The zealots for net zero tell us renewable electricity will be cheaper. So far, the more renewables they put in, the dearer our power becomes. The UK has gone much further than China, the US and Germany in closing down coal and gas and has ended up with far dearer energy. Just look at your latest fuel bill to see the results of bad policy. Enter Tony Blair. He has warned his old party that their plan to get rid of all fossil fuels is impractical and wrong.

When Vice President JD Vance gave a speech in Europe attacking countries for denying free speech, he took his audience by surprise. He came prepared and gave live examples, including a UK case about people's rights near abortion clinics. His audience did not see themselves as censors breaking the long-held position of Western democracies that freedom of speech matters.

The EU is insisting on a so called Youth Opportunities Scheme. This means anyone between the ages of 18 and 30 would have the right to come to live, study and work in the UK. That age group is very mobile, with most too young to have saved money or to have got a well-paid job. The UK is already accepting far too many low paid and no-pay migrants, legal and illegal. We are short of homes to rent, short of water, electricity and broadband provision, short of public services for them.

The IMF took their growth forecast down to 1.1% for 2025 whilst raising their inflation forecast to 3.1% for this year. They blamed the government's increases in managed energy prices, water prices and the movement up in the longer term interest rate. This followed from the budget which worried markets with too much borrowing. On cue the borrowing figures for the year ended March 2025 came in £15bn above the recent OBR forecast.

The government‘s idea of closer links with the EU is to help EU exports to us whilst closing down our industries at home. They want the EU to sell us more of our own fish, more of their gas and electricity, and more food whilst our farms are undermined.
The UK cannot be best friends with China, the USA and EU all at the same time. The immediate national interest is to get a trade deal with the USA. China and the EU are not about to offer us a good deal.
Mr Miliband says we must switch from gas to elecricity because it will be cheaper. My bill says electricity is four times the cost of gas per unit of energy. Consumers do not believe he is going to cut electricity costs to beat gas.
