I see the covid enquiry is still rumbling on…
I sent them a witness statement last week:
“Whoever said “one person can’t change the world” never ate an undercooked bat.
No reply so far.
“Home Secretary Yvette Cooper was wheeled out for the media round this morning, faced with the obvious question on whether Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu would be arrested in the UK since the ICC issued his arrest warrant. She repeatedly refused to say whether he would be, saying it wasn’t a matter for her “as Home Secretary” to discuss.”

The chief ICC prosecutor is a Mr Khan (there is a lot of it about). So there is definitely no bias there – no no no.

Looking at the list of defendants is interesting because it appears to be all Africans and Russians.
There is no image for the Putins. Would this be because there are multiple Putins they could not decide which image to use?

Mr Khan has some serious allegations levelled against himself, apparently:
“Arrest warrant against Netanyahu coincides with crisis at ICC.

“MPs may claim utility costs for property registered with us. MPs who stay in rented accommodation can claim for running costs, including utility bills, subject to an overall budget cap. They cannot claim for bills for their private homes, or for things like mortgage payments.”

Labour government claim to be cleaning up! Sadly they are… pigs in troughs…
Revealed: ‘Climate change’ brothers, (more than one family involved, all linked to Climate activists) declare ‘no conflict of interest’ in public subsidies being rewarded with new ‘pop-up’ public corporations of which they are suddenly ‘CEO’ heads of, and who will benefit (billions £)) from running the same corporate monsters to ‘save-the-planet’ – for Labour activists. One ‘Dale Vince’ springs to mind, but there are new Labour millionaires being made, or hope to join the rich club soon as the rest of us get poorer.
It all sounds like a BBC Drama. Except its LIVE and the BBC won’t report it, -in case you may find it offensive!. i.e. Labour Politicians suddenly running private national corporations at the same time as running public subsidies just like the national state broadcaster does. This only happened in books, such as 1984 by George Orwell where a few state corporations run everything badly (like the NHS), but expanded to include your TV License and state run food banks. BBC on steroids, running the country based on Left elite family connections.
GWPF: has urgently reported a conflict of interest to the PRESS today for independent news channels. BBC Verify may decline that any such conflict exists, or names, or the Chinese connection.
‘The Permanent Secretary; Mr Pocklington of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) has a brother who is CEO of Good Energy, a major operator in the renewables sector it has been revealed.The DESNZ register of interest states that “appropriate mitigations” have been put in place, and that Mr Pocklington has agreed not to have direct contacts with Good Energy’. But they are two brothers both sharing the same interests and contact with civil-servants. It is not credible that they will not speak to each other about a shared interest in net zero and ‘Good Energy’
The revelation about Mr Pocklington comes just days after it was revealed that Baroness Brown, the chairman of the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee, oversaw the writing of a report that called for immediate support for hydrogen energy storage, despite being the director of a hydrogen company and of a windfarm company,[iii] both of which will reap huge benefits from subsidies. Indeed, the Secretary of State recently announced – apparently in response to the House of Lords report – astonishing levels of subsidy for new hydrogen projects.
In addition, David Miliband, the brother of the Secretary of State, is involved with a company that invests in gridscale batteries in the UK, a sector that will expect to see huge growth under the Government’s ambitious plans for the energy sector!!!
GWPF Andrew Montford noted:
“This has been going on for at least ten years, right back to the repeated revelations about Lord Deben’s conflicting interests during his time at the Climate Change Committee.[vi] The rule in Westminster and Whitehall for Net Zero people appears to be that it is perfectly acceptable to have a conflict of interest, so long as it is declared, and if it isn’t, or if there are undeclared payments, a blind eye is turned anyway. It’s shocking.””

[iv] Hydrogen companies will get both capital subsidies and revenue subsidies. The capital subsidies may represent the majority of the construction cost of the electrolysers. On the revenue side, the subsidy will allow hydrogen, with a production cost of at £240/MWh to compete with natural gas at £80/MWh. In other words, the subsidy might be expected to be around £160/MWh. £2 billion is expected to be shared between 11 small electrolyser projects.

Because of climate change hysteria, the BBC and media’s backing of junk science, the rubbishing of people questioning the “science”, a new orthodoxy has now been enforced. As far as the zealots are concerned any push to reducing CO2 is a good thing however questionable, costly or corrupt.
On the BBC News site. “Chris Mason: How Prescott blazed a trail for Rayner”.
So we’ve got him to thank for that, too!
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwy1k1k3x1no
If I remember correctly, Prescott junior was the producer/editor (I don’t know the difference) for Look North, the local news programme on BBC1 some years ago . I am sure that didn’t affect the decisions on which stories to run.
A Conservative friend who lived in Prescott’s constituency many years ago has been telling me of the threats she was receiving for being active in politics.
“blazed a trail for Rayner” – to New York with Lord Alli!
Elon Musk’s brilliant response to British MPs:
“I’ll summon you, actually”. (link below)
They are like some impotent old monarch of a dying regime, angrily stamping his feet, issuing orders, summoning his courtiers, demanding obedience… but no-one’s paying attention.
Our MPs are lost in the same deranged hubris as the BBC.
Neither realises the implications of Trump’s win, nor the changes a-coming.
Both are of the past; senile, sclerotic and pathetic.
The future belongs to Trump and Musk.
To quote two golden oldies:
The Times They Are A-Changin’
And you know something’s happening but you don’t know what it is, Do you, BBC?
We don’t like you, we don’t respect you, we don’t believe you, and we don’t obey you.
May your demise be swift.

WHO CHECKS THAT THE VALUE FOR MONEY DEPT IS VALUE FOR MONEY? HA HA AHH AHA HAH AH AH AH AH!
“The Office for Value for Money (OVfM) is a time-limited HM Treasury Unit launched at Budget 2024 with two primary roles.
First, the OVfM will provide targeted interventions through the multi-year Spending Review, working with government departments. This will include conducting an assessment of where and how to root out waste and inefficiency, undertaking value for money studies in specific high-risk areas of cross-departmental spending, and scrutinising investment proposals to ensure they offer value for money.
Second, the OVfM will develop recommendations for system reform, informed by lessons learned from the past, international best practice, and the views of external organisations. This will underpin a ruthless focus within government on realising benefits from every pound of public spending.”
