History will look back on the high priests of the net zero cult with incredulity.

Burnham is condemning Britain to poverty, deindustrialisation, power cuts with this absurd - and unachievable - commitment to reach net zero by 2050.

Fool or traitor?

[Daniel Hannan @DanielJHannan]

Three times in my adult life, we got to see what our leaders were made of.
Who opposed the bailouts in October 2008?
Who opposed the lockdown in March 2020?
Who resisted the BLM madness in June 2020?
The number of politicians who passed all three tests AT THE TIME is tiny.

Tolkien was asked WHY he wrote the stories of Middle-earth. This was his answer...

Iran threatens Western military bases, sponsors terrorism and persecutes its own people. Yet 144 UN members vote to give it a seat on a committee overseeing key UN programmes. Britain failed to object to its nomination. What a disgraceful display of diplomatic cowardice.

This is a very troubling story in a variety of ways.

⏰ Only 7 days to go to submit evidence to the Conversion Practices Bill committee.

The government’s planned law could put loving parents under criminal investigation for ordinary, responsible parenting.

Tell it to think again ⬇️

Peak Marie Antoinette from Miatta;

“Let them pay £300 a month energy bills while I commission more heavily-subsidised “cheap”windmills and count myself virtuous.”

British people need to call time on this elite fantasy.

[LabourLGB @LabourLGB]

PROOF! The Conversion Practices Bill is a trojan horse designed by ideologists to circumvent the Supreme Court ruling that states sex is biological sex and not some disproved, university ideology. Hidden in the Impact Assessment is the true goal of the Bill...

[Jim Spence @JimSpenceDundee]

This fella is one of the few impressive members of a Parliament which has fallen far from grace. Regularly raising issues of real importance rather than virtue signalling twattery like so many others.

[Naomi Cunningham @LoudBonnet]

Please do this.

The government’s conversion-practices helpline tender now expects as few as 300 calls a year, instead of the 15,000 envisaged. @Daniel_J_Martin

“It’s a scandal that the original, inflated numbers are being used as evidence for the draft Conversion Practices Bill.” @DerryBanShee in @Telegraph

Look! Marvel at this Tory minister’s arrogant ignorance as he blew up another vital part of our country’s infrastructure.

Why was Alok Sharma allowed to engage in such vandalism in plain sight?

The net zero cult and the all-powerful Climate Change Committee.

Blackouts incoming…

[Agent P @AgentP22]

Happens every single year.

Literally, every single year.

Why is nothing done ever about it apart from warning the public not to go to A&E?

The Death Bed by Siegfried Sassoon

He drowsed and was aware of silence heaped 
Round him, unshaken as the steadfast walls; 
Aqueous like floating rays of amber light, 
Soaring and quivering in the wings of sleep.
Silence and safety; and his mortal shore 
Lipped by the inward, moonless waves of death. 

Someone was holding water to his mouth. 
He swallowed, unresisting; moaned and dropped 
Through crimson gloom to darkness; and forgot 
The opiate throb and ache that was his wound. 
Water—calm, sliding green above the weir; 
Water—a sky-lit alley for his boat, 
Bird-voiced, and bordered with reflected flowers 
And shaken hues of summer: drifting down, 
He dipped contented oars, and sighed, and slept. 

Night, with a gust of wind, was in the ward, 
Blowing the curtain to a glimmering curve. 
Night. He was blind; he could not see the stars 
Glinting among the wraiths of wandering cloud; 
Queer blots of colour, purple, scarlet, green, 
Flickered and faded in his drowning eyes. 

Rain—he could hear it rustling through the dark; 
Fragrance and passionless music woven as one; 
Warm rain on drooping roses; pattering showers 
That soak the woods; not the harsh rain that sweeps 
Behind the thunder, but a trickling peace, 
Gently and slowly washing life away. 

He stirred, shifting his body; then the pain 
Leaped like a prowling beast, and gripped and tore 
His groping dreams with grinding claws and fangs. 
But someone was beside him; soon he lay 
Shuddering because that evil thing had passed. 
And death, who'd stepped toward him, paused and stared. 

Light many lamps and gather round his bed. 
Lend him your eyes, warm blood, and will to live. 
Speak to him; rouse him; you may save him yet. 
He's young; he hated war; how should he die 
When cruel old campaigners win safe through? 

But death replied: “I choose him.” So he went, 
And there was silence in the summer night; 
Silence and safety; and the veils of sleep. 
Then, far away, the thudding of the guns.

A big thank you to Kosovo, Northern Ireland, Iraq, Afghanistan veteran…former Defence Secretary and current Minister of State for Security @DanJarvisMBE for taking the time to highlight the fundraiser for homeless veterans https://t.co/ORuIdCFh0r on @GBNEWS - £750k raised so far

[Ella Whelan @Ella_M_Whelan]

Spent yesterday reading testimonies from women which really made me angry - so many made to feel bad and wrong for doing what's best for them and their babies. So today I am determined to remember the good - like how bottle feeding not only kept my kids alive but allowed my family to participate in one of life's greatest pleasures.
