Obviously the purpose of this bill is the exact opposite of what its title states .
It's not about independence at all is it.
It's about state & corporate overreach
🚨Labour’s Bill Would Let Energy Firms Dig Into Your Tax Records and House Value So They Can Charge You Extra to Subsidise Others
Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh introduced the Energy Independence Bill last week that would hand energy companies access to eight government databases, including your HMRC tax and income records, child benefit, property value and pensions.
This is a major expansion beyond the limited fuel-poverty data they already get. Official assessments openly plan “progressivity”: discounts for some households paid for by extra levies on those judged better off.
Nothing happens until the bill passes and ministers create a scheme through further legislation.
Her department calls it targeting support. The unmistakable purpose is giving private firms the power to inspect your private finances and raise your bill to subsidise everyone else.
This is not support. It is a deliberate decision to treat your private tax records and property value as legitimate tools for deciding who gets charged more, then hand that power to private energy companies.
Once the machinery exists, Labour will expand it. The only real question is how far they intend to go.

It’s hard to grasp the BBC’s systematic attempt to launder Israeli propaganda until you see the sheer scale of it. Here's a compilation of them doing it at 2x speed.
The latest was on Newsnight on 4 November. When Bernie Sanders called Israel’s government extremist, Victoria Derbyshire answered for it: “And the Israeli government would deny that they are extremists.”
As this video shows, BBC presenters repeatedly do this as guests describe Israel’s crimes: “Israel would say.” “Israel would deny.” “They would reject that.”
We counted 70 of these denials and justifications in 52 aired interviews. The BBC calls this impartiality. But in not one of those 52 did a presenter raise any of these words from Israel’s own leaders:
- “We are fighting human animals.” Yoav Gallant, 9 October 2023
- “It is an entire nation out there that is responsible.” Isaac Herzog, 12 October 2023
- “They will not receive a drop of water or a single battery until they leave the world.” Israel Katz, 13 October 2023
- “Remember what Amalek did to you.” Benjamin Netanyahu, 3 November 2023
- Starving two million people in Gaza until the hostages came back might be “justified and moral”. Bezalel Smotrich, 5 August 2024
On 10 October 2023, Tahani Mustafa told the BBC that Israeli forces were not distinguishing civilians from fighters. The presenter replied: “They would reject that.” Mustafa then had to bring up Gallant’s “human animals” herself. The BBC supplied the denial. The guest had to supply Israel’s own words.
That is cherry-picking. The Royal Charter requires the BBC to be impartial, and the public pays for it through the licence fee. In these interviews, it handed its audience Israel’s denials and left out its leaders’ own words, during a genocide streamed live to the world.
We have archived the BBC’s coverage for three years, and we are now counting all of it: 50,000 video clips and many more written excerpts.
We are calling this first part: "BBC: The Would Say Files".
Handing Israel its denials is only one of the ways the BBC launders Israeli propaganda, so we will count every other technique too. Over the next few weeks, we will announce each milestone as we complete the report.
These are the first results, with every clip, quote and source: newscord.org/editorials/bbc-…

Israel desecrated the graves of British and Australian war dead in Gaza using bulldozers
War graves tended by the same Palestinian family for over a century

1/ Excellent sleuthing by Josiah Mortimer for @BylineTimes.
The government pledged to “protect democracy from threats of foreign interference". This should apply to Israel's genocidal government just as much as to Russian oligarchs & Putin's criminal regime.

Once again it's the English that take the flak as our politicians no longer represent us
At least sometimes the other home nations politicians do
If only every £1 we all invested turned into £330m contracts within a short period 🧐
🚨 Palantir entered the NHS for £1 during Covid.
Then it became a £23.5mn contract.
Then a £330mn contract.
Now ministers admit it is so deeply embedded that removing it would be too disruptive.
Whatever the original intention, this is textbook vendor lock-in: the customer becomes dependent upon the supplier, and dependency becomes the supplier’s greatest protection.
The proposed two-year extension must therefore be treated as an emergency extraction period, not another comfortable renewal.
During that time, the government must require:
• complete data portability and open standards;
• independent access to the system architecture;
• transfer of knowledge and skills to the NHS;
• a tested migration plan with firm deadlines;
• government step-in rights; and
• a procurement process that is not designed around Palantir’s existing product.
Palantir must not be allowed to shape the problem, define the requirements and then win again because only Palantir can satisfy them.
And calling the replacement “British” is meaningless unless Britain controls its intellectual property, technology and future development.
A £1 foothold has become national dependency.
That is not sovereignty and it is precisely why sovereignty is now necessary.
If the Govt claim the reason is "patient care" then we can be absolutely certain it has nothing to do with patient care & everything to do with power & control
Times reports govt renewing NHS-Palantir contract over fear of patient disruption..proving*exactly* what critics have been saying. That we’re in a technofascist trap.

Haven't we been told constantly that online banking is more secure?
As planned! The financial destabilisation continues with more conditioning for serious cyber attacks on the banking system. This time in France
