Should the world’s richest man, Elon Musk have a slice of the UK energy market? I don’t think so, which is why I added my name to the petition to Ofgem demanding they reject Tesla's application to supply energy here in the UK. Join me and add your name too? act.38degrees.org.uk/act/no-to-el...
I thought this headline was a joke when I first read it, but no…it's real.
I've signed a petition telling Ofgem to reject Musk's application to supply electricity to British households. Will you join me and add your name?

Ridiculous that govt refuses to sit down with WASPI women to address their proposals.
Instead, campaigners face court battles and mounting delays after an unprecedented rejection of the PHSO’s recommendation.
This long‑standing injustice demands negotiation, not litigation.

Once again Labour have betrayed the WASPI women by blocking Stephen Flynn’s WASPI Compensation Bill.
They pledged their support to women before the election, but now that they are in power they have reneged on their promise.

Canada is potentially about to elect a Prime Minister with a PhD in economics from Oxford, Mexico elected someone with a degree in physics and a PhD in energy engineering…
Meanwhile, America elected a barely sentient orange turnip.
