Right, Mark Drakeford is pretty pissed of with the UK Government over glass 🥛🥛🫗🫗🍷🍷.

Amazing expose on @SkyNews this morning…
Have a look at the top earnings made by MPs in their 2nd jobs
3 points:
- The blue ones are Tories (obvs)
- This may explain why they’ve got no clue about the cost of living crisis

France is not fucking around
New legislation demands all *existing* carparks with 80 or more spaces must install a solar roof (in 3-5 years)
