I don't know why this is so hard for some people to grasp. If we extend our use of fossil gas, rather than going all-out for grid batteries, heat pumps and induction hobs, we extend our dependence on *foreign* sources of gas, regardless of whether we also use the UK's last remaining reserves. 🧵
While Donald Trump threatens war crimes against Iran tonight, VP JD Vance is in Hungary trying to help Viktor Orban get reelected.
How’s this “America First,” MAGA?

I deserve a holiday, though…
All of Us Should Be Able To Agree With This…..
“Huge strategic defeat for the US, biggest loss since Vietnam.”
Marco Rubio is spineless and complicit.
Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

Brilliant contribution from Tavis on @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk show this morning regarding renewables. But I guess we've had enough of experts! 🤔
Fabulous first hour on @mrjamesob.bsky.social LBC programme.
Genuinely nice and brilliant experts talking about energy and climate issues.
Try and listen on catch up!
Headline: 'Kemi will cut £200 off bills by drilling in North Sea'.
Actual quote: 'I'm not saying it's going to go onto your bills'.
@mrjamesob.bsky.social wants to know what's going on with the 'drill baby drill' brigade.
Oh.
A NEW poll shared with Zeteo shows Trump’s approval falling to *33%*
The lowest ever.
Per the poll, Americans believe Trump’s attacks on Iran are meant to distract from the Epstein files, 50-30.
Only 35% say he’s handled immigration well.
60% say he hasn't.
Am not an energy analyst but why does seem every interview with a U.K. minister this week included a pointed question about why not drilling more in North Sea and almost none about renewables/net zero as an energy security imperative?
It’s bizarre, frankly
It’s very, very good. And quite alarming. The response would be heartbreaking if Goodwin deserved a single scintilla of your sympathy.
How does it end?
BMA versus the Government.

I’m not sure Farage can sack his leader in Scotland for homophobic ‘jokes’ without resurrecting the (imo) much worse homophobic ‘joke’ that Farage told at his brother’s wedding.
A jury determined that Meta and Google were negligent and failed to warn users of the dangers associated with using YouTube, Instagram in a landmark social media addiction trial
It won’t last but reporting everything Trump does through the lens of his obvious derangement & dishonesty no longer feels quite so lonely. open.spotify.com/episode/55AW...
Important for understanding the context for Farage’s witless opposition to ‘net zero’.
Donald Trump is pressuring Republicans to restrict mail-in voting for everybody else — while he’s sitting at home voting by mail himself?
He's literally urging Republicans to withhold TSA agent’s paychecks until they pass his voter suppression bill — the so-called “SAVE America Act”.
I may be misremembering but I think Andrew Neil was extremely rude to people on Twitter who explained exactly what GBeebies would quickly become…
Bravo. It also occurred to me that the bigoted idiot Nick Timothy is effectively calling for the prohibition of faith-based funerals. A thought prompted by a horrible story I will post as a reply to this one…

It is a fool's game to say who will end up "winning" this war. Yet, if you are the USA/Israel and planned it, started it, and more than three weeks into it are undertaking an unexpected escalation while relaxing sanctions on Iran--that is hardly a sign of victory at this time.
More of a toll than a tariff, but still…
