Is this same Kemi Badenoch who was Secretary of State for Business for 18 months until April 2024? If so, why the hell didn’t she do that then?

Despite the enthusiasm for Zack Polanski’s leadership of the Green Party this has had no positive effect on actual elections since 2024. LibDems proved in 2019 it’s quite possible to win a large increase in the share of the vote without actually winning anything.

Geothermal energy is essentially carbon-free, it is available at any time of day and in any weather, and it leaves a small footprint on the landscape. New approaches to harnessing it may have us on the cusp of an energy revolution. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/pvWVGb
Why the Time Has Finally Come for Geothermal Energy
It used to be that drawing heat from deep in the Earth was practical only in geyser-filled places such as Iceland. But new approaches may have us on the cusp of an energy revolution.

Not only should this be how all politicians deal with Reform, this is how the media should be dealing with Reform. Call them what they are, don't use them for clickbait at the cost of our country.

I genuinely affirmatively think that it is now a democratic imperative to spend as much time as you can offline. Read more offline. Socialise more offline. Discuss media you consume with other people offline. Out there is a real world full of people looking for real human connection - seize it
Reading a bunch of books this year has really solidified for me how awful the internet is in comparison nowadays. Obviously in terms of general hostility but more generally in terms of lack of depth, insight, reading comprehension, base of knowledge, etc

This is interesting because when I went for my first Covid vaccination, Farage arrived and pushed straight to the front of the queue.
Farage: "I believe in vaccinations when they're vaccinations. I don't think what happened with Covid were vaccinations. You have to keep having them every 6 months."
Conspiratorial nonsense.
Some vaccinations like Covid shots require multiple/seasonal doses because immunity fades & viruses change.

He’s also now voting AGAINST lifting the two child benefit cap despite previously pledging to lift it. Can’t trust a word RefUK LTD say… as places that voted them in are beginning to find out! Tax rises and cuts to services… 🤔

Ok folks: what is your favorite fact that you share with people (maybe a bit too) eagerly?

There’s truth in this.
Just here to point out that Currywurst is not just the worst German sausage dish nor indeed the worst German food nor even the world's worst food but actually the worst thing in the world.

Without wishing to belittle the cause of Palestinians at all I still remain perpetually confused why people are relatively indifferent to religious fascists killing Iranians and military fascists killing Muslim minorities in Myanmar.

Dodgiest of dodgy stats from the Greens.

🗳 Which political party won the most council by-elections in 2025?
The media would have you believing it was Reform U.K.!
In fact it was the Lib Dems winning 105 and Reform on 104!

The Brexiteers didn't give a jot about Gibraltar, Northern Ireland or the dependancies. Nor about research, education, business, trade or defence. The Leave leaders wanted to avoid taxes, the Leave voters to avoid immigrants.
