Rumour has it a local farmer removed the marker & used it to repair a stile. Surely it must still be around here...somewhere

Aston Villa 0 v 1 Chelsea WSL. Chelsea running away with the league but it took an own goal for them to win here at Villa Park this afternoon. #AVFC played so well matching them player for player in all departments. Unfortnuate to lose - deserved a draw.

Our Renters Rights Bill will provide protection for millions of renters, including those in Lewisham West and East Dulwich. The Tories voted against it. We are beginning the change that people voted for on 4th July 🌹

Very well said by Ed Davey. It would be even more impactful if he didn't say it on X, but only on BlueSky Time to boycott X.

Headlines can be deceptive. I thought the author had lost the plot. But this article makes total sense and confirms why I feel so deflated (politically). It's not that I think Labour won't do a good job, they will, It's that nobody will hear the message. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A remarkable stat: Heidi Alexander’s appointment as Transport Secretary means the cabinet is now 100% state-educated for the first time in history.

I loathe a political culture that removes a passionate and effective minister over a decade-old minor offence that has zero bearing on her ability to do the job. A mixture of cowardice, malice and triviality.

So interesting to view Brexit from the European side - this is Angel Markel writing in her memoirs ( extracts from @thetimes.com )- about it being a humiliation for European leaders …

When did Nurses last store billions of pounds off shore? When did Nurses last crash the economy by slashing business rates and taxes? When did Nurses last extract wealth out of public services and sell of contracts to their mates? Don't you dare try and blame us for your greed and corruption

Important context here: ● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares) ● "a big farm" is 217 acres. Now let's see who's angry: ● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres ● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres ● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres ● Dyson owns 36,000 acres
