The Together Declaration is a good example. It set up the no farmers, no food campaign but has no real interest in farming. Under the pretence of supporting British farmers it's using the opportunity to recruit the politically naive to its wider, populist agenda, particularly anti-Net Zero.

I love how Trump, Vance and Musk style themselves defenders of free speech, while simultaneously banning government agencies from mentioning climate change or diversity (inc biodiversity!), equity and inclusion, or even possessing maps which show the Gulf of Mexico.

He advised government to treat climate protesters as extremists, while having clear financial links to oil and gas companies 🤔

The government gave ok for Thames Water to raise another £3bn debt at 9.75% interest, just to stay in business. Customers pay for it with higher bills.
