Don't post on here often, but read it every day. Can't sit by and watch @Ozanne getting picked on for doing little other than make a polite 'point of order' request without my saying something. F

Obviously horrible news. But I think pointing the finger at Rayner is not only unfair to her, but also serves to help silence critics of the Tories. Don't forget that over the years, BJ's words h

For fracking to start it still has to have consent of areas where fracking to take place? Still pretty unpopular I reckon.

they'll be numerous prevention tactics im sure ... protests ? legal enquiries . planning ? not sure how long it takes to get these things up and running ?

Starmer using the same attack line as Ozanne...dividing line is tories want people to pay, labour want energy companies to pay...I would imagine that will get some cut through.

Me and Starmer are kindred spirits.

Osborne is a dick, I'll never forgive him for fucking up solar with his budget in 2015 (I think...) at just the time when it was no longer seen as the 'hippy' thing to do and instead the average joe in the street was considering it. Just an atrocious and pathetic ideological decision especially given where we now are 7 years later.

Starmer has just reminded us that Truss was environment secretary at the time that Osborne crippled the solar industry and she was responsible for stopping on-shore windfarms.

Given @squirrelarmy pointing out her Shell background, it wouldn't be beyond the realm to speculate that those decisions were due to lobbying by her energy firm mates. Can we have a socialist revolution yet?

Somethings going on apparently. Notes were passed to the PM, shadow front bench and SNP. Starmer and Raynor have left the Commons.

I’d love it if all MPs had to declare all the shares they have in companies. Getting it on public record would add transparency.
 

It wouldn’t pass as MP’s from both sides of the house will have their fingers in multiple pies.

      Yeah I did spot that AXS had more available for the O2 shows Muse are doing, though I think that comes with the territory of AXS now being the venue's primary ticket selling platform.    My instinct remains they'll probably still play to a big crowd on the night - sales were similarly slow in 2023 but videos of those gigs showed the venue looking pretty much full. Equally it probably would be sold out if the pricing was even just slightly less ridiculous. Shave up to £50 off some of these categories and I think that would've got people to go with it.

      Some are definitely already there with that and with another round of inflation looking like it's on the way, it certainly locks that in. And I say that as someone who also isn't willing to break the £100 marker.

      A lot of people have said this online but does the Marvel world need new cities to play with? New York seems to be a target of all the villains to the point where you wonder why anyone in that world still lives there. Much as you can accuse me of overthinking it I guess haha.    I do agree that The Void is a compellingly different villain in many respects given the superpower is trapping people in their most traumatic memories. Shame in some respects the film came out in the post-Endgame funk Marvel seems stuck in and a lot of people missed out on it.    Speaking of, I rewatched Infinity War the other day. First time I think I've seen it since seeing it in the cinema on its opening day. Holds up pretty well imo - I have issues sometimes with ensemble casts and jumping between 4/5 storylines but it felt this one got the balance right and also properly explored Thanos. So it was good.

      What telly progs are you bingeing on?

      I didn't think I'd ever watched a Coben adaptation or read one of the original books, though turns out I did - I watched one called The Stranger back in 2020. Clearly didn't stick long in my memory as until researching it, I didn't know that was one of his. Queens Gambit or Black Mirror, it was not.    But clearly it's popular tripe in some respect if Netflix is going yes to everything he has to offer and are apparently about to start trying his most popular individual character, as seen below:   https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2026/jul/30/how-harlan-coben-became-the-king-of-potboiler-tv   Plus hey. Sometimes people get a kick from watching something and deriding it as crap. Don't let this internet rando stop you haha
