Shabana Mahmood just proscribed the IRGC, bowing to the Israel lobby.
It’s part of a National Security Bill that could jail journalists for 14 years just for doing their jobs.
This is the most authoritarian UK government in modern history, shredding our rights at the behest of a foreign state.
They’ll come for your thoughts and opinions next @lornahosford
The World Bank ranked every country on earth for practical solar potential.
Britain came second from bottom. Not second from bottom in Europe. On the planet. Out of everywhere they measured, the only place with worse conditions for a solar panel is Ireland. Norway is above us. Norway, where the sun clocks off entirely for part of the year, is a better bet than Lincolnshire.
The reasons are not a mystery. We sit at 53 degrees north, the same line as Edmonton, Alberta. The sun in December gets about as high as a first-floor window and then thinks better of it. And there's the cloud, which is not a detail, it is the national personality. A square metre of London gets 0.52 kilowatt hours of sunlight a day in December and 4.74 in July, so the panel does nine times less work in the month your heating is on than in the month it isn't. Across the whole of 2024, British solar ran at 9.5% of what it's rated at. The other 90.5% is a photograph of a power station.
Now the other column.
The ground we're bolting it to is Trent valley silt and Lincolnshire fen. Some of it took three hundred years to drain. It grows wheat at yields that most of the planet cannot get near, in a climate so reliably damp that grass grows here without anyone asking it to, which is the entire reason this island has cattle and cheese and a butcher.
So we are, measurably, one of the worst places on earth for sunlight and one of the best on earth for food.
And we've had a good long look at both of those numbers and gone with sunlight.
Somewhere in Namibia, which the same report ranked first, there is a patch of absolutely nothing, in full sun, wondering what it did wrong.
To the best of my knowledge I have never met a member of the IRGC. Neither expressed “a positive opinion” about them. An English woman named Shabana Mahmood has just made it punishable by 14 years in prison so to do so as a free-born Scotsman I will have to reconsider that. So far as I’m aware - as a UK legislator across five decades - this is the first time I have been explicitly told that I can go to prison literally for my opinion. For those of you cheering, remember, it will be your opinion next.
JUST IN: 🇧🇷🇺🇸 Brazil President Lula:
“The US lied about Iran's nuclear weapons just like it lied about Iraq. It provoked this war. Now Trump says oil owners must pay him 20% for each ship he claims to unblock.
That used to be called piracy."
A British surgeon who treated dying and injured children in Gaza says his evidence of war crimes was ignored by Keir Starmer.
Professor Nick Maynard talks to us about his experiences, including how he had to watch babies starve to death after Israel’s deliberate blockade of food, and how Starmer skipped meetings with him and other doctors who had worked in Gaza amid the ongoing genocide.
The UN also released two reports last month confirming a genocide and the IDF’s targeting of children, yet the UK government still remains an ally of Israel and refuses to use the term ‘genocide’ for the years long assault on Palestine.
Professor Maynard also shares his experiences in a new film, Life Support. Find a screening here:

This is good news, but the fight is not over.
The Senate just rejected the NDAA that would merge our military with Israel’s, which will now proceed to the House.
Call your senators & representatives and tell them not to support the NDAA until the merger w/ Israel (Section 219) is removed.
The senate switchboard number is: (202) 224-3121

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to Donald Trump:
"Twenty-three years ago, the U.S. dragged us into Iraq over claims of weapons of mass destruction. None were found. You cannot fool us twice."
Tucker Carlson goes nuclear on Trump: "It's such a betrayal. How could you betray us? It's the betrayal that make it so bitter for people like me. In the end it's all about crypto scams and wars for Israel. Hiding the Epstein stuff, yelling at anyone who asks questions about Butler. I'm outraged that someone I supported would betray the country and his own voters. You are disloyal. You sold out the country."
🚨Tommy Tuberville United States Senator of Alabama:
@SenTuberville
‼️He (Putin) doesn't want Ukraine.
🚨He doesn't want Europe.
At least he's got enough land of his own.
He just wants to make sure that he does not have United States weapons in Ukraine pointing at Moscow.

Deposition of vaccinologist Stanley Plotkin under oath.
Reeves defends scrapping the universal winter fuel allowance, saying she had to make lots of choices that weren't easy.
For the last 2 years Labours 'tough choices' have always targeted the many, never the few. That tells us whose interests the Labour right represent.
Ro Khanna: “The IDF is lying. What happened was unprecedented. They had violent settlers detain American citizens including an American government official. You had these settlers brandishing M4s, kicking the tires of our van, laughing at us, mocking at us, videotaping us. We were detained for about 20 minutes, fearful for our lives. How dare they mistreat people with an American passport that way”
Activist: "You should be feeding Bovaer. It cuts methane by a third. Why wouldn't you?"
Farmer: "Have you followed what happened in Denmark?"
Activist: "They rolled it out. Good for them."
Farmer: "They made it compulsory last year. Feed the additive, or switch to a high-fat diet, or take the fine. Within weeks farmers were reporting whole herds with diarrhoea, milk yields dropping, animals going off their legs. One dairyman lost ten cows and put his own family back on organic milk."
Activist: "That's anecdotal. The regulators say it's safe."
Farmer: "Norway and Sweden paused their trials. The European Commission ordered the safety review reopened. The maker says it's fine, and it may well be, but when two countries hit the brakes and a third's animals are on the floor, I'm allowed to wait before I put a synthetic nitrate compound in the feed of animals I've kept healthy on grass for years."
Activist: "It's about the planet, not your cows."
Farmer: "My cows are the bit of the planet I'm in charge of. The methane they breathe out was grass a season ago and it'll be grass again. I'm not dosing a healthy animal to fix a loop, on the say-so of the firm selling the dose."
Activist: "So you're just refusing to change."
Farmer: "I'm refusing to be the trial. Ask the Danes how volunteering for that went."

I’m shocked that so many people are mourning his death. Mourning a monster doesn’t humanize the monster. It dehumanizes the mourner.
Westminster has built a country where we spend more money on the planning paperwork for a single road than it costs other nations to build an entire mountain tunnel.
This isn't a system accidentally strangled by red tape: it is a highly lucrative industry. A vast priesthood of consultants and lawyers is making a fortune they have no interest in the work being done.
It is corruption by bureaucracy, and working-class communities are footing the bill for projects that never even see a spade in the ground.
The absolute paralysis of modern Britain was laid bare in a recent parliamentary committee. A single witness gave them the truth with both barrels, exposing the administrative vampires sucking public money dry while the work goes undone. The details are an insult to every community waiting for homes, decent transport, and cheaper energy.
Take the Lower Thames Crossing. The planning application alone has swallowed more than a quarter of a billion pounds. For that exact same amount, Norway actually constructed the world’s longest road tunnel. We spent it on paper, and we have not even turned a sod of earth.
This is a permission state eating itself alive.
Look at HS2, the most expensive railway line on earth. Part of the reason it cost so much is that we are spending £121 million on a specific "bat tunnel" to protect a few hundred bats living in a nearby wood, a wood the line does not even pass through.
Look at Hinkley Point C, the most expensive nuclear power station in human history. For eight years, developers locked in a multi-million-pound wrangle with regulators over installing an underwater "fish disco", an acoustic deterrent to stop fish swimming into the pipes. 20 years ago, we built nuclear fleets at a fraction of the cost. Today, we sacrifice national infrastructure to the gods of endless compliance.
The final absurdity is the plan to reopen just 3.3 miles of an existing railway line between Bristol and Portishead, a route already built but closed during the Beeching cuts. The planning application is 80,000 pages long. Over one thousand of those pages are about bats.
We have created a system that trades in paper while the real economy rots. The working class pay the price for this institutional cowardice. They pay for it in soaring energy bills, missing homes, broken transport links, and a country that cannot build the future it keeps promising.
Protecting the environment is vital, but drowning ourselves in paper is not environmentalism. A system that takes 80,000 pages to clear three miles of existing track is broken. It is not governance: it is managed decline with a clipboard.
It's the bureaucratic vampires drinking the country's wealth...
