This is an astonishing exchange.

Ed Miliband dodges the question SEVENTEEN TIMES on why he won’t publish his secret China deal.

What is he trying to hide?

Well done @BradleyThomasUK.

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

Ed Miliband has refused to publish details of a net zero cooperation deal signed with China. So much for being a “government of transparency”.

What a disgrace. Ed Miliband came to the House to do a Statement about how vital it was to get to net zero- but when I asked him 3 simple questions, the cost, who’s paying for it & if the UK got to net zero how much it would reduce global temperatures, he couldn’t answer.

Ed Miliband:

"The biggest threat to nature and food security...is not solar panels or onshore wind. It is the climate crisis, which threatens farmland, food production and the livelihoods of farmers.”

No. The biggest threat to nature, food security (and energy security) is you.

[Bernie @Artemisfornow]

SOLAR - Don’t you think it’s a bit odd that yesterday there was a ‘huge blaze’ at a Solar Farm in Preston? And it don’t make the national news?

88 acres in size with 43,000 solar panels & larger than 50 football pitches.43,000 on fire. Residents told to stay inside and close all windows & doors.

Yet absolutely nothing. No video, no images. Apart from this.

[Aus Integrity @QBCCIntegrity]

Well… look what Labor, Liberal, Nationals & Greens rammed through parliament.

Exactly as we were warned.

Make sure you reward them all by putting them dead last this election.

[Christopher E- Cogan @cmec]

@JamesMelville Absolutely true! James, may I ask you to follow me? I’m not a big user of X, but I’d be grateful if I could dm you.

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

This is not environmentalism.
This is corporate land grabbing. The vast majority of these solar panels will end up in landfill after 25-30 years or potentially destroyed by bad weather.

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

Ed Miliband is a crank who spaffed away £22bn of public money on carbon capture machines, plans to ban new North Sea oil & gas licences and destroys prime farmland with massive solar panel projects. He’s putting our energy and economic security at risk.

Starmer’s Chagos surrender deal is collapsing so quickly it’s hard to keep up.

Here’s what we’ve learnt in the last few days👇

The Attorney General, Lord Hermer, has joined the British negotiating team. Shortly afterwards, the Government agreed to even more concessions — very likely including giving Mauritius more money. The Government has tellingly refused to deny it’s linked our payments to inflation.

Who is Lord Hermer? You may know him as Gerry Adam’s lawyer. He’s Starmer’s old friend and donor.

It’s come to light that Hermer described ‘controlling our borders’ as ‘dehumanising’ policy. He’s said ‘almost every element’ of the British Empire was ‘deeply racist’. He called Just Stop Oil ‘inspiring’ and is pro boycotting Israel. He’s Jeremy Corbyn in a barrister’s wig.

You may be wondering, why on earth are we even negotiating? Well, the Government finally provided its first actual argument for the deal. They’ve said that if no deal is done the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) — a UN agency — might revoke the US & UK’s right to conduct our communication operations on the Chagos Islands.

Why? Because the ICJ controversially gave an advisory opinion that the Chagos Island belongs to Mauritius. The Vice-President of this court served in Xi Jinping’s diplomatic service. Another judge was appointed by Putin. We are within our rights to ignore this non-binding judgment.

This new argument is absurd. I’m told that it’s the sovereignty of the Chagos Islands changing that is what’s most likely to see the ITU change what communication ‘rights’ we have on the island. But more importantly it’s absurd because the ITU has no power. It cannot ‘turn off’ the communication operations of the base.

Are we seriously to believe President Trump, or any future US President or British PM would endanger our security because the ITU has sent us a letter? Of course not.

It’s so ridiculous that experienced ministers privy to security briefings on this matter have called it out as nonsense.

The former defence secretary, Ben Wallace, said: ‘This is a totally fabricated excuse… The Islands are far more important than just this and the potential threat to our operations is a total fiction.’

So where did this argument come from? It appears to come from none other than Philippe Sands KC, the lead negotiator for Mauritius. He is an old friend of both Starmer and Lord Hermer. Sands set this whole argument out in a book he wrote in 2023.

We learned today that Sands illegally entered the Chagos Islands in 2022 and planted the Mauritian flag on the UK territory. How much must one loathe one’s own country to plant another nation’s flag on your own nation’s land?

It transpires that Sands has also compared UK sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine. “Britain’s position is no different from that of … Russia in relation to Crimea and other parts of the territory of Ukraine.”

It’s also come to light that Starmer had a 5 star, ‘all expenses paid for’ trip to Mauritius in 2013 where he discussed the Chagos Islands and gave a lecture on “the prosecution of crimes in the 21st century.” Was Sands present?

Starmer has denied speaking to Sands about the Chagos Islands since he became PM. It is unclear, though, when he last spoke to Sands - and when he last spoke to Sands about the Chagos Islands.

In light of all this, Starmer’s Cabinet has begun to turn on the deal. One told a journalist they don’t understand why the UK is sending between £9-18 billion to Mauritius when the Govt is scrapping winter fuel payments and raising taxes on working people.

And ‘very senior’ Govt sources (Starmer’s own advisors) have begun anonymously telling the press they think the deal is “terrible”, “mad” and “impossible to understand.”

All this has happened in the last few days alone.

If even senior Labour officials think this deal is terrible, I am more confident than ever that, if we keep pushing, we can sink it.

It was a pleasure to chat to @JeremyClarkson today about the farmers’ rally and the terrible impact Labour’s budget will have on our rural communities.

Jeremy and I agree we cannot allow the government to get away with it.

[Professor Karol Sikora @ProfKarolSikora]

We need to get away from this weird attitude that the country's sole purpose is to serve the needs of the NHS.

It's a poorly performing health service, not a religion.

Instead of this fawning nonsense, we need a serious debate about how healthcare is delivered in our country.

This British man and former soldier who served his country in Iraq and Afghanistan and has PTSD has just been sent to prison for two years because of what he said on Facebook in the aftermath of Southport.

Here's what he said:

-"Civil war is here. The only thing missing is bullets, that's the next step."

-he said he is only racist "to those who suck the life out of our culture. As a culture we are too nice and soft"

-"They want us to be Islamic, that's why they are here."

-"Come on guys, it's time to stand up. Everything our ancestors, our grandparents and parents fought for is gone, don't be scared."

-he then posted a series of AI images including a child dressed as a medieval knight carrying a sword next to lion with the caption "Time to wake up the lion to save our children's future".

-an image that depicted a man wearing what was described in court as "traditional Islamic clothing" with a large knife being held over his head

-and a third image depicting a group of men in traditional Islamic dress chasing a crying child in a Union flag t-shirt in front of the Houses of Parliament

He was sent to prison for two years.

@Jamie_Blackett Is it the case that diminishing the availability of uk-sourced food pushes up prices and justifies more food imports at lower wholesale cost, increasing the supermarkets’ margins? All while greenwashing…
