EU Graduates Dodge £360m in Student Loan Repayments 43,700 EU graduates earning above the threshold paid nothing last year. They took the degrees and went home. The Student Loans Company relies on them to declare their own earnings, and ministers call themselves "resolute". The arrears stand at £360m. The taxpayer is still waiting. A Telegraph FOI request earlier put the debt of overseas graduates who can repay but don't at £1.3bn, and that covers every country, not only the EU. The SLC was trying to trace 42,000 of them. British graduates repay through payroll. Those abroad are trusted to fill in a form. Education minister Josh MacAlister says the public expects these debts to be paid, "and so do we". Expecting is all the Government has done so far. telegraph.co.uk/money/jobs/s…

It's called Connect & Manage...this policy allows windfarms to be built with massive subsidies despite the fact that most of the electricity they generate cannot be used and it could be years before that changes Windfarms such as Seagreen which opened in October 2023... In 2024 2/3 of its electricity was thrown away. In 2025 that went up to 3/4 The cost of that goes straight on our bills. The windfarms don't care they get paid either way. The grid companies don't care, they also get paid either way. The Government doesn't care as it can point to windfarms being built While consumers get completely shafted

Er … yes it’s absurd but it’s also insane that it takes a jobs tsar to state the bloody obvious.

Three bad harvests, input costs through the roof, SFI turned into a scramble, and bluetongue spreading. We’re still expected to produce cheap food and look after the landscape. Something has to give. Stand with farmers or watch more family businesses disappear. 🇬🇧

•A House Judiciary interim report says the Environmental Law Institute’s Climate Judiciary Project runs seminars for judges likely to hear climate cases. •The Committee says the seminars are framed as neutral science but are meant to steer judges toward plaintiffs suing energy producers. •Internal emails cited in the report say the programs can treat contested climate science as settled and affect case outcomes. •There is no formal conflict-of-interest policy for presenters who may also be involved in active climate litigation. •A CJP contributor allegedly shared a nonpublic training document on attribution science with a lawyer in Multnomah County’s $50 billion suit against energy companies. •Oversight has covered 15,000+ pages and testimony; the Committee says it will keep investigating and may seek reforms.

.@CarbonBrief says wind and solar have saved Britain £5.9bn in gas imports since the Hormuz crisis began. The sum is right. It's also half a sum. A saving is what's left after you've paid for the thing that saved you. A thread ⬇️

When the ice sheets melted at the end of the last glacial period, the planet didn't just warm up and move on. The weight of those ice sheets, in some places miles thick, had been pressing down on the crust for tens of thousands of years. Remove that load in a geological instant, and the entire system has to adjust. The northern continents began rebounding upward, a process called isostatic rebound, and that rebound is still happening today. At the same time, trillions of tons of meltwater poured back into the ocean basins, redistributing mass across the planet's surface and altering the stress field within the crust. He argues that much of the volcanic and seismic activity we see today, particularly in tectonically sensitive regions, may be a delayed response to that rapid deglaciation. The Earth is still settling from the end of the Ice Age, and that settlement expresses itself in earthquakes, volcanism, and crustal adjustment. It's a reminder that the planet operates on timescales far longer than human memory, and that the consequences of catastrophic change can echo for millennia.

Let's be clear- It wasn't our security services that thwarted the terrorist bombing of RAF Fairford, they knew fuck all about it. A local farmer, on her way home from a party, saw the vans and called the police. Mass murder was averted through blind luck. We are not safe under this Labour government.

This is the question nobody seems interested in asking. For roughly 80 years, global annual CO₂ emissions have followed a remarkably persistent upward trajectory. During that time we've had decades of climate-crisis warnings, international treaties, climate summits, emissions targets, carbon taxes, mandates, subsidies and enormous expenditures intended to reduce emissions. And yet the global emissions curve still looks remarkably similar to the long-term trend. So here's the question: What exactly has all of this accomplished in terms of the stated goal... reducing global annual CO₂ emissions?

My piece in CapX. Nobody ever built a wind farm with wind. Every energy transition is a project that uses its current energy source to build its replacement while keeping everyone fed and warm. The premature abandonment of fossil fuels sabotages the very thing net zero hoped to achieve. capx.co/net-zero-cant-help-b…

Why are they so desperate to make the 🏝️Chagos deal, at any cost? Who benefits from the deal? Mauritius gets £billions from the UK leasing Diego Garcia. Mauritius hopes to earn far more by mining the mineral resources on the seabed of the France-sized Chagos marine zone. The British lawyers 👨‍⚖️ who worked on Project Chagos got £millions and could make many £millions more if the deal goes through. 🇨🇳China, 🇮🇳India, and others could benefit massively from fishing the currently protected marine zone, and mining the rare earth elements REEs and minerals thought to be worth trillions on the Chagos Archipelago's seabed. China and India will significantly increase their military and commercial leverage in a region vital to Western Security. The deal is being sold as securing the strategically important joint UK/US 🪖military base on Diego Garcia. The deal does🚨NOT secure the base. It does the opposite. The deal operationally hobbles the base, and increases the dangers to the British and American military personnel, and the civilians who work there, and in the wider Central Indian Ocean region. Diego Garcia's remoteness made it easy to defend in the past. This deal leaves the base horribly vulnerable to the growing threats posed by the new longer-range missiles, and more sophisticated and lethal drones. When Keir Starmer, Lord Hermer and Vijay Rangarajan, the Director General at the FCDO negotiated the deal, it was fully understood that the outer islands of the Chagos Archipelago were by far the best locations to deploy early warning, and air-defense systems, to protect the main base from missile and drone attacks. Yet, inexplicitly and recklessly they decided to only lease Diego Garcia. And¥ Burnham, the droves of civil servants in both Number 10s, and all the Labour MPs know the rotten and deceptive Chagos deal increases the dangers to the lives of the British service personnel, and our NATO allies personnel, in the strategically important Central Indian Ocean region. To double down and keep pushing the deal with that knowledge is utterly shameful. Mauritius will control the France-sized airspace above the Chagos Archipelago if the deal goes through. In April this year, Mauritius denied the Taiwanese president's plane permission to fly in its airspace enroute to Africa at China's request. Mauritius being a signatory of the African Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone Treaty, together with several clauses in the Chagos deal, significantly limit and impact military operations on Diego Garcia. Then there's the bewildering betrayal of the Chagossian people who overwhelmingly wish their homeland to remain British. Is self-determination for the Chagossians the hidden threat to who owns the rights to the potentially vast mineral wealth in the Chagos Archipelago's seabed the reason for the desperation to make the deal with Mauritius? Have promises been made to certain countries or to other 🕵️entities with great power that can't be broken without the most serious of☠️consequences? Why are they so desperate to make the Chagos deal, at any cost, and who benefits?
