Looming power cuts, rocketing bills, water shortages, dysfunctional public services, sky-high taxes, a failing economy: Britain’s slide into crisis, our staggering seemingly accelerating decline, is tragic yet unsurprising. We are nearing the endgame, the final denouement, of a quarter century of political, intellectual and moral failure in which most of our political class has been complicit. Statist ideology, historical naivety, cowardice and short-termism have crippled our country. Orthodox thinking has turned out to be wrong in almost all areas that matter, from the economy to energy to planning. Politicians of both parties are to blame, but the rot started on that sunny day in May 1997 when a fresh-faced Tony Blair swept away John Major ’s sleaze-addled government in a misplaced wave of optimism. For a while, many were fooled – Blairism was the original cakeism – but it marked the beginning of the end of Britain’s renaissance, our return to the technocratic consensus that … [Read more...] about The horrifying truth behind the coming collapse of basketcase Britain

What a wonderful environmental parable is now unfolding around a meeting of 150 countries held last week in Kigali, the capital of Rwanda, to discuss an international ban on yet another greenhouse gas, to aid their wish to halt global warming. Back in 1987, when there was a huge panic over the hole opening up in the ozone layer over the Antarctic, 197 countries signed the Montreal Protocol, the world’s first major environmental treaty, agreeing to phase out the use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), used in everything from refrigerators to hair-sprays, which were supposedly causing the ozone to disappear. How far this has actually been responsible for the fact that the ozone hole has recently been shrinking is still a matter of scientific dispute. But CFCs have been widely replaced by hydrofluorocrabons (HFCs), used in refrigeration and air-conditioning, which, because they are short-lived, were viewed not to be damaging to the ozone layer. However the penny has finally dropped … [Read more...] about Huffing and puffing over HFCs won’t cut global warming

N orway has drawn up plans to ration electricity exports in a move that has heightened fears of energy shortages in the UK and Europe this winter. The government in Oslo on Monday announced new rules limiting the sale of power to foreign countries as heatwaves threaten Norway’s hydroelectric power generation. Experts said the restrictions threatened the UK’s plan to draw power from Norway this winter via the North Sea Link - leaving electricity supplies more stretched and risking even higher bills for consumers. The National Grid has already revealed that the UK is set to be more dependent than ever on the Continent for power, with interconnectors expected to provide up to 5.7 gigawatts of electricity at peak times. About one quarter of that total – or 1.4 gigawatts – is set to come from Norway. Kathryn Porter, an energy consultant at Watt-Logic, said the proposed restrictions “put at risk the ability of Britain to import from Norway this winter”. “National Grid ESO needs to … [Read more...] about Norway threatens to ration electricity in fresh blow for UK and European energy supplies

Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak went head to head on Thursday night at a members' hustings in Cheltenham, hosted by The Telegraph's Camilla Tominey . The final two candidates were grilled on pivotal topics, from tax cuts and reforms to the economy, that will shape party members’ decisions - and Britain’s future. With six official hustings down and six more to go, read our writers' verdicts, below, on who gained an advantage in the increasingly bitter race for No 10.

Rishi believes that inflation is the greatest danger and that our primary obligation is to pay down the national debt to create a sound economy. Liz insists that the more serious threat is impending recession which would be made more likely by increasing taxes which would depress investment and entrepreneurialism. That’s it. This was an … [Read more...] about Liz Truss vs Rishi Sunak: Our writers on who won the Telegraph’s Tory leadership hustings

It could be the heat, but I find myself fuming at the use of the word “handouts”. It’s as if Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak were Victorian benefactors who, out of the goodness of their flinty mill-owner’s hearts, were minded to drop a few coppers into the outstretched cloth cap of the millions who can no longer afford their gas bill . “Shall we give the poor mites a handout, Sir Godfrey, or should we, perhaps, make them set fire to Timmy, their pet Schnauzer, to take the chill off their humble abode?” It’s hardly a charitable “handout” when people have paid their taxes in the reasonable expectation that the Government will make sure they have affordable energy. Is it the fault of the British people that their leaders have been seduced by the siren call of the Renewables Blob who keep claiming that green energy is incredibly cheap and storage will come along any day now? Is it our fault that an average family will soon have to find in excess of £3,500 a year for such unimaginable … [Read more...] about Our leaders broke Britain, but we’re getting the blame

A SHORT STORY BY SALMAN RUSHDIE EARLY IN 19—, WHEN SRINAGAR WAS UNDER the SPELL of a winter so fierce it could crack men’s bones as if they were glass, a young man upon whose coldpinked skin there lay, like a frost, the unmistakable sheen of wealth was to be seen entering the most wretched and disreputable part of the city, where the houses of wood and corrugated iron seemed perpetually on the verge of losing their balance, and asking in low, grave tones where he might go to engage the services of a dependably professional thief. The young man’s name was Atta, and the rogues in that part of town directed him gleefully into ever darker and less public alleys, until in a yard wet with the blood of a slaughtered chicken he was set upon by two men whose faces he never saw, robbed of the substantial bankroll that he had insanely brought on his solitary excursion, and beaten within an inch of his life. Night fell. His body was carried by anonymous hands to the edge of the lake, whence it … [Read more...] about The Prophet’s Hair
