    London mayor points to ‘terrifying scenes’ this summer amid speculation Burnham may back Jackdaw and Rosebank projects

    Sadiq Khan has called on the government to commit to revamped climate action and to reduce the UK’s reliance on oil and gas, as the UK endures a summer of drought, wildfires and heatwaves.

    Writing in the Guardian, the mayor of London said that Andy Burnham’s administration must reaffirm its commitment to net zero and make clear it will continue to reduce the UK’s reliance on oil and gas “to get Britain back on track.”

    There is growing concern among Labour MPs and climate experts that the new prime minister may support renewed drilling for oil and gas in the North Sea; since arriving in No 10, Burnham has remained largely tight-lipped on climate and environmental concerns despite speaking out about them during his time as mayor of Greater Manchester.

    Last month, Burnham said he would be “pragmatic” about oil and gas and that decisions on new drilling would be made “in due course”. “The question isn’t whether Britain will still be using oil and gas, the question is where does it come from,” he said.

    Slovakia reaches new high of 42C as authorities in Poland forced to shut down Kozienice and Połaniec power plants

    Temperature records have been broken in several countries across central and eastern Europe as the extreme weather that has caused wildfires and droughts across the continent continues.

    Countries including Slovakia, Austria and Hungary registered record temperatures. On Thursday, the Slovakian hydrometeorological agency said a new high of 42C (108F) had been reached in Dolné Plachtince.

    Authorities in Poland were forced to shut down the Kozienice and Połaniec coal-fired power plants after critically low water levels in the Vistula River limited cooling water supplies. The disruption removed about 1.3GW of capacity from Poland’s power system.

    On Wednesday, the Polish prime minister, Donald Tusk, had urged employers to look after their staff and provide air conditioning and cold water.

    In Germany, climate activists demanding an end to the use of fossil fuels demonstrated outside the chancellery against the lack of government action to keep people safe from extreme heat. An estimated 11,900 people across the country have died from heat this summer, according to new estimates from the Robert Koch Institute.

  • Draft: Farage and Reform UK

    Spread the love

    A few thoughts about Nigel Farage and Reform UK.

    It’s all about Nigel Farage, it’s what Farage decides on a whim.
    Reform is a limited company – Reform 2025 Ltd – rather than political party. There is no internal democracy – party members deciding policy – just the board and the leader Nigel Farage deciding.

    I certainly get the impression that Farage’s Reform are total whores to money. Just like Donald Trump they are businessmen approaching politics as a business with the intention of achieving power and then trading that power, simply being whores.

    Reform’s policies follow Donald Trump’s very closely e.g. a UK Doge to make swinging cuts, denial of the climate crisis when it’s blatantly obvious to anyone who’s awake and has a functioning brain.

    Nigel Farage likes to present himself as anti-establishment as Donald Trump does. It’s total nonsense, Farage attended posh boys schools, was employed as a stockbroker, gets £5MILLION ‘gifts’ from foreign billionaires.

    Reform chief Nigel Farage is facing comedy candidates including Count Binfance in next week’s Clacton by-election after major political rivals boycotted the contest

    Nigel Farage’s Clacton by-election fight will cost taxpayers an estimated quarter of a million pounds, an official has suggested.

    The Reform chief is facing comedy candidates including Count Binfance in next week’s vote after major political rivals boycotted the contest. They accused him last month of a political stunt last month for triggering the vote amid a Commons probe over a £5million gift received from a Thai-based crypto billionaire.

    Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Today, chief executive of Tendering district council, Ian Davidson, said the ballot paper with 34 candidates was just under a metre long.

    He said: “We’ve got 34 candidates, which is the most number of candidates any parliamentary election has ever had. And the ballot paper is just under a metre a long. The cost of actually printing, running, and posting things like that is about four times the cost of the General Election where we had five candidates.”
