Starmer hands arms dealers billions meant for roads and energy

Shameless lapdog of elite interests Keir Starmer has once again announced that his government will be handing arms dealers billions of pounds. This time, it’ll be taking money away from road and energy projects to pay for it. Starmer is leaving, but still screwing us over Starmer’s corporate cronies have long said a lack of funds is why they can’t fund public services properly. But because Big Brother in the US wants the UK to splurge billions more on arms, our subservient political class has obliged. And Starmer even had the nerve to brag about keeping public finances “under control” as he…

Christians use roses to remind chancellor the nation wants affordable energy

This morning, 6 members of Christian Climate Action attempted to deliver 100 paper roses to HM Treasury. It was to remind Rachel Reeves that one million people recently signed a petition asking the government to refuse approval for a new oilfield in UK waters. The UK government is soon to make a decision to approve or reject extraction at Rosebank, the biggest undeveloped oil field in the UK. The oil from Rosebank would be sold on the international open market. This means it would do nothing to lower UK energy bills or reduce price volatility. There’s an abundance of renewable energy…

Green Party calls out Streeting’s ‘illiterate’ energy plan

The Labour politicians looking to replace Keir Starmer have been talking about expanding drilling in the North Sea: among said politicians is Wes Streeting. In response, Green Party deputy Rachel Millward has described his plan as “environmentally reckless and economically illiterate”. Reckless Streeting As we reported, Streeting said the following about drilling in the North Sea: Yes. I think that’s probably where Ed [Miliband] will get to. When he makes a decision, I’d be surprised if that wasn’t the case. The granting of those licences will not necessarily translate into cheaper bills, but it will translate into higher tax receipts The…

Labour MP Richard Burgon has spoken out against Ofgem’s price cap rise, labelling it a “total con”: Ofgem’s so-called energy price cap is a total con.

Energy regulator Ofgem announces 13% increase for energy bills

On 27 May energy regulator Ofgem announced that it will raise the energy price cap for 1 July to 30 September 2026 by a massive 13%.

That’s up from the current equivalent of £1,641 a year – an increase of around £18 a month, based on typical use. The cap applies to anyone on the default payment plan, rather than a fixed-rate…
