Trump was right to skewer Starmer over Britain's "windmills scam" when he met him in Scotland this week, says Ben Pile. It was a cringefest worthy of The Office, but Starmer can't afford to ignore the President’s warning.

Ed Miliband this week announced plans for the UK to become the "sustainable finance capital of the world". What he didn't mention, says Ben Pile, is that green finance is collapsing as investors pull funds in droves.
Britain's warm June brought out the usual heatwave hysterics. It was supposedly "100 times" more likely due to the "climate crisis" and caused 600 deaths, but the numbers don't add up, says Ben Pile.
