A friend is at Wembley stadium and sent me these. Extraordinary to think it needs saying, and even more so that so much has changed (for the better) this past year or so:

Ok let’s be very clear … Labour wants to decide what is misinformation and disinformation. So they can ensure you only read the news they approve of.

Er … the threat to democracy is them!

Today, NASA satellites confirm Earth is greening dramatically. CO₂ fertilisation has added biomass equivalent to two continents of new forest in recent decades, boosting crop yields and ecosystems alike.

Oceans, holding around 50 times more carbon than the atmosphere, continue their ancient dance of absorption, circulation and outgassing under Henry’s Law.

The natural world keeps working its wonders. The real question isn’t whether CO₂ is 'pollution', but how we pursue genuine abundance and resilience while staying humble before these vast systems.

Scottish taxpayers, against the vast majority’s will, funded an attempt by the government to keep men in women’s prisons. Never have I been so tempted to move to Monaco and give all the money I’ve been paying in tax to groups fighting the rank misogyny of Swinney’s government.

Possibly, as Minister for Health, James Murray could compel the adult gender clinics to hand over the data they refused to give to Cass. We might then find out just how much benefit these interventions confer long term, without needing to perform experiments on children too young to give meaningful consent.

Read the testimony of the ever-expanding numbers of detransitioners. Grasp that these young people, many of them extremely vulnerable - autistic, care-experienced, abuse survivors, same-sex attracted in unsupportive families - have been irreparably harmed, left with their fertility destroyed, unending medical complications and profound psychological damage.

This is a medical scandal of epic proportions and people of power and influence are still too frightened of trans activists and trans lobby groups to do the right thing and put an end to the insanity. Kids are being sacrificed to ideology and cowardice.

🇬🇧 THEY TOLD YOU A STORY. 🇬🇧

Colonisers. Slavers. Oppressors. And you were supposed to feel ashamed.

Not for what you done... But for WHO YOU ARE. 🇬🇧

So we tested it. Britain wrote everything down, so we opened the books. 📖

Turns out fewer than 1 man in 10 could vote in the year Britain banned the slave trade. No woman could. Your ancestors could hang for stealing a sheep, get shipped across the world for petty theft, or go down a mine at 8 years old. In Manchester, the average age of death in a labouring family was 17.

They weren't running the slave trade. They were underneath it too.

Which is what makes what happened next worth knowing.

In 1772 an enslaved man named James Somerset walked free from an English court, because English law couldn't hold a slave.

In 1791, 300,000 families just stopped buying slave sugar. No march, no riot, just a decision made at 300,000 kitchen tables.

In 1792, 519 petitions carrying 390,000 names hit Parliament, most signed by people who couldn't vote themselves.

In 1807, Britain banned the trade.

Then the slave owners sent Britain a bill for the 800,000 people they still held. 💷 £20 million. About 40% of the entire government budget at the time.

The Treasury says it wasn't paid off until 2015. So if your family paid British tax before then, they helped buy 800,000 people their freedom.

From 1808 the Royal Navy spent 60 years hunting slave ships at sea: 1,600 stopped, 150,000 people freed, and 1,600 British sailors dead, mostly of disease, buried thousands of miles from home. ⚓

In 1816 they ended two centuries of Barbary corsairs enslaving Europeans.

In 1896 a war that lasted 38 minutes ended slavery in Zanzibar. 🇹🇿

Almost every country on Earth outlaws slavery today.

That fight was paid for largely at British expense, by British hands.🇬🇧

So why haven't you heard any of this?

Because within living memory, someone rewrote the story. You got taught the crime. Not the cure.

The powerful exploited the world. They exploited their own people first. It was those people who ended slavery. 🇬🇧

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

History got rewritten once, in living memory, by no one who was ever named or held to account.

We are ordinary people doing what ordinary people have always done. Opening the books. Refusing to look away.

This is how we fight back. Fact by fact. Story by story. Name by name.

We are the home of British heroes. There is a place for you in it.

If you can afford to support what we do: https://t.co/rih7iKwnvf

Be part of us. ☝️🇬🇧 Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧

The Conversion Bill is a draconian piece of legislation designed by trans activists to prosecute parents who don't go along with pronouns, new names and irreversible medication and surgery. It has nothing to do with gay rights and everything to do with trans demands.

The new Health Secretary has stripped a minister of responsibility for a controversial puberty blocker trial after she raised what were described as “credible safeguarding warnings” about the drugs.

James Murray removed Preet Kaur Gill MP, the minister for health innovation and safety, from her leading role overseeing the Pathways trial.

The trial will involve 226 children who believe they are transgender being offered puberty-suppressing drugs, with girls as young as 11 and boys as young as 12 eligible to take part.

Ms Kaur Gill, a former social worker, has previously voiced concerns that warnings about puberty blockers were being ignored.

It now appears she has been sidelined. By the time the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) announced on 19 June that the Pathways trial could proceed with minimum age limits in place, responsibility had passed to Baroness Merron, the minister for women’s health and mental health.

A Whitehall source told The Telegraph: “If this trial had stayed the responsibility of Preet Gill, she would have rightly cancelled it, at least until the child victims of the appalling Tavistock scandal had been tracked down to find out how badly damaged they are.

“Instead, in an increasingly desperate attempt to go ahead with this shocking trial, it has been taken away from her.”

Another source accused the Health Secretary of ignoring concerns raised not only by Ms Kaur Gill but also by two other female health ministers.

The source said: “It shows women’s voices are still not being listened to on this issue, and that one man [Mr Murray] – who’s only been there for two seconds – is trying to push it through regardless.”

Ms Kaur Gill is not the first senior figure to have been sidelined during this process. In March, the MHRA announced that its chief medical and scientific officer, Professor Jacob George, whose safety concerns had led to the Pathways trial being paused, would no longer be involved.

Why aren't more doctors speaking out about folic acid?

Doctors have a duty to speak out in name of patient safety.

Where are cardiologist protecting patients with stents?

Where are oncologists protecting cancer patients?

Where are neurologistsprotecting the B12 deficient?

[Alan @A1an_M]

A few people have responded to my recent vocal anti folic acid in flour posts with "well, just don't buy it then".

Two points in response:

1. I don't eat much bread. I'm speaking out on behalf of those who do, but don't know about folic acid. Me silently avoiding white bread isn't going to help. Everyone has a right to be able to go food shopping without having to examine minute ingredient lists and worry their own government is poisoning them.

2. If we are all constantly switching away from staple foods for health reasons: avoiding white flour with folic acid, milk from sick, non-burping cows, food with toxic seed oils, apples with Apeel on the skin, and who knows what next, we will be left with an ever-diminishing list of things that are actually healthy to eat.

We all need to push back on this now, before all of our food is adulterated with God knows what.

[Kathryn Porter @KathrynPorter26]

In the past couple of weeks we've seen some worrying trends on the GB power grid with unprecedented summer margin notices and three occasions on which system operator @neso_energy was forced to ask the EU to lift intraday interconnector trading limits

But more worrying is what hasn't been widely reported - on 23 June there was persistent low frequency through the evening which NESO eventually solved by curtailing exports

Not by buying the capacity back, but by requesting "Emergency Assistance" - these aren't really requests - although the other TSO can reject the request it can't stop NESO from turning the flow off at the exit substation

Why is this worrying?

1. NESO didn't issue any warnings to the market that GB margins were tight yet it was unable to keep frequency within the safe operating limit - why not?

2. By cutting off exports to the Netherlands and France, in the absence of any system warnings, NESO has just made cutting off exports part of the normal operational toolkit. As we rely on imports in winter we might regret this move as the other countries will feel far more able to reduce their exports to us after this move

3. Did the absence of any warnings issued by NESO mean it didn't see the tight margins coming ie was it due to forecasting errors?

4. Was the system actually secure during this period? Was NESO compliant with the SQSS (requirement to at all times hold enough reserve to cover the loss of the single largest infeed - I doubt it since at times during the say the demand forecast error was higher than the required reserve holding)? Were any transmission constraints violated?

The fact there has been no discussion of this by NESO is also worrying. NESO seems to think if it keeps quiet about its challenges nobody will notice

But the demand forecasting errors are growing, as the system becomes more complex. The maximum error so far this year is almost 4x the SQSS!!

And that's the average over half an hour - the instantaneous error is likely far higher. And of course NESO balances the grid from instant to instant, not over half hours

So can NESO actually PROVE it can run the grid securely? Everyone assumes it can because we haven't had a blackout. But the absence of a disaster is not the same as safety - running into traffic isn't safe just because you're not run over every time you do it

China only overtook the U.K.’s economy in 2006.

It is now worth about 5x more than us.

I wonder how many new power stations each has built in that time.
