Why do we still have oppressive defamation laws? Because of highly effective lobbying by a handful of libel lawyers, and a Government that broke its promise to act. Important investigation from Peter Geoghegan and Jenna Corderoy: www.newstatesman.com/investigatio...

I promised our analysis of the £5m gift to Nigel Farage would annoy everybody. The verdict? He probably doesn't owe any tax. Why? Because "campaigning for Brexit" isn't a taxable trade, and genuine gifts aren't income. But there are risks for him. Thread:

Apparently, the Bridge spanning Tehran was double tapped. Explains why many U.S Generals who do not condone such crimes were removed. Iranians are rallying around their flag even those in the diaspora who initially celebrated. This illegal war is becoming an all-around abysmal failure.

"All we say to America is, 'Be true to what you said on paper.'" These words — spoken by MLK Jr. shortly before he was killed on this day in 1968 — ring just as true now. Let's honor his legacy by continuing the fight for social and economic justice.

Rip-off Britain. A Gulf service station on Sloane Avenue in London’s wealthy Chelsea borough charged 299.9p (nearly £3) for a litre of petrol. They are using Trump's illegal Iran war as cover for profiteering. No regulator doing anything to check sharks.

I think a lot of people are (understandably) baffled by why gas and non-gas electricity prices are so bound up together. It does sound silly when the majority of our energy is increasingly coming from renewables & nuclear. I'll give some pointers in the following posts:

The letter argues that the UK’s electricity market is particularly exposed to gas price volatility because of its marginal pricing system. "Gas-fired power stations set the wholesale price of electricity ~85% of the time, even though gas typically produces only around a 1/4 of the UK’s electricity."

The letter, signed by all Green MPs and Peers, warns that the illegal US–Israeli war on Iran risks triggering another global fossil fuel price shock. Analysts are already predicting that the Ofgem energy price cap could rise by more than £300 from July 2026 if ministers fail to intervene.

Green Party MPs and Peers have written to the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, Ed Miliband, urging the government to decouple the price of electricity from volatile global gas markets to "protect households and businesses from another devastating surge in energy bills."
