Shadow energy secretary Claire Coutinho keeps saying the "UK is the only country in the world banning new oil and gas licenses". It's completely untrue. Denmark, France, Spain & Ireland have all done the same. She went completely unchallenged on Talk this AM when she repeated it.

If SNP look close to a majority, with Labour and Reform competing to be the opposition, it should be clear that the indy movement, including SNP, should be lending their 2nd vote to the Greens to put them in opposition. 𝗔𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝟮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲.

The UK agreed to a deal in which the NHS has to pay £3bn a year more for US drugs. The only thing we got was an agreement the UK would face no tariffs. The US broke that deal the UK pays a 10% tariff on everything. The deal must be torn up and no money stolen from the NHS.

Good point in the Observer today: it would cost peanuts in the grand scheme of things to remove large private donations from political parties - and with it, much of the stench of corruption that hangs over UK politics
"It would not be right," Nick Clegg said, "to ask our hard-pressed taxpayers to pay more to political parties at a time when they are having to deal with so many cuts and savings elsewhere."

We do pay; the question that has never really been asked is: how much do we want to pay? Today, taxpayers (or the 47 million registered voters in Britain) would each have to chip in about £1.75 a year – yes, a year – to completely fund political parties at their current level.

Hard-pressed or not, they may think that a price worth paying to avoid the cash-for-access and influence-peddling scandals that have dogged Conservative governments, or the questions about why Labour has accepted £8m in donations from the Unite union since it last filed a full set of accounts in 2020 – and those while it confronted a barrage of corruption allegations.

An increase in the state funding of politics would make the UK less of an outlier on the European scene...

The Reform UK “has been converting crypto donations into cash before they reach the party’s coffers, obscuring the original sources of the funding”. So, if the Russians or the US techno-oligarchy decide to boost Nigel Farage’s electoral campaigning, we may not even know. observer.co.uk/news/national

One of the cool things you learn about being retired is time is irrelevant. Have pancakes for dinner. Have a run at midnight. Clean your house at 3am. Or just sit and do nothing. It’s kinda cool. Yet, always keep yourself busy or you will lose your mind.
