The go-ahead on Jackdaw prioritises the economic effects of higher gas imports over domestic emissions. Next, harder question: which matters more the stated aim of 6GW of AI-capable data centre capacity by 2030 or the assumption it can be met by low-carbon electricity alone?

ANDREW NEIL: It's early days but I already fear Bumbling Burnham is a dud who's not up to being Prime Minister trib.al/888oRn0

Likening yourself to Athens while losing a war with the Persians is quite a move.
Nice backdrop, though.

Please @Conservatives @KemiBadenoch @griffitha please please take this down.
We should not be campaigning to keep the Triple Lock.
Not when old people actually need help with care.
Not when govt spending is already out of control.
Why didn’t you ask some of us first…?

One of the high-water marks of English Protestantism being used to conclude one of the American Pope's Masses in France? You live long enough and you'll see it all.

I fear this winter Britain is heading for the terrible trifecta: a gilt crisis, a sterling crisis, and an energy crisis. Hard times ahead.

The Tory Shadow Chancellor, @griffitha, has more private sector experience than the entire Labour Cabinet….combined.
Wild.

When Andy Burnham was born, there were 15,644 betting shops.
When he first became an MP there were 8,756 betting shops.
There are now 5,669 betting shops and he wants to tackle their "proliferation".
There's no excuse for this kind of ignorance.
"There's a real concern about high streets that have been hollowed out, particularly in former industrial areas."
Andy Burnham wants to make it harder for new vape shops and betting shops to open in England, as he seeks to revive the high street

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The number of betting shops in the UK has been declining since 2015, down from 8,995 to 5,932 in 2024.

A Labour MP texts: "We were at the beginning of the end a while back. This is the end of the end."

This is another way of saying that the UK hasn't taken fossil fuel energy security seriously for about four decades so please don't ask us to bear the consequences.

One can say another fossil fuel energy crisis shows the instability writ into fossil fuels and it does. But it also shows they are the life force of the material world and that you cannot jump off that juggernaut at will or think only of a future where they matter somewhat less.

I’ve had more than my fair share of criticisms of the lobby over the years - from outside - and from well within
But the idea that addled fuckwits like Baldwin and lunatics like Campbell get to re-write history and atone for their own poisonous behaviour over the years is a joke.
This is worth a read. But the fact is Starmer nearly fell — and yet may.
And that was fairly reported.
New Labour throwbacks are whining cause their lucrative business contacts got ousted, all while fighting decades old battles.
Chris Mason has more integrity in his little finger than the likes of Baldwin who can’t stop arse licking his mate and Campbell who pissed in the well in the first place.
Did our feral political press pack call time on Starmer prematurely? Accusations are flying ...markurban.substack.com/p/did…

In reality...
"Thanks to the choices we've made, UK interest rates and inflation are now the highest in the G7.
Our economic plan is costing jobs, raising the cost of living, damaging energy security. increasing national debt and failing to create the conditions for growth."

I'm very proud of the school reforms we put in place after 2010, building on good work by Tony Blair that we had supported in Opposition. And then, with Free Schools, we went much further. The results are in and their success is clear.

It was with the prospect of oil that the Monroe Doctrine stopped being a rhetorical posture and started to shape a US strategy to boot Britain out of the western hemisphere.
