I was pleased to spend some time this week collecting donations for the Royal British Legion at Sainsbury’s in Thetford.

RBL is a remarkable charity who work tirelessly to provide support to our Armed Forces community, wherever and whenever it’s needed, and it is an honour to champion their work.

We could have had an entire Bonneville Dam worth of off shore wind coming onto our grid, but Tina Kotek killed that.
Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

I dare @timfarron.bsky.social to publish the ‘evidence’ he claims to have here that Sea Eagles “would not enhance biodiversity” & would be a “huge threat” to lambs

Ignorant & scaremongering

Reform UK’s Nigel Farage with the Russian Ambassador (that he denied meeting), and with Oleg Voloshyn's wife Nadia Borodi, Voloshyn bribed Nathan Gill.

Farage is still silent.

It’s deafening.
