The Met Office's Richard Betts has appeared on Channel 4 News to claim 1,500 people died from the heat last summer. That’s the opposite of what the data show, says Paul Homewood. Betts should hang his head in shame.
The Met Office has proclaimed 2025 to be the hottest year ever – by just 0.06°C, despite its weather stations having urban heat uncertainties of 1°C and more. Such a claim is utterly laughable, says Paul Homewood.
Ed Miliband has been caught telling porkies again, repeating the lie that energy bills are high due to the cost of fossil fuels. In fact, says Paul Homewood, it's the astronomical cost of subsidising renewables.

The Atlantic hurricane season, which has just ended, was quieter than normal, with five hurricanes compared to an average of 7.2. But you won't hear about it on the BBC or in the mainstream media, says Paul Homewood.
Rachel Reeves has announced that energy bills will be £150 lower as a direct result of her Budget. But don’t be fooled, says Paul Homewood. The cost of Net Zero is set to rocket, according to the OBR.
COP30 was where pious platitudes met cold, harsh reality. And cold, harsh reality won. Outside Europe the world long ago worked out that fossil fuels are an essential, not a luxury, says Paul Homewood.
