"The real benefit for real people is that the sun doesn’t send you a bill at the end of the month... renewables are not just a different way of powering our cars and our homes; they’re about changing power in every sense of the word." https://bit.ly/41yUE4z
"With reduced debt, Thames is a viable asset that would attract bidders to a process that, if well designed, could be completed in a matter of weeks at little or no cost to the taxpayer." But Labour would rather bake in continued failure. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Politico: "The Sun has seen evidence to [a US] committee submitted by Nigel Farage in which he suggests the White House should use “diplomacy and trade” in the free speech battle, which sounds like calling for Britain to be bullied into a law change." Is Farage calling for sanctions AGAINST the UK?

It’s a very interesting judgment, which takes the chaotic consequences that proscription has already had into account: www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/u...
![41. On one level, it is important not to draw too much from the fact that police and others appear to have misunderstood the law on some occasions. It may be anticipated that the number of such misunderstandings will diminish over time and that, if they do not, the criminal courts will make matters clear in due course. As I said at [97] of my interim relief judgment, it remains lawful to express one’s opposition to Israel’s actions in Gaza and elsewhere, including by drawing attention to what some regard as Israel’s genocide and other serious violations of international law. This can be done lawfully in private conversations, in print, on social media and at protests. It also remains lawful to express one’s support for Palestine, Palestinians, or pro-Palestinian organisations not connected with PA. Nonetheless, reports of the kind of police conduct referred to above are liable to have a chilling effect on those wishing to express legitimate political views. This effect can properly be regarded as an indirect consequence of the proscription order. 42. Secondly, and more importantly, there are numerous examples of speech which have attracted police attention where the line between legitimate and proscribed speech is more difficult to draw. Here, the police have the unenviable task of distinguishing between those seeking to express support for PA without saying so in terms and those whose intention is simply to call for action of one kind or another in relation to the situation in Palestine. Criminal courts may have to make decisions in individual cases about instances such as these. It would not be appropriate for me to say anything here about these cases, save that the existence of a large category of cases that are close to the line demonstrates that the proscription order is likely to have a significant deterrent effect on legitimate speech. This shows that the proscription order is likely to give rise to a substantial interference with rights guaranteed by the com…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:srd2elpqbgoq74tmmvghfgln/bafkreidksmxyoh6hbwiudvuky5feayc2fg56srm674a4lutfsmb5u3i7nm@jpeg "Click to view full size")
