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.

      To be fair @Superscally barely mentions the running thing. Very quiet about it 😘

      I guess we'll just have to wait until videos of the shows go up, but the fact that the standing is also greyed out still suggests to me that those sections just sold out out before the others and a blue block just be like 3 tickets left, it's still not concrete proof they never went on sale and if they were never on sale why would they not make it even, if 414 wasn't on sale then you'd think 409 wouldn't be either

      2027 Headliners

      By smiffy98 · Posted

      I don’t think the festival automatically ‘need’ to have a female headliner if you have strong female headliners on the Other Stage (which I reckon will be Rosalia and Phoebe Bridgers), perhaps a female legend (praying for Annie, will take Cher), and a few female/mix gendered subs on the Pyramid (maybe London Grammar, The xx). From what I’ve seen of Sabrina, her team prioritises the pay day and I think she will be doing Wembley over Glasto weekend.   One thing I’ve noticed is a lot of the suggestions would be first time headliners and I can’t work out when the last time was that the festival had three artists top the bill that hadn’t topped it before? It seems to be something they like to do to make sure they have a ‘safe’ headliner that will land well with the masses. Plenty of names in that hat that could step back up next summer and should/could be about: Billie Eilish, Adele, Foo Fighters, The Cure, Radiohead, U2…hell, if Beyoncé is really planning to release a ‘rock n roll’ album to complete her Renaissance trilogy, Glastonbury would be a great place to ‘kick off’ that campaign for her.   And there’s always the Rihanna rumour. Her husband (I think) said this week she’s in the studio.
