She has got even more reason to be pissed off, as she seems to have been usurped as unofficial Foreign Secretary by Johnson's old man having cosy little meetings with the Chinese Ambassador and then accidentally emailing his report to the BBC (suggesting its not just MP's but their parents also who are thick)!

Government apparently backs domestic coal but doesn't support foreign coal in absolute non shocker!

Whilst they put on a front of "supporting" climate change at the 'UK - Africa 2020' initiative, they are supporting outdated non-renewable energy; a new thermal coal mining plant, on our doorstep.

A planning report (Horlock i'm looking for your thoughts) in Cumbria, claims that the thermal coal mine will be "broadly carbon neutral". Because of course, the burning of coal will always result in reducing COČ emissions?!

Post Brexit Britain, the Great United Kingdom, firmly drifting back to the 1970s with a policy that clearly does not meet our own proposed climate ambition.

Think this is the planning report:

Nice, yet another case of failing to plan for outcomes, this was reported in the Express but seems to have vanished once it became clear its what's known as shooting ones own foot off... (Brief summary below)

So on Saturday after the Brexiteers all had their little parties, Guernsey decided it would be a good idea to BAN French fishing vessels from within 12 miles of its shores..... but turns out the Guernsey fishing community had not quite thought through the repercussions of this tiny act of stupidity.

The French have decided that if that is the case then Guernsey fishing vessels will not be able to dock into French ports in Normandy (where the Guernsey fishing vessels unload ALL their catch), and also that Guernsey is surrounded by French waters where Guernsey fishing vessels are now banned.

That's Raab levels of stupidity. Surely it must have occurred to them that they are surrounded by French waters? It cannot have escaped their notice, it's not like the island has moved there recently!

Tory council candidate jailed for making threats of violence against female Labour MP Yvette Cooper; he was supported in court by the current Tory MP Andrea Jenkyns who sent a character reference on his behalf. Nasty Party back in full effect I see.
