The UK has the highest industrial electricity prices in Europe.
Upto 132% higher than the EU14 median. Five times more than in Finland.
Since 2020, UK's 20 largest energy companies have made £514bn operating profit, destroying businesses and households.

The Commission isn't keen on the UK joining PEM. This, I believe, reflects a view in Brussels that anything left out of the Lancaster House package is, for now, off the table. Understandably frustrating for the UK govt, but unlikely to shift before the next summit.

I dislike analyses like these, which claim to estimate the "share" of climate change that is "caused" by the wealthiest 10%, 1%, or whatever.
They are rarely what they seem to be -- especially in popular media.

By focusing on immigration and the Reform UK agenda, Labour effectively vindicate the belief that migrants are the reason they aren't better off, with better public services. They are creating more Reform UK voters.
It's morally wrong and politically suicidal.
