When Rishi Sunak made the Vaccine deal with Moderna as Chancellor, he had up to £530m invested in Moderna.

Now Michelle Mone is desperately bringing it up.

Like if you want Mone on trial.
RT if you want them both facing the music.

My and @marcowenjones' investigation of the influence operation that we estimate spent over £100K, and reached ~6.5M people in the UK, with anti-immigrant/-Muslim fearmongering, in the months leading up to the election and the riots, mentioned in the latest @PrivateEyeNews.

.@jdportes right that UK pols need to start telling truth. Vast majority of immigrants come via visa route. They pay fees, NHS surcharge of £1k year and then taxes, rents etc. And yet 70pc believe immigrants are a burden on NHS. Wrong.

According to @EmberClimate's report, @DraxGroup was the UK’s largest carbon emitter in 2023, with 11.5 million tonnes of CO2 — despite receiving over £500 million in subsidies for biomass energy. The report highlights concerns about burning wood pellets. https://t.co/kgZ9CUdY5u

30% of global electricity in 2023 was generated by renewables, a record high per @EmberClimate's Global Electricity Review. It says the world is at a turning point where solar and wind not only slow emissions growth, but actually start to push fossil generation into decline.

UK Riots: Ringleaders Identified

The new Private Eye is out now.

[Liz Webster @LizWebsterSBF]

We need to join the Single Market/Customs Union to protect our food system. Brexit is destroying British food:

🍆 Post-Brexit rules that came into force on the 30 April require import checks on a number of plant and animal products at border control posts.

🍅 Vegetable growers in the UK have said crops could be adversely hit this year after post-Brexit border changes resulted in delays to seed imports.

🫑 Trade bodies representing UK tomato and pepper growers said new rules for seed imports from the EU were causing delays of up to six weeks for deliveries, disrupting their growing schedules and finances.

🥒 The British Tomato Growers’ Association (BTGA) said the delays were threatening yields and reducing the profitability of growers, while the Cucumber and Pepper Growers’ Association (CPGA) said the significant holdups were causing “costly crop delays” for some members.

BREAKING: The European Union has issued a formal letter to Elon Musk, demanding that he censor Donald Trump in their upcoming interview.

The EU warns of "legal obligations" if Musk does not take action to prevent the spread of "disinformation."

I agree we need Welfare Reform.

Stop letting the rich dodge their taxes.

[Paul @whittpau]

@mikegalsworthy It's not about that, it's the same old racist Telegraph BS from a more oblique angle because they have to hide it after the riots backlash. They need shutting down.
