The British state is compiling a list of people who criticise its own counter-terror programme. Ordinary X and Reddit users who questioned Prevent training, flagged a one-sided focus on the "far Right," or simply criticised it have had their posts logged, stored and "investigated" by a Home Office-linked unit most of them have never heard of.

The war in Ukraine, along with the conflict in Iran, is causing energy supplies in the UK to run thin. That's according to the boss of one of Britain's biggest energy companies, who also told Channel 4 News that gas stores are also dangerously low.

Members have been told to use gender-neutral phrases such as "parents and carers" instead of "mothers and fathers", while the word "elderly" is described as 'inappropriate".

The phrase “black, Asian and minority ethnic” (Bame)" is cautioned against because “many people are uncomfortable with grouping diverse experiences under a single label”.

Terms such as "nutter and lunatic" are also to be avoided because they “reinforce negative stereotypes and stigma about mental health”.

A call for the controversial Jackdaw and Rosebank projects in the North Sea to be given the go ahead has been rejected by Holyrood – with the Tories accusing both the SNP and Labour of “dogmatic ideology and virtue-signalling” on oil and gas.

Scottish Conservative energy spokesman Liam Kerr led a debate in the Scottish Parliament in favour of developing the Jackdaw gas field to the west of Aberdeen and the Rosebank oil and gas field, which is in waters north west of Shetland.

The chief executive of EDF has backed the development of two controversial North Sea oil and gas fields, describing government approval of the projects as a “no-brainer” as ministers weigh their future.

Simone Rossi, chief executive of EDF, said Rosebank, Britain’s largest untapped oil field, and the Jackdaw gas field should be developed despite legal challenges that have halted work on both projects.

Why would Charlie want Diana forgotten...

After the death of Diana Princess of Wales, conspiracy theories filled the headlines. As so many of the conspiracy theories are absurd, many simple questions about the fatal night of August 31st have never been asked. By the end not only Princess Diana but also Dodi Al Fayed and the driver Henri Paul were dead. First, police blamed the paparazzi for causing the accident. They had been "buzzing round the car like flies." Then 48 hours later they blamed the driver of the Mercedes, Henri Paul. He was said to be three times over the drink limit.
