Part 3 of the Planning Bill weakens protections for nature and hands power to developers. I signed 38 Tory amendments to stop it — and they still backed down. That’s not opposition. That’s cowardice. #ProtectNature #DontTrusttheTories

Alex Jones is now whining that “Trump signed on to the deep state closing us and is bragging about it” “Trump has joined with the Democrats to shut us down”
On Monday, Trump ran roughshod over intl law - the UK took no action. On Tuesday, Trump threatened a NATO ally - the UK took no action. Today, the UK supported Trump's military operation in the North Atlantic. When will this govt stop appeasing Trump and stand up for the rule of law?
Ми готуємо нові санкції проти росії, щоб реально на неї натиснути — змусити перейти від імітації переговорів до справжньої участі за столом переговорів. "Занадто багато країн продовжують вести бізнес із москвою, одночасно користуючись привілейованим доступом до європейських ринків та інвестицій"

'We've reduced our energy usage by 75%' A heat pump and solar panels boosted author and retrofit guru Judith Leary Joyce's home's value by £92,000 and drastically improved the energy efficiency of her previously draughty terraced house.
Most industries are commoditized. Being “good” isn’t enough. The way out is a clear niche and a proprietary approach that only you offer. That’s what makes you stand out and win.
