UK carbon dioxide plant to reopen over fears of shortages linked to Iran war Business secretary approves £100mn plan to restart Ensus plant in north-east England for three months initially

This plant was closed thanks to last year’s trade deal with Trump. Now the government is forced to reopen it because of Trump’s war on Iran.

A lesson - any deal with Trump only undermines our resilience and security.

The US trade deal is a bad deal, and it has the potential to get worse www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/05... Someone should tell Starmer that sometimes (by which I mean usually, or even always) no deal is better than a bad deal, because that is what he's got with the USA.

The Faragists will be victims of their own success. The dog that caught the car. They are incompetent charlatans and now in positions where they will be expected to improve things and they will prove not just unable to but uninterested in doing so.

Farage might be proud of his election swing...
but, then, so were Boris Johnson (2019), and Starmer (2024)
It was Johnson and his dishonesty that ultimately triggered the demise of the Tories
Starmer has ignored concerns of Labour members

How long will Farage's honeymoon last...Less than Trump's?

If the Green Party had the same coverage as Reform it would be them winning in a landslide.

But of course the Green Party would actually tax the billionaires, so they won't platform them.
