Meeting Putin in Hungary, of all places? Hosted by the EU's most Putin-sympathetic leader? In the country with Europe's worst case of democratic backsliding? The one who hosted CPAC and did the keynote at CPAC in the US, broadcasting transnational anti-democracy solidarity? That's quite the message.

If you think the problem in this city is that my rent is too low, vote for Andrew Cuomo. If you know the problem in this city is that your rent is too high, vote for me.

That £900k house in Frinton. Has anyone mentioned how it was paid for yet? Any laws broken, or all above board? Anyone investigating? Media grown a conscience? Any journalist working for the British people? Anyone? Half way through another week of silence then.

BREAKING: Equinor has admitted that the massive Rosebank oil and gas field in the UK would cause vast climate damage. *Pretends to be shocked* 😲 The UK government must STOP Rosebank, and instead focus on creating jobs in North Sea renewables!

When I ran a coal plant we kept 7 - 14 days of coal in the pile to accommodate rail volatility. When we got below 3 we started curtailment planning to ensure critical loads were served. Anyway, please tell me more about how PV can’t work because it requires overnight on-sight energy storage.

It's pretty bonkers that the British press would bring up Jeremy Corbyn appearing on Russia Today a couple of times in the early 2000s at every opportunity, yet the Welsh leader of Reform literally pled guilty to taking money directly from the Kremlin and... Farage gets to shrug it away.

"Energy prices are likely to rise the most in states that have not prioritized clean energy". Glad to see NYT making the point I've been making for a decade+. Cheap energy is clean energy. And it's the economic issues that threaten incumbents, not the cleanliness. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/09/o...
