Sir Richard Dearlove, former head of MI6, spoke at the Global Warming Policy Foundation this week to warn about Net Zero. Didn’t hold back…
Dearlove was Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service from 1999 to 2004 some of his choice quotes:

On Monday morning the LibDems will debate F26, a full anti-SLAPP motion claiming Britain is the world’s leading source of legal threats against journalists investigating corruption, and demanding courts be empowered to throw out abusive claims against hacks trying to uncover the truth. A noble ambition to defend freedom of the press…
The previous morning, however, they debate F17, which would commission “a second Leveson-type review of media regulation, covering new media in addition to traditional broadcast and print media”. They justify this by saying “the media scene has evolved since 2012”, and so a crackdown may be necessary…
On Saturday they also debate F14, which wants guidance to police and prosecutors making clear that “repeated, targeted or escalating behaviour” towards elected officials should be “assessed cumulatively, rather than each incident being considered only in isolation“, and social media firms placed under a statutory duty to run a human-staffed hotline for political party HQs. Good luck convincing Elon of that one…
Particularly egregious are the Labour MPs covering Wandsworth who are criticising the Tory borough council for raising tax after Labour rapidly cut its funding by 40%. Tooting MP Rosena Allin-Khan, Putney MP Fleur Anderson, and Battersea MP Marsha de Cordova have refused to help…
Fleur Anderson has actually distributed an email to her constituents this week attacking the council for its decision to hike Council Tax in response to the funding cliff-dive. Cynical – Reform has jumped on the bandwagon too…
Hilariously she manages to attack the Tories for making “very concerning cuts:
Cut meals for Wandsworth’s most vulnerable children;
Got rid of school breakfast clubs;
Cancelled support for local charities;
Scrapped Bulky Waste collections (which will ultimately cost more money as Bulky Waste reduced the Council’s fly-tipping costs).”
Of course, there will have to be more of those thanks to the Labour government’s decision. She added: “Residents should not be asked to pay substantially more while the Council is still looking for savings elsewhere.” Chump…
Malcom Grimston, independent councillor and kingmaker in the borough, points out: “The previous administration ate through some £90 million of the £205 million in reserves that it inherited, and things were getting worse (£50 million of this was incurred in the last year alone). In effect, the previous Council governed as though it was raising the Council Tax by 15% a year but actually only raised it by 2% a year.” Who ran the previous council?
Kemi Badenoch is launching a legal challenge against the government for the move. Read Anderson’s full email below:
Andy Haldane, Burnham’s recent adviser on the economy who has not taken up a No10 job, told Andrew Marr on LBC:
“The market now suspects that this is a traditional tax-and-spend socialist government with better TikTok videos…
imposing windfall taxes on oil & gas or on banks or upping capital gains tax would […] repeat the mistake that Rachel made […] The Achilles heel, the fiscal Achilles heel of this government thus far has been its unwillingness and/or inability to cut public spending.”
