Mike Tapp's slightly cryptic post makes it clear that this is a Home Office NCA decision. MoD responds to a request from the civil power. which also suggests the delay in this action was not due to Healey or Carns.

EVs destroy oil demand. 👍🏻 Fact. Get used to it oil fans more demand destruction is on its way every single year.

People often ask how long a wind turbine takes to "pay back" its construction CO₂. Surprisingly, including mining, steel, concrete, copper, manufacturing, transport, installation, maintenance & decommissioning, a modern turbine repays its entire carbon debt in 5-12 months. After that, it can spend another 20-30 years generating electricity while avoiding far more emissions than were created to build it. Every technology has an upfront footprint. The question isn't whether emissions exist. The question is how quickly they are repaid. For wind, the carbon mortgage is usually measured in months. The carbon savings are measured in decades. That's what disruption looks like when physics and economics start pulling in the same direction.

ZELENSKYY: Russia is trying to bribe European politicians, and some are playing along — but they will lose, as Orbán did. “They (Russians) are trying to bribe certain politicians with certain benefits. Not for peace, but so those politicians simply sell their nations' interests and Europe's common interests to Russia. In the end, they will lose, like Orbán did. But many still try to make friends with Putin's wallets and turn a blind eye to the fact, what is really happening”. Ukrainian president on Saturday, June 13, 2026.

13 June 1944 - The Battle of Villers-Bocage: German tank ace Michael Wittmann, riding a Tiger I tank, ambushes elements of the British 7th Armoured Division, destroying up to fourteen tanks, fifteen personnel carriers and two anti-tank guns. The Battle of Villers-Bocage took place during the Second World War on 13 June 1944, one week after the Normandy Landings, which had begun the Western Allies' conquest of German-occupied France. The battle was the result of a British attempt to improve their position by exploiting a gap in the German defences west of the city of Caen. After one day of fighting in and around the small town of Villers-Bocage and a second day defending a position outside the town, the British force retreated. The Allies and the Germans regarded control of Caen as vital to the Normandy battle. In the days following the D-Day landings on 6 June, the Germans rapidly established strong defences in front of the city. On 9 June, a two-pronged British attempt to surround and capture Caen was defeated. On the right flank of the British Second Army, the 1st US Infantry Division had forced back the German 352nd Infantry Division and opened a gap in the German front line. Seizing the opportunity to bypass the German Panzer-Lehr Division blocking the direct route south in the area of Tilly-sur-Seulles, a mixed force of tanks, infantry and artillery, based on the 22nd Armoured Brigade of the 7th Armoured Division, advanced through the gap in a flanking manoeuvre towards Villers-Bocage. British commanders hoped that the appearance of a strong force in their rear would force the Panzer-Lehr Division to withdraw or be surrounded. Under the command of Brigadier William "Loony" Hinde, the 22nd Armoured Brigade group reached Villers-Bocage without serious incident on the morning of 13 June. The leading elements advanced eastwards from the town on the Caen road to Point 213, where they were ambushed by Tiger I tanks of the 101st SS Heavy Panzer Battalion. In fewer than 15 minutes numerous tanks, anti-tank guns and transport vehicles were destroyed, many by SS-Obersturmführer Michael Wittmann. The Germans then attacked the town and were repulsed, losing several Tigers and Panzer IVs. After six hours, Hinde ordered a withdrawal to a more defensible position on a knoll west of Villers-Bocage. The next day the Germans attacked the brigade box, arranged for all-round defence, in the Battle of the Island. The British inflicted a costly repulse on the Germans and then retired from the salient. The Battle for Caen continued east of Villers-Bocage, the ruins of which were captured on 4 August, after two raids by strategic bombers of the Royal Air Force. The British conduct of the Battle of Villers-Bocage has been controversial, because their withdrawal marked the end of the post D-Day "scramble for ground" and the start of an attritional battle for Caen. Wittmann will be killed in action in August 1944.

Elon Musk has used dozens of posts to promote Rupert Lowe's account on X. He has also used thousands of posts to boost pro-Russian and fascist accounts. He is the prime orchestrator of Russia's propaganda effort in the West. Have you had enough of a foreign fascist trillionaire interfering in British politics? Musk and Putin's combined interference is the real invasion.

This week the most advanced AI model on the planet got switched off by a foreign government. British researchers were studying it. British companies were testing it. British hospitals were piloting it. Not any more. This isn't an AI story. It's the story of every industry we used to lead. Britain has some of the best AI talent in the world. DeepMind was built here. Our AI Safety Institute writes the rules other countries follow. We have the researchers, the universities, the standards. What we don't have is the power stations to run the data centres, the planning system to build them, or the industrial base to make the chips. So the work happens here and the value lands somewhere else. We invent. Others build. Others decide. Then we read about it on Saturday morning. Same story as the kit our soldiers don't have. Same story as the factories we used to. I spent nine months in government making this argument inside the room. I'll make it louder from outside.
