Zombie Energy Sec.
He died in 2023.

You could also mention the epidemic of the fucking *flu* that killed more US soldiers than the Germans in WWI!

Amazing watching Team Olly and Team Keir snarl at each other on here.

Luxury!

Things may have changed, but it used to be against advertising rules to quote ’interest free credit’ if you could get it cheaper by paying up front, so the *same supplier* may not give any cash discount.
This is not to say they don’t build in the cost of the credit…

This piece says that Trump ‘mines social media & the internet for mentions of his name’.
Do you think he also keys in ‘Mad King Donald’ and ‘The Mad Orange King’?
If not he’s missing a lot of data.

I mean it’s the obvious question and it’s unanswerable. US security guarantees obviously count for shit.

Ed Miliband to double down on net zero with measures to combat Iran energy shock As fossil fuel prices soar ‘the era of clean energy security must come of age’, energy secretary will say

Good. 👏

Wonder if you ever met the Irish Border 🐘?

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

Ah, but on 12th July 1690, the Pope was backing William of Orange vs James II…

The USA is a place with no healthcare, but 1000 billionaires. At least 49 of those billionaires made all their money from Private Healthcare. Perhaps you can connect the dots. @BladeoftheSun BRIAN TYLER COHEN

And Fartrage wants us to be just the same.

I fear AMOC collapse will finish the ‘moderate climate’.

The first invited talk I went to at university was by Alex Harvey.
It was about a tea party or something, and he was quite loud.

The next week I stuck to Physics and attended “AC/DC”.

Everyone involved in the VIP Lane contracts should be in gaol.

Ah, yes. Reform KCC who just sold off a load of Council artwork for peanuts.

(Apart from the Anthony Gormley, anyone know who bought them?)

Sorry to hear that.

In other news, Ford is 2 months into their 2026 Annual Recall of Ford Kuga PHEVs

In 2025’s Recall the instruction (from Feb to June) was “Don’t PLUG IN your Plug In HEV!”
Thanks for the big fuel cost hit, Ford

This year it’s “Don’t charge to >80% or use in pure EV /hold charge modes!”

Somewhere Bismarck is looking down in confusion as Germany projects power by sending 4,000 pensioners, 12 buffet stations and a TUI loyalty program through the Strait of Hormuz

Also the implication that he’s so important that missing some important meeting would only have the consequence that unimportant people would have to postpone it for a day until the special one slithered in the door a day late.

AMOC Time.

This issue has got a lot better for me since I promoted a pair of pliers to the kitchen cabinet.

Also. What’s a ‘median voter’ in these non-quantitative issues?

Is it ‘sounds-technical-and-must-be-true’ for the voter previously known as ‘the silent majority’
(i.e. ‘what-the -author-believes’?)

Chart showing situations in which people say they don’t swear (eg in front of kids, in public…). Belfast gets 3 of the 5 top spots.

In other news, Belfast people are accomplished liars:

5 day European stocks chart showing a big jump up in response to ‘deal’ statement from the Mad Orange Gangster & a big fall from ‘no deal’ statement.

Lucy pulls the ball away from Charlie Brown. Again

So, fund managers…about the very high income you make from managing my pension pot - and the deep financial & economic insights that earn this for you.
Can you explain how you fall for this trick every time…?

OG Goldfinger?

It was helpful of Palantir to name themselves after a sophisticated surveillance device that utterly corrupted and demoralised those who came to rely upon it. Just in case we were at all unclear on what they were up to.

Well, I didn’t think I was being impolite in the way I expressed my view of the core motivation of the illusory ‘sovereignty’ argument but sure …bye 👋
