Why in the year 2025 do UK Energy Performance Certificates still recommend people to install new fossil fuel heating systems but never recommend a heat pump? I have written about this issue 6 years ago. If you want to read my old article you can find it here: foresightmedia.com/historie/swp...

Farage is lying to Congress. He has banned journalists from his events. @bylinetimes.bsky.social, @desmog.com, @thenewworldmag.bsky.social and others were banned from Reform UK’s conference in Sept 2024 - even after buying tickets. @femi-oluwole.bsky.social was also removed from a Reform UK event.
Adam Schwarz (@adamjschwarz.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
@jamesrball.com and @writesbright.bsky.social have confirmed they're also banned from this year's Reform UK national conference. They were informed today. So Farage explicitly told Congress that he doesn't ban journalists from Reform events on the exact day that he banned journalists from events.
Adam Schwarz (@adamjschwarz.bsky.social) reposted
Democrat @raskin.house.gov excoriates Nigel Farage for banning journalists from Reform UK events: "I'm asking you a direct question. Why do you ban journalists who oppose your views from coming to your events? Why did you tell local government not to do interviews with your local newspaper?"

Raskin: "The dictators of the world have got nothing to fear from this hearing. Republicans called it to attack our democratic allies in Europe. The star witness is not a human rights leader like Navalny, but a far-right pro-Putin politician who leads the UK Reform Party."

This is an INSANE decision by the E.U. “By signing up to mutual recognition of vehicle standards with the U.S., the E.U. has waved the white flag on road safety. This is not a technical detail – it is a political choice that puts trade convenience ahead of saving lives.” This will kill people.
