    Does Reform have a plan to defeat the Green Blob? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    I have been critical of Tory U-turns, and other epiphanies on the green agenda. And so I think it only fair to highlight what are, I believe, some shortcomings of Reform UK. I have been supportive of the party in the past, and have recently defended them. For example, the party was recently reported to have received very large donations from two “crypto billionaires”, resulting in much hue and cry. But the whinges were utterly disproportionate, I pointed out, as most such whinges are. Moreover,

    The Stinky Rebellion returns (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    On Monday last week, the Extinction Rebellion (XR), not seen for three years or so, pulled itself out of extinction to take to Britain’s streets.

    Burnham’s Green Leap Forward (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    On Thursday, the Prime Minister, Andy Burnham wrote in the Guardian, “British people understand the climate crisis threat. Today I’m empowering them to tackle it.”That word “empower” is intolerable, at this point. Green policy is always framed in this way — as if taking away your car is “empowering” you to walk. October’s Ofgem price cap has gone up 4%, though, as I poin

    Money makes the greens go round... But you can’t have any. (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    Dirty money has always been the mainstay of the green argument. And not even dirty. Merely the allegation of “money” is sufficient for green trolls to convince themselves and each other that the argument they are refusing to listen to has no merit — it was designed for profit. And it makes no difference what the amounts are. Greens have no sense of proportion. In one story, for example, produced by one green organisation made a big song and dance about a donor with potential “links” to energy in
