In journalism it's important to reflect both sides of an argument, to listen, to try and understand nuance and different perspectives, to be aware of your own bias.  But sometimes it's also important to state facts, and to call out facts that are not true

Guido Fawkes used a doctored news clip to smear my reputation and it snowballed into a right-wing pile-on involving the Daily Mail, GB News, three Tory MPs, one Peer, Richard Tice and Paul Staines. Having just beaten the Daily Mail for the second time - If this were a football

Solar energy has consistently been underestimated. Today, it adds more capacity/yr to global grid than any other source in history. If trend continues, solar will deliver more electricity generation/yr than any technology before it. Graph from Nat Bullard - great newsletter
