a masterclass in rhetorical deception
1. that a big new wind farm ācouldā be built has nothing to do with current electricity bills
2. Scotland is a ārenewables superpowerā because the āWestminster runā energy market offers price guarantees to wind farm developers (which impact all GB bill payers)

whole lot of tension on social media comes from the fact, imo, that the Very Online are either 1) people who love The World and other people so much that IRL isn't enough and they must socialise on the computer as well 2) people who hate The World and other people IRL and only want the computer

Keir Starmerās statement is an exercise in saying as little as humanly possible. Itās three uncontentious general statements followed by a restatement of the existing UK position.
Yes, itās not a condemnation of the USAās actions, sure. But itās not the endorsement some are claiming it is, either.
