I must have been extra good this year because my prezzie list is overflowing with bounty: But there’s one present that Santa could bring me for Christmas: the complete and utter destruction of the Justin Castrudeau government in Canada – and it’s close to happening: Now, the Liberal Party is imploding in Canada. They were […]

By Paul Homewood h/t Paul Kolk Why does Miliband think he has the right to spend our money as he sees fit? Ministers have been forced to step in and rescue a wind turbine factory after collapsing demand for blades pushed it to near collapse. Wind turbine maker Vestas on Wednesday said […]

Ignore the Thatcher comparison. She’s much less combative for a start, it’s still early in her time in politics at the upper levels – in fact she’s only been an MP since 2017 – and she would not be the first very smart person who fails at political leadership, especially when she won’t get a […]

By Paul Homewood h/t Paul Kolk British bill payers have spent an “absurd” £1bn to temporarily switch off wind turbines so far this year as the grid struggles to cope with their power. The amount of wind power “curtailed” in the first 11 months of 2024 stood at about 6.6 terawatt hours (TWh), […]

The question of separating constitutional powers in Jersey is more complex than it appears. Here’s why. Jersey and Guernsey are unique globally in having constitutions that in the ancient office of Bailiff fuse together the roles of chief justice and presiding officer of their respective courts and parliaments. As I argue, this is further complicated […]

By Paul Homewood . As we are well aware, the UK has some of the highest electricity prices in the world. It is commonly claimed that the rapid price rise in recent years has been driven by the soaring price of natural gas. In fact, this is only a small part of the story. I […]

The shamble at COP demonstrates that the world is moving away from the idea that hydrocarbons can be removed from a modern economy. But an accident of recent electoral politics has left Britain with a fanatical Government of Net Zero zealots. The anti-working class Labour party was returned to power with a popular vote count less than its losing Marxist leader obtained in 2019. The U.K. FIRES work demonstrates what lies in store. A resurgent America bounding ahead on cheap energy and unleashed entrepreneurial spirits will contrast with its European allies shutting down industrial manufacturing in pursuit of an increasing unpopular state-mandated doomsday cult.

By Paul Homewood Definitely worth a read: Earlier this week the Labour backbencher and Chairman of the U.K. Parliament’s Energy Committee Bill Esterson noted that people will have to adjust their habits to meet Net Zero emission goals for 2030. Such honesty, emerging as it does from the Parliament of Net Zero nodding […]

Consequently, the UK’s automotive industry is calling for government intervention to safeguard the sector and Britain’s […]

For too long, the impact and cost of the Climate Change Act has been deliberately hidden from the public. Partly this has been the result of a political conspiracy between all of the major political parties and establishment in general. It has also been aided and abetted by all of the media, with a handful of notable exceptions.
