They call it “green energy.”They tell us it’s clean, sustainable, and the solution to the climate crisis.But look closer — and the truth is literally being buried beneath our feet. Across the UK, vast swathes of countryside are being carved up, stripped bare, and entombed under thousands of tonnes of concrete and steel to build…

It destroys more real jobs than it creates. Behind the polished speeches, recycled promises, and glossy press releases lies a hard truth: Net Zero is an economic illusion. The “green jobs” it claims to create are fragile and dependent on public subsidy, while thousands of real, skilled, productive jobs are being lost in the industries…

📢 The political class blames Ofgem for the mess. But the truth is simple: energy bills are high because the Net Zero experiment is being forced onto the grid at any cost — and that cost lands on you. According to Confederation of British Industry, policy costs now account for up to 24 % of…

Last week, Britain’s energy system was quietly pushed to its limits. While most people went about their lives unaware, a prolonged collapse in wind generation forced our grid to rely on imported electricity and gas plants running flat-out just to keep the lights on. This wasn’t a “bad luck” weather event. It was a glimpse…

Introduction “To no one will we sell, to no one deny or delay right or justice.”Magna Carta, 1215 The story of modern Britain is not just one of changing governments and shifting party lines , it is the story of power itself quietly moving away from the people. Over the past half century, the United…

This November, world leaders will jet into the heart of the Amazon for 2025 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) in Belém, Brazil. They will arrive in fleets of aircraft — private jets, government planes, VIP charters — all to lecture the rest of us on how to “save the planet.” The irony is almost…

The Westminster Debate That Exposed the Truth About Britain’s Energy Infrastructure In a powerful debate at Westminster this week, John Lamont — MP for Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk — tore a hole through the carefully maintained illusion that the UK’s renewable and grid expansion drive is a fair, democratic process. > “We live in a…

Almost twenty years of ideological dogma has brought this nation to its knees. What was once a country built on innovation, strength, and common sense has been hollowed out by a political class chasing fantasies instead of reality. We are witnessing the systematic dismantling of everything that once made Britain strong. The Leader of Self-Harm…

It’s not often that Cabinet Ministers break ranks in public — but that’s exactly what happened this week. In a move that will send shockwaves through Westminster, John Healey, the Defence Secretary and long-standing MP for Rawmarshand Conisbrough, has come out swinging against the Whitestone Solar Farm — one of the largest solar developments ever…

Keir Starmer is preparing to fly to COP30 in Brazil to posture as a “global leader” on climate action. But behind the international applause and photo opportunities lies a grim truth: Britain is being sacrificed on the altar of political virtue-signalling. While Starmer tells the world net zero is “the economic opportunity of the 21st…

admitting failure was considered more dangerous than silently failing to deliver. How Britain’s energy strategy became a hostage to dogma — and why it’s time to break free from a broken Climate Act. 1. The Illusion They Chose to Protect From the very beginning, admitting failure was considered more dangerous than silently failing to deliver.That…

From the windswept fields of Scotland to the farmlands of Cornwall, Britain’s countryside is under siege. Wave after wave of industrial-scale solar developments are being imposed on rural communities — often without their consent, without proper environmental assessment, and without any consideration of long-term national consequences. On 18 October 2025, The Yorkshire Post published two…

To those who profit from destruction To SSEN Transmission, SSE Renewables, ScottishPower, Vattenfall, EDP Renewables, StatkraftTo the planners behind the scenes in Glasgow, Edinburgh, and London who draw lines on…

When the energy industry tells a government minister the truth to his face, you know the spin is cracking. On Wednesday, in full view of Parliament, Ed Miliband was forced to hear what millions of families already feel in their wallets: energy prices will keep rising for years, no matter how many Net Zero slogans…

Across Rotherham and Doncaster, something extraordinary is happening. For once, every Labour MP representing affected communities has stood up and said “no” to the vast Whitestone Solar Farm development.Sarah Champion (Rotherham) has issued a clear objection, warning that the loss of productive farmland and precious green space will be devastating for her constituents. Jake Richards…

In May 2011, the UK Government quietly made one of the most consequential decisions in modern history.It legally adopted the Fourth Carbon Budget (2023–2027) — a commitment to slash emissions by 50% compared to 1990 levels. This wasn’t just another green policy. It locked the entire country into a Net Zero pathway, setting off a…

Britain is in the grip of a cost-of-living crisis. Energy bills are already unaffordable for millions, yet the unelected Climate Change Committee (CCC) is quietly pushing a policy that could make things far worse. Their plan isn’t complicated — but it’s cruel. The CCC wants to shift “policy costs” off electricity bills and onto gas…

He frequently highlights flood risk as a major concern, especially after high-profile storms like Storm Babet. He’s expressed sympathy for affected residents and called for “stronger investment in flood resilience.” In public statements, he frames this as part of a “just transition” — protecting communities while decarbonising the economy. 👉 It’s a good soundbite. But…

How much landscape are we willing to sacrifice in the name of Net Zero targets?Are we properly weighing actual carbon benefit against environmental damage?Why is nuclear — particularly modern, small modular reactor (SMR) technology — being sidelined while our countryside is carved apart? These are the questions that too few politicians, developers, and media voices…
