I do challenge the advice about stockpiling Sauvignon blanc.
Surely better to stockpile a red - because if the power goes down, the white would be room temperature, which would be simply ghastly.

We are getting there! Coming to our senses one by one...
Excl: Labour’s energy policy is “batshit crazy” and the department overseeing net zero is “basically the ministry for P45s”, one of Britain’s most powerful union leaders has said.
In an interview with The Times, Gary Smith accused the government of relying on “sticking-plaster politics” while companies struggled with high energy costs and warned that rising energy bills would create a raft of fresh strikes across the public and private sector.
On Jackdaw and Rosebank he said: “If they do not do this, it will damage hugely the government’s credibility, and it will massively damage investment because that infrastructure, as I understand it, is ready to go — billions of investment. And if it does not now happen, who in their right mind is going to put money into this country?”

How do you say in Arabic “we hit the gate doing 98, I said “let them truckers roll, 10-4””

Fuel Prices: 2008 vs 2026.
So tell me — is this really all down to Trump and global oil prices, or are fuel companies and the UK Government taking us for a ride too? 🤔

When Labour say 'devolution', what they really mean is more politicians, higher taxes, and more interference in our lives.
They'll let mayors put our taxes up, but never cut them.
Taking more of people's money and calling it 'empowerment' is completely outrageous.

An apt day to remember that Dolly Parton once recorded a cover of Stairway to Heaven - and, in defiance of every moral law in the universe, she absolutely owned it.

This is the best advice anyone with wheat in the store will read.
Just because you want more, the market doesn't care.

Worst chancellor for rural communities in recent history… killed the emergent rural Labour vote for years to come
Absolute disaster zone
Absolutely failed to listen when the emerging disaster was explained
It has been the privilege of my life to serve as the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
The economy today is stronger, fairer and more resilient because of the choices we have taken as a Labour Government over the past two years.
Stability restored, investment delivered and reform to our economy under way. I said when I was appointed Chancellor that I would judge my time in office if the lives ordinary working class people have been improved. I’m proud to say that they have.
And to every young woman and girl let my time in office show there should be no ceilings on your ambitions, your hopes or your dreams.
I wish the very best of luck to my successor, Andy and his cabinet. You have my full support, and I will continue to play my part in helping this Labour government deliver the change the country needs.

One of my favourite Falklands facts:
When the referendum was held in 2013 about whether they wished to remain British or become part of Argentina only 3 people voted for Argentina.
There were 18 Argentinians living on the island at the time…

Their appearance at the Hoppings was probably still the band’s finest hour. Look out for the Lord Mayor of Newcastle in her tricorne hat

The demise of Starmer and Reeves will be immensely satisfying for about five minutes until their potential successors emerge who will take batshit bonkers treason and economic terror to new heights.

Why is it always "seize the means of production" and never "create the means of production"?

I don't think anyone has thought this war through. If Dubai collapses, our countries are going to be flooded by influencers, tax dodgers, and fucking idiots.

No we don't, Natalie! I manage land but don't access all of it - I'd be treading on skylark nests today, and disturbing sleeping hares. We need to put nature's needs first, not ours. More access but directed access plus areas where humans cannot go esp during breeding season

The tragedy of modern Green politics: genuine environmental concerns — soil degradation, river pollution, habitat loss — have been abandoned in favour of a net zero agenda that serves technocrats and lobbyists.
I care deeply about the environment. That's precisely why I don't trust the Greens with it.
