Over 35 years in healthcare, still championing the NHS, we fixed it before & we can fix it again.

The photo is of VE DAY. You'd think that if you were going to go to the trouble of appropriating other people's efforts you'd at least fact check the photo. But no. This is Robert Jenrick..
Jenrick 

Today is VJ Day.


We remember the greatest generation, who
fought and served our country, often with
unfathomable courage.


We must strive to make Britain a country they
would recognise and be proud of again

So, a joke MP with 5 houses bought for cash, links to criminality and a £5Mill ‘gift’ in his bank… is so enraged at being held to account… that he resigns from the MP role he never did anyway…and demands a “people v the establishment” by-election to vote him back in. What an insufferable wanker.

Denmark has a new king, the King and Queen get approximately $500,000 from the Danish Government a year, and the whole family is worth $40m. In the UK King Charles gets $180,000,000 a year and his family is worth $25bn. We need to be more like Denmark.

This might be one of the funniest chart about energy scenarios I’ve seen. You can hardly see “actual” for gas
Winners and Losers
The IEA overestimated gas growth in Asia and underestimated solar

Gas
• Forecast 547 TWh
• Actual 17 TWh

Solar
• Forecast 465 TWh
• Actual 1,333 TWh

Note: Shows expected growth in Asian power generation between 2018 and 2025, based on actual 2018 generation, actual 2025 generation, and the 2018 World Energy Outlook's Current Policies Scenario estimates for 2025. Actual 2025 generation figures are from Ember.

Their promises of more jobs, more trade, more power for Britain have proved a con, Michael Heseltine writes as the Brexit vote 10th anniversary approaches. Never have so few done so much damage to so many with so little ability to execute what they lied about. Their scandalously false prospectus has turned to dust and ashes.
