It was indeed a very passionate speech that ticked a lot of boxes for a lot of people who have waited many years to hear it coming from a British Prime Minister. But why was there nothing about climate change? I wasn't expecting much. But there was nothing at all!

This simple fact is UK's most urgent energy priority: 30-35% of UK's electricity is generated from burning gas because the National Grid cannot deliver cheap clean wind-generated electricity from Scotland down to London. How come it took so long for politicians to wake up about it?

Trades unions' warning over Triple Lock: Burnham's Labour government must act quickly to face down the looming crisis of Pensioner poverty, retirees facing rent rises, and the lowest state pension in Europe coupled with occupational pensions not meeting cost-of-living inflation expectations.

Inside the conference hall, Labour Party members fawn over their new leaders and applaud this woman's bravery. While outside, the-same-Labour government, arrests this same pensioner in her 90s for holding a piece of paper, because it passed a law making her a terrorist. This is so fucked up.

“It’s a tricky decision for the prime minister” It should be obvious, right? Politics before climate spells doom.

I hope Greens win Holborn. But Green's position on Jackdaw won't win it. Holborn won't be the mandate to cut UK drilling. This is a demand-side problem. A third of all UK's electricity is generated by burning gas. And Green's manifesto policy would merely green-wash the problem without solving it.

True! Rents are still going up. Rent is the No.1 relentless driver of inflation. People are trapped in rent without hope of a home of their own. Why are people forced to pay Landlords' mortgages? Why should Landlords be allowed to put up rents when their mortgage repayments are going down?

Why is desperate Starmer banging on about his social-ban being "world first" or "world's best"? Europe is ahead of the game with consequences and actions targeting actual problems of unsocial big tech. Give parents proper tools to keep kids safe. Dodgy AI facial recognition is not the answer.
