NEW: Expensive gas still biggest driver of high UK electricity bills, says UKERC
"Volatile, gas-linked market prices – not green policies, as some misleading claims have suggested – dominate the real-terms increase in bills since 2021."

Three independent commissions have backed devolving policing to Wales.
Scotland, Northern Ireland – even London and Manchester – have powers over policing.
Asked if Wales should too, the Home Secretary says:
“No I do not.”
Labour has no respect for Wales.

Europe may begin selling U.S. assets in response to a new conflict with the US—a move that could trigger a dollar collapse, Bloomberg reports. Deutsche Bank analysts warn Washington’s key vulnerability is living off global financing—and Europe may decide it no longer wants to bankroll the U.S.

You have to wonder how many of these Tory defectors to Reform have been promised places on the list for the Senedd election. I'm old enough to remember Mark Reckless being parachuted in by UKIP. Morons in Cymru who would never vote Tory are now going to be handing seats to the worst of the bunch...

The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974.
And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself.

If they're going to give millionaire farmers back their tax break, then the least they should have done was to up the rate to the full 40% for the multi-millionaire farmers...
Mad timing, announcement dribbled out on December 23 - Labour waters down plan to make farmers pay IHT on their agricultural land: www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...
Labour waters down its hated inheritance tax raid on farmers
Under the original plan farmers faced paying IHT at a 20 per cent rate on land worth more than £1million from April. Defra today lifted that threshold to £2.5million.
