Requiring solar panels on new homes should be a no-brainer. Labour should not cede to pressure from developers who want to reduce costs New homes must be fit for the future. That means super high insulation, energy-efficient heating, and solar as standard theguardian.com/environment/…

This is an incredible piece of work by @JonathanPieNews. From the research, to the sequencing, to the performance. You want to know why so many people are turning away from vapid MSM and looking to political comedy & alternative news? Look no further. 👇

After all the corruption we've seen from the Tory party and everything they've done to bring our NHS to its knees, Sunak dares to suggest it's the sick who can't work who are the problem? The very people he and his party have let down so badly? The sheer nerve of it.
Replying to @SkyNews
"We can't allow fraudsters to exploit the natural compassion and generosity of the British people." PM Rishi Sunak announces there will be a crackdown on fraud as part of his 'moral mission' to reform the welfare system trib.al/h9GAtkH 📺 Sky 501

Let's chase the shiny future things that will serve a very wealthy niche rather than basic proven technology for the masses. Buses, cycles and feet! BBC News - Government wants flying taxis to take off in 2 years bbc.co.uk/news/technology-68…

How will Labour explain to future generations why they chose to ignore the climate emergency? Sorry, a liveable planet just didn't "make the cut"?
As Labour set to ditch £28bn figure on the Green prosperity plan tomorrow, expect Labour to pin this on 1/ economic uncertainty due to what they say is Tory mismanagement of econ 2/ Will prob also say finalising manifesto details this week & the figure (see 1/) didn’t make cut
