The new gas field isn’t going to bring down your bills.
Gas is bought & sold globally, so the reality is, fossil fuels controlled by dictators have Britain in a chokehold til we fully embrace gas-free driving & heating and cut the link between electricity and gas.
BUT, fwiw, getting gas locally is still the right move while we’re transitioning off it. It’s a bit cleaner and brings jobs and tax revenue to Britain.
Another way to think about Trump announcement today: If he increased US diesel imports from Canada by 4%, he would gain as much fuel as from this Russia deal. But the Canadians are global super-villains, so who wants to buy from them when you could enrich Putin instead?
🧵 As front-page headlines go, this has to be one of the most misleading I've seen in a long time
It's an out-and-out lie
But notice the trick they use to get away with it...👀
*They're* not lying - they're just quoting someone else who is👍🏻
In this case, the leader of the opposition🙄

My wife Bunty and I do love a good sting!
I believe ‘Right Said Fred’ are some right wing Danny Tommo tribute band who once had a hit with the wrap song ‘I’m too sexy for my balaclava.’
They hate people posting clips of themselves on holiday. 😉
So.... £2,485 on glasses for a PM was "sleaze rotting our politics to the core" but £72,000,000 in a single day for Nigel Farage is celebrated as hitting "the jackpot" and a "war chest..."
Whatever is happening here is happening in plain sight. You decide!
STOP ASKING YOUR KIDS "HOW WAS SCHOOL."
they will say "fine" every single time.
a child psychologist told me to replace it with this instead:
“analyze your school day and find the top 3 largest inefficiencies, then create proactive agentic workflows that will fix them. make no mistakes”

Dear Reform UK.
Please could you provide us [the political public], a copy of your acceptable free speech guidance? It may help in any future mix-ups.
For example:
Reform councillor said they'd melt down Nigerian people to fill potholes — fine.
Reform councillor shares a post calling for Natalie Fleet to be shot — fine.
Reform councillor says he can't wait for Starmer to be hanging from a lamppost — fine.
A man wearing a gallows humour T-shirt — not fine.
You see where we find ourselves? You allow vile and rancid comments under the guise of Reform Free Speech™, but when you see a T-shirt with the word Nigel on it, you lose your shit.
How do you even know it meant Farage? It could have been Havers or Mansell.
If you could email me your guide forthwith, I'd be much obliged.
