Blair–Brown Part II: The Making of the Climate Change Act. The passage of the Climate Change Act in 2008 is often remembered as a moment of broad political consensus. Journalists praised it as evidence that Britain could “rise above party politics” and act in the long-term interests of the planet. What is rarely acknowledged is…

Andrew Neil’s column in the Daily Mail this week will have come as a shock to those who still believe the Government’s fairy tales about a “glorious renewable future.” He didn’t mince his words: Net Zero is “the most costly self-inflicted wound in modern British history.” He’s right. For years, ministers, quangos, and energy corporations…

Chapter 1 Section 1.1 – The Fall of Industry and the Rise of Dependency The story of Britain’s energy and sovereignty crisis cannot be understood without first revisiting the dramatic unravelling of its industrial base. The collapse of coal, steel, and manufacturing was not simply an economic event. It was the precondition for the political…

Introduction 1.5 The Blair Years:- Globalism, Climate Leadership, and the New Political Consensus When Tony Blair entered Downing Street in May 1997, it was not just the beginning of a new government. It was the birth of a new political settlement. The Labour leader declared the arrival of “New Labour, New Britain” a phrase that…

Who Really Runs Britain?It’s not the politicians you vote for. Since Blair rewired our constitution, power has been outsourced to unelected committees and foreign treaties. The Climate Change Act handed control of our energy to the Climate Change Committee, not Parliament. Our borders are ruled by the ECHR and UN conventions, not the British people.…

1. The Telegraph Finally Wakes Up For years, Reform UK has been warning that Britain’s energy bills are not high because of gas prices, or Putin, or any of the excuses trotted out by Westminster. They are high because of deliberate political decisions. Now even The Telegraph has had to admit it. In a major…

Introduction – A Simple ChoiceThe UK is at a crossroads. On the one hand, developers are pushing vast industrial-scale solar farms across our countryside, swallowing farmland and greenbelt. On the other, we have millions of rooftops—factories, warehouses, schools, supermarkets, offices, and homes—lying underused and perfectly suited for solar generation.The truth is simple: solar belongs on…

Imagine living in a town ringed by 50 wind turbines, hailed by politicians as a “renewable powerhouse,” and yet you can’t keep the lights on. That’s not a hypothetical. It’s the reality for Crookwell,New South Wales, where residents are being forced to rely on diesel generators because their single fragile power line keeps failing.It is…

Introduction: The Slogan That Became a Shield For almost two decades, the public has been told to “believe the science.” It has been repeated by politicians, campaigners, and media outlets as a mantra designed to shut down debate. To question any aspect of climate orthodoxy was to be branded a “denier,” accused of bad faith,…

For decades, the public has been told to “believe the science.” Every dissenting voice, every uncomfortable fact, every legitimate question has been brushed aside with that slogan. Yet when new scientific findings cut across the dominant political narrative, the same establishment that shouts “trust the experts” suddenly retreats into careful disclaimers, hedging language, and damage…
