The UK electricity is already the most expensive in the world.
Price set to rise again in October as Ofgem's pricing formula lets companies rip people off.

How many perpetrators of domestic violence, or child abuse, or sexual assault will Yvette Cooper release early to imprison people aghast at the genocide in Palestine, and her authoritarian response, and wanting to speak of it?

We have had a report saying two women walking up to a protest today at BAe Samlesbury were stopped by Lancashire Police and advised to remove their t-shirts that say 'Free Palestine', as it may "breach the proscription order".
And so it begins.

The UK duopoly's nationwide rollout of 12 deregulated freeports and 74 SEZs is a violation of UK citizens' sovereignty.

Yesterday Mark Carney was told, “Mr Carney, there’s a genocide in Palestine”.
“I’m aware,” Carney told the protester, “That’s why we have an arms embargo.”
This has really, really upset Benjamin Netanyahu, so don't RT unless you hate him.

This is blatant corruption by the Trump regime (and crime family) - in the middle of a financial crisis that Trump’s trade war triggered, costing average Americans their pensions.

(1/4) The ongoing market response to last week’s US tariff announcement was both predictable and preventable. Even if you agree with the premise of these tariffs, every reasonable effort should be made to give US companies sufficient time to adapt.

1200 Europeans died fighting to defend the US during the War in Afghanistan. Thousands more suffered life-altering injuries.
European countries spent $50 billion on that war - the only time NATO Art.5 has ever been invoked.
Yet, Europeans are "pathetic" free-loaders, according to Hegseth & Vance.
