The IPCC may have had second thoughts but the crisis in the Gulf continues.
Will 2026 become renowned for a Summer of Discontent as fuel prices rocket, a farming crisis takes hold, food shortages arise, pubs close, and the Starmer not-a-government stumbles incompetently onward regardless of anything but its own survival, even at the cost of allowing Ed Miliband to "take charge"?
"In office but not in power" springs to mind.
If all this serves to finally wake the people to the notion that this kind of government by incompetent complexity has reached the end of its road, and needs replacing by something more simple, more direct, more honest, and even actually responsive to the basic needs of the people, then perhaps finally some good may emerge from the wreckage.
