Having Energy sold at cost would save the UK £1,000 per household and be a massive boon to the economy.
Instead you pay £30bn extra which goes almost entirely to people who don't live, pay tax or spend money in the UK.

COP30 overpromised, underdelivered, empowered distractions, backtracked on issues and once again gave big oil and big ag a free pass.
Unfortunately, the suspicions of climate scientists (here in Brazil and abroad) were confirmed again.

Calling Long COVID a “shadow” and claiming the acute phase has “faded” is misleading.
COVID hasn’t faded, it still causes waves of ongoing transmission, repeat infections, hospital pressure, Long COVID and deaths. It’s not a shadow; it’s still shining a light on an ongoing crisis.
