This is sovereignty. 'Wind and solar generated a record 41% share of the UK’s electricity needs in 2026 to date, compared with 25% from gas, avoiding the need for gas imports worth £5.9bn since the outbreak of war between the US and Iran in February.' www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-win...
We're playing this on Saturday. We've just had a practice and I don't mind saying, not only is it the best we've ever sounded, but we're the best band in the world right now. Every band should believe that about themselves and right now, it's as true as the sky is blue. Get in.

7-year sentence handed down to Oleg Bessedin for anti-Estonia activities. Work for russian SVR, pay the price. His handler Sergei Nalobin is, among other things, releted to Brexit campaign and arson of the home of British PM K.Starmer. news.err.ee/1610150341/7...

We just dropped a bombshell investigation into ChatGPT's role in the Tumbler Ridge mass shooting. Incredible reporting from @markfollman.bsky.social that will have far-reaching effects...hopefully: www.motherjones.com/media/2026/0...

Over the last few months these guys made me proud to be British: kind, practical, profoundly moral, a testament to this island. Now they're targeted by the very worst of us. I just gave them a bunch of money. You should too. Show those fascist clowns what's what. rnli.org/support-us/g...

CITIZENS OF THE UK! I need you to stop what you're doing and watch this 20 minute BBC documentary from 1972 about a new potato-based snack. One that's a bit like crisps but nobody is confident the public will embrace. I think 54 years later we know the answer to that question.
