If you want to bring the Right on board with clean/sustainable/green energy, you have to stop calling it clean/sustainable/green energy.

It's "a new industrial revolution creating domestically-generated energy to give ourselves independence from the world's dictatorships (some Islamic)".

Complaining they were being asked to lionise Thompson rather than express legitimate concerns e.g.
1/ about an anti trust investigation relating to insider trading OR
2/ suggesting he took massive pay outs “while we at the bottom had to work harder and longer,” OR
UnitedHealthcare orders employees not to talk to the press in the wake of CEO’s murder, per internal documents. Read the leaked United records:

Accusations against slain CEO Brian Thompson are part of the story. Media should cover it.

We posted this last night and didn't actually check the reader numbers!

This article has actually been viewed just short of 300,000 times (298,965 to be precise). We're now watching closely and will celebrate in style when it hits 300k.

Well done @docrussjackson.bsky.social 👏
With Nigel Farage once more gracing our TV screens on BBC Question Time, it's time to revisit this excellent article by Dr Russ Jackson which has had over 230k reads!

At least this time Farage is an elected MP and party leader. Not so his previous 35+ times 😡

“Some 56% of farmland bought in 2023 was sold to landowners who were not working farmers. The revenue per acre is too low to warrant the purchase, unless you are extremely wealthy and are avoiding inheritance tax”
Whose land? Tax avoidance and the broken economics of British farming
Noise in the billionaire press about inheritance tax changes hides a basic fact: the non-farming rich own too much land

Nigel Farage isn't the answer to our problems, Britain. He is the cause of them.
