Well well, turns out Ubers X pals had got it all wrong anyway.....

'A complete fabrication': Government denies claims Ed Miliband has banned new North Sea oil licences (cityam.com)

No, Ed Miliband Has Not Banned Drilling For Oil In The North Sea (msn.com)

As previously stated, we will not issue new licences to explore new fields. We will also not revoke existing oil and gas licences and will manage existing fields for the entirety of their lifespan.

Amazing what you can find out in the real world.

Is the Daily Telegraph real enough for you? This is clear -

Seems Starmer has slapped Ed down and Labour have done another U turn

This is AI, so it must be correct....

Earlier today, The Telegraph claimed that Ed Miliband, the new energy security and net zero minister, had overruled his officials to stop the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA) from issuing new oil drilling and exploration licenses, even those that were in the final round of approval with the regulator. However, Miliband’s department swiftly refuted these claims, calling them “a complete fabrication.” According to the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, the article invented meetings and decisions that never took place. The truth is that they will not issue new licenses for exploring new fields, but they won’t revoke existing oil and gas licenses either. Instead, they plan to manage existing fields throughout their lifespan while working with the NSTA to ensure a fair and balanced transition in the North Sea. This stance aligns with the position set out in Labour’s manifesto ahead of the election, which emphasized a phased and responsible transition away from drilling in the North Sea while recognizing the industry’s proud history and workforce. So, it seems The Telegraph’s story missed the mark on this one!
 
Trump shot at a rally !! 2 dead including apparent shooter. It would seem it was with a small calibre gun, and that the shooter might've been Lyndon Dykes, as eight shots were fired and all were off there target ! Trump's right ear was clipped by 1 shot, but is fine apart from that ! Ffs

Useless ****er!

I'm not paying him.

Well that seals Trump's election.

Could not have been any better for the Trump camp. He even looks as though he will be able to carry a scar reminder for the rest of the campaign

I seriously wouldn't put it past that lunatic to have had the whole thing staged ! No matter who it was that is reported dead in the crowd, RIP to them and condolences to their family.
