Positive Energy

Though hardly important enough to merit a formal discussion, Britain's energy secretary has managed to scrounge a bit of a chat with an acting assistant something-or-other in the Trumpster administration and has emerged oozing with rah-rah for a Third Way between Team Starmer's managed climatic decline and the head-tribble's full-on ecocide. The head-tribble is enthused about building blanched radioactive pachyderms for private profit, and Team Starmer is more than happy to trumpet those as part of its transatlantic bridge-building. The US also wishes to export more gas, since not even the Trumpster's capacious bagginess can hope to contain the entirety of the head-tribble's planned eructations; and although the acting assistant something-or-other did not bother briefing the Milibeing on this matter, Team Starmer will no doubt be joyously eager to comply. Given the deplorable consequences of our previous reliance on Russian gas, it will certainly be jolly when our energy supplies are no longer subject to the whims of an authoritarian gangster régime with no particular interest in European security.
