By Paul Homewood h/t Ian Cunningham Heat pumps were supposed to coming down in price, we were told. Instead the opposite has occurred. The Telegraph report: “The cost of fitting a heat pump has risen by a third in six years despite generous government grants – leading critics to accuse installers […]

By Paul Homewood We will have to wait and see if this is just window dressing from Kemi, or the first chink in the Net Zero armour. The real problem though is that Miliband will have done so much damage by 2030 that it will prove impossible to reverse in our lifetimes. […]

These UK poll results from Matt Goodwin are disturbing. The number of adults who would refuse to fight for their country has more than doubled in 20 years from 19% to 41%. In one sense it is no surprise. When “the blob” constantly portrays your country as an oppressor, and that you should be ashamed […]

More in Common have done some fascinating research on “progressive activists” (what we might call woke activists) in the UK. They are only 8% to 10% of the UK population but dominate the media, the arts, the universities, the NGOs etc. The report divides people up into seven groups, being: Some key beliefs are: As […]

The Climate Change Committee, the UK’s official Net Zero advisory body, has told the Government that to hit Net Zero it must impose radical lifestyle changes on the UK population. The Mail has more.

I had not known of this passage, which I am packaging with its introduction from Gavan Tredoux: John Maynard Keynes has the undeserved reputation of a critic of the USSR. Few know that he reviewed Sidney and Beatrice Webb’s mendacious tome The Soviet Union: a New Civilization (1935/1937/1943) fawningly. Perhaps the most embarrassing thing Keynes […]

The American version of the Green New Deal included some subsidies for inefficient wind and solar, but it was largely just a marketing gimmick for a big expansion in the burden of government (everything from Medicare for All to student loan bailouts). The European version, by contrast, has been more focused on making energy more […]

Any British citizen that happens to hold citizenship for another country could find themselves in an invidious position. If the Home Secretary decides that it would be ‘conducive to the public good’, they can single-handedly strip a person of their citizenship, and with it, their right to remain in the country. So long as the deprivation […]

Here! I’ve been dealing with trivial stuff all day involving billing and the post office (the Black Hole of government agencies) and have had no time to right. Enjoy Stephen Fry’s hourlong talk on Triggernometry on why the American Left promoted the rise of the American Right. I’ve been saying that for a long time, […]

I guess even climate activists like Sigourney Weaver aren’t safe from the green mob.

We will no doubt muddle through again, but nobody in the media seems to be pointing to the elephant in the room; the fact that demand for electricity will start to rise rapidly as we transition to heat pumps and EVs.

By Paul Homewood Justin Rowlatt is not the only deluded clown, when it comes to Net Zero. The idiot Miliband has warned President Trump that Net Zero is unstoppable. The Telegraph report: Ed Miliband has warned Donald Trump that the rise of net zero is “unstoppable”, just hours after the President vowed to […]
