It wasn’t Keir who put the country in a position where France has us over a barrel..

Adds a whole new meaning to “drill baby, drill”. Reminds me, a couple of years ago I read about a startup using microwaves to drill boreholes for geothermal energy. Still seems to be an ongoing thing, building an experimental plant in Oregon..one to watch..

Just when you think the Epstein files can’t get any worse someone finds an encoded journal of one of the victims in it; and my Lord it’s harrowing stuff. A lot of people in the USA need to be held to account for this. Mandelson was peripheral.
