UK: Net zero drive will create 170,000 jobs … in China

Labour’s accelerated net zero drive will create more than 170,000 new jobs in China, according to analysis by the Tories.

The Conservatives said Ed Miliband’s plans would spark a boom in imports of wind turbines and solar panels that would profit Beijing.

The Climate Secretary has put a pledge to make the energy grid carbon neutral by the end of the decade at the centre of his net zero drive.

We asked 152 Liberal MPs whether Justin Trudeau should resign. Here’s what we heard back

Will Justin Trudeau resign?

It’s the question on many minds after Chrystia Freeland, Trudeau’s right-hand minister, delivered a stunning blow to the unpopular Liberal government with a surprise resignation this week that shocked markets, drew the attention of U.S. president-elect Donald Trump, and turned debate over the prime minister’s future into the biggest story in the country.

Michael Higgins: Trudeau’s legacy is one of chaos and disaster

On Monday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s future was thrown in doubt. Five days later the Liberal Party is itself in peril. A week really is a long time in politics.

“I’m not thinking about elections,” Rachel Bendayan, the new minister of official languages, said outside Rideau Hall following Trudeau’s cabinet shuffle Friday.

Well, she had better think about it because one is coming.

Why the Media Spin on the German Christmas Market Attack Can’t Be Trusted

What the establishment media wants us to believe about any given event is usually more indicative of the media’s own world view than it is of the actual facts on the ground, and the vehicular attack on a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany on Friday is no exception. In fact, the media spin is even more pernicious than usual on this one.


By all appearances the perp was a fraud, a Muslim pretending to be an “Islamophobic” atheist to avoid deportation to Saudi Arabia where he faced prosecution for a criminal act.

Also note that the German establishment is so afraid of the AfD that they will go to great lengths to smear them and that will include massaging the narrative presented by a regime friendly press.

Drones over UK’s American airbases ‘may be controlled by hostile state’

Two Cobra meetings have been held in secret after unidentified drones were flown over military bases, involving technology so sophisticated the authorities have been unable to track them or identify those responsible.

Military officials have not ruled out the involvement of a hostile state but have expressed alarm that it has so far proved impossible to find the pilots responsible for controlling the drones.

Inside the Freeland fallout: How Trudeau’s leadership came under fire

At about 8:45 on Monday morning, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau arrived on Parliament Hill, his motorcade gliding to a stop in front of the ornate set of wooden doors used almost exclusively by him.

But instead of immediately getting out, Mr. Trudeau stayed in the back seat of the black SUV, on the phone.

On the other end of the line: his deputy prime minister and finance minister, Chrystia Freeland.

More Catwalk Than Perp Walk as Deification of Luigi Mangione Is Ascending to Absurd Heights

Luigi Mangione, alleged killer of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO, Brian Thompson, is being deified by fans comparing him to everyone from Robin Hood to Jesus Christ. His arrival in Manhattan, courtesy of the NYPD, is the latest made-for-TV moment in his leap from obscurity.

Mr. Mangione arrived in New York City on Thursday to face charges including first-degree murder, stalking, and illegal use of firearms. After 10 days in a Pennsylvania jail, he waived his right to contest extradition, enabling Empire State authorities to transport him to the scene of the crime.

Faced with turmoil, a defiant Trudeau hangs on – for now

It was one of the worst weeks of his political career, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was ringing in the season.

At the Liberal Party’s annual holiday gathering, Trudeau put on his party face, despite being blindsided the day before by the snap resignation of one of his most trusted allies, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, just hours before she was due to deliver an economic statement in Parliament.

But even as some members of his own party were calling on him to leave, the prime minister struck a resolute, defiant tone as he addressed the party faithful in his dark blue suit and tie.

Now we know who wears the trousers in the Sussexes’ house… and it’s not Harry

Quite rightly, the entire population of Britain has been rolling its collective eyes at the fact that Harry and Meghan’s official Christmas card doesn’t say “Happy Christmas”. Instead, it says: “Happy Holiday Season”. For pity’s sake. A prince, an actual English prince, referring to Christmas as “the holidays”.

The use of such a phrase isn’t just toe-curling, however. In my view, it also provides a revealing insight into the Sussexes’ marriage.
