You probably won’t see this in mainstream media - aka the right wing press - coz it’s against their narrative. Wind energy in Britain broke a new record last week with nearly 23GW on the grid one cold windy evening.

Labour is no longer the party of trade unions or the NHS. It's time for unions to stop funding them and for voters to vote Green, to actually support a properly funded and staffed NHS.
