Richard R LeeAbsolute #NuclearMadness! #Milliband knows that #Nuclear will NOT solve the UK’s #EnergyDependence on #fossilfuels, much less bring ANY pricing relief for decades and decades (if ever). This is what happens when you are beholding to #NuclearGrifters and #CarbonGrifters. #GriftersGonnaGrift #RatepayersGinnaPay (and Pay!). End the #NuclearBullshit once and for all. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/mar/13/nuclear-power-generation-uk-deregulation-plans-ed-miliband?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Simon Brooke@pedestrians1st this is a #Labour government in name only. All the cabinet, with the possible exception of #Milliband, are Tories.

"Frankly, I consider it to be negligence towards today’s and future generations not to engage China on this topic.”

nikolThe Cop29 talks, which began in Azerbaijan on Monday and will continue for another week, have been overshadowed by the re-election of climate-denying Donald Trump as US president. He has vowed to withdraw the US from the Paris climate agreement when he takes office in January, and reverse policies on cutting greenhouse gas emissions and promoting clean energy.
Miliband’s comments came as leading climate experts wrote to the UN asking for the Cop process to be overhauled, saying it should in future be held more frequently and only in countries supportive of climate action. This year’s host, Azerbaijan, is a major fossil fuel producer and before the conference one member of the organising team was filmed appearing to offer help striking fossil fuel deals.
In another blow to the talks, Argentina’s populist president, Javier Milei, ordered the dramatic withdrawal of the country’s Cop delegation on Wednesday night, a move regarded as a tribute to Trump. No more countries are expected to follow, but many at the talks fear it could embolden those who would stymy progress.
Miliband rejected this analysis. “There is determination here that this transition is going to happen now. It’s got to happen in the right way, and it’s got to happen with the urgency that’s required. But it’s happening, and it’s unstoppable,” he said.

Juggling With EggsToday’s evidence that #Starmer and #Milliband are just #Tory lite…caving immediately to the house building lobby on putting #solar pv panels on new builds.
They’ve crafted a weasel word defence literally fed to them by lobbyists around shade and unsuitable roofs. It’s just a gaping loophole, which will be exploited for all its worth…while residents pay the price.
