African governments should demand that the African Development Bank and World Bank restore financing for fossil fuel plants and for the infrastructure to connect them to consumers.

Whatever GBG is or will be, it’s certainly not yet a proposition as radical as the re-nationalisation of the National Grid (which I would only advocate as punishment for the corporation’s rent-seeking and support for Net Zero). But there is the danger that the Government will respond to its own continued policy failures by doubling down. Vibes will beget more radical vibes. And what songs will Burnham then choose to underscore his speeches on social media? How about Joy Division’s ‘Day of the Lords’: “Where will it end? Where will it end? Where will it end?

Vladimir Putin's Russia makes an unusually convenient target: distant enough to be safely feared, weak enough (on Mr Rutte's own telling) to be safely provoked, and useful enough, as an organising threat, to justify the curtailments of speech and dissent that a discredited establishment now finds it needs. Europeans and Britons alike would do well to ask, before this logic runs its course, who exactly is being asked to do the dying, and in whose interest.

It is past-due time to make upgrading America’s grid a national priority. Preparing for the inevitable CME should be a foundational pillar of that effort.
