Suella Braverman's book PATRIOT came out today. It's 503 grams, costs £30 and tells the story of one politician's struggle against reality. Mine is currently 99p on kindle. Weighs nothing. Is all about traitors and villains... And people love it. Choices www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0F2FHD18...

Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

Crown Estate is the owner of England's seabed and charges offshore wind farms to use it But the way it has charged in the past has raised costs and looks like monopoly profiteering And it will add up to £38 to energy bills in the future, according to Oxford Uni www.thetimes.com/uk/environme...

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.
It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,

Don't be fooled into thinking that a "free market" only exists when corporations get to "self-regulate" and do whatever they want. And don't be led to think that the government is "intruding" into the market when it crafts laws to protect the public. The real issue is power — and who has it.
