Ed Miliband is coming for your electric towel rail in Net Zero drive - as critics brand the move 'Soviet' trib.al/6sVnB0q
Ready for takeoff? SpaceX has launched on Trading 212! 🚀 The force behind a new era of space exploration, and one of the most closely watched private companies in the world, is going public. Headlining the largest IPO in history, with a valuation of around $1.77 trillion (based on IPO price and total shares outstanding as of 12 June 2026), the company is best known for its goal of reaching Mars and making life multiplanetary, alongside its reusable rockets and the world's largest satellite network.

"Fifty years from now, academic treatises will be written about how the world was taken in by the climate madness of a pseudo-scientific doomsday cult", says Professor William Happer, warning "Climate nonsense will eventually end and will be dumped onto the ash heap of history
This is important.
Net Zero is entering a new phase. After giving Britain the highest industrial energy prices in the developed world, the same policy machine is now coming for food. The Seventh Carbon Budget means lower meat and dairy consumption, fewer livestock and changes to land use.
The Trading 212 welcome offer has reopened. If you haven't done this before, you can get a free share worth up to £100. My free share in AMD is now worth £361.04! See poundsandsense.com/get-a-free-sha… Offer closes 9 July 2026.

Today's Daily Sceptic update is here. The backlash against Net Zero gobbledegook is unstoppable, says Ben Pile; can any stop Burnham, asks Mark Littlewood; and councils tell residents not to hang England Flags during World Cup Because it is unwell and divisive. dailysceptic.org/todays-update/

"This is the cost of Net Zero. Thousands of jobs and livelihoods lost. Factories that were once the lifeblood of a community decommissioned. And the memory of all of the remarkable things our nation once produced, vanishing without a trace." @jameswoudhuysen #CostOfNetZero
🚨 Breaking - Britain’s economy went backwards in April. 📉 GDP fell 0.1% 🏪 Services fell 0.2% 🏭 Production was flat 🏗️ Construction rose just 0.1% Rachel Reeves promised growth. Instead, the economy is stalling. How much longer can Labour blame everyone else?
EDF Energy have enhanced their switching offer! Until 13 July 2026 you can get a FREE £75 (increased from £50) credited to your energy account when you switch to EDF via my link (below). Terms and conditions apply edfenergy.com/quote/refer-a-… #Ad
Here in Staffordshire the temperature today is just 10 degrees and I have put the central heating back on. Never mind global warming, it feels as though we're heading into a new Ice Age.
Labour’s goal of 'dynamic alignment' with the EU is bad news for the party's beloved Net Zero, says Ben Pile. Even more than in Britain, the backlash in Europe against ruinous climate policies is gathering steam. dailysceptic.org/2026/06/11/the…
