In place of cheap, reliable energy, Ed Miliband has been busy summoning up green unicorns with taxpayers' cash, says Ben Pile. The latest non-solutions are carbon capture and flywheels. No, they aren't going to work.
Keir Starmer has refused to say whether he would sign away other British overseas territories such as Gibraltar and the Falklands after handing the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, an ally of China.
£22bn on carbon capture? It's hard to think of a more stupid waste of public money, says Paul Homewood. At best, just 8.5m of the UK's 327m tonnes of CO2 will be 'captured' – and a load will be emitted in the process!
The Government has pledged nearly £22bn for carbon capture and storage projects in a move that has united sceptics and alarmists in condemnation of the expensive and unproven technology.
As Labour prepares to deliver a Net Zero coup de grâce to the industries that made Britain, there are signs of workers beginning to organise their own defence. But alas, it's doomed to fail, says Ben Pile.
Labour's planned changes to employment law – ramping up trade union power and workers' rights – are already stifling the economy in anticipation, and they haven't even come in yet, says Steve Chilcott.
Keir Starmer has given up the Chagos Islands, handing the Indian Ocean territory to China-ally Mauritius after 200 years of British rule.
Keir Starmer has paid back more than £6,000 worth of gifts – including Taylor Swift tickets and clothes for his wife – as donor Lord Alli is probed by the Parliamentary watchdog for "non-registration of interests".
Microsoft has 'bought' the Three Mile Island nuclear power station in Pennsylvania to run its energy-hungry AI data centres. It's showing us the future, says Nick Bowler.
Ed Miliband's brother David is being paid by a venture capital outfit that is likely to benefit from his brother's Net Zero policies, it has emerged. But this conflict of interest has not been publicly declared.
