Climate Alarmists Turn Up the Heat as Temperature Records Broken at British Airports

 Those climate change scaremongers are at it again, we get a few days Mediterranean style hot weather here in the UK and the climate sciencetits are screaming that we are all going to die unless we cancel civilization

Climate Alarmists Turn Up the Heat as Temperature Records Broken at British Airports

The climate Thermageddonites got their U.K. heat record of 40°C in the end, courtesy of a measuring device in Coningsby, Lincolnshire. The BBC noted on Radio 4 last night that the record temperature arose in the “village” but co-ordinates on the Met Office site place the device halfway down the runway at RAF Coningsby, home of two squadrons of frontline, combat ready squadrons and a training base for Typhoon pilots. In joint second place, perhaps to nobody’s great surprise, was Heathrow, one of the busiest airports in the world.

The last two days in England were very hot, probably the hottest for over 100 years, although the possible distortions caused by urban heat (and jet afterburners!) need to be taken into account in the surface record. On the Radio 4 late news, BBC meteorologist Ben Rich explained that the heat was caused by southerly winds bringing hot air from the Sahara. The wind direction then changed to the west, and by the time he spoke on Tuesday evening, the rain was falling in London and the temperature had plunged 20°C. This of course was the sound scientific reason for the high temperatures, although science was laid to one side at the end when Rich said it “feels like a tipping point”.

In a similar emotional outburst, the serial Covid lockdown campaigner Piers Morgan told his audience on TalkTV that if we are not very careful, “we are heading for an apocalypse”. Also signed onto the apocalypse theme was London Mayor Sadiq Khan. He pulled the ‘things were much colder in the old days’ line, by telling Nick Robinson on Wednesday’s Today programme that when he was growing up, “you had heatwaves every 20 years”.

Brendan O’Neill captured the hysterical wittering with an entertaining article for the Spectator. Is anyone else tiring of all this green nonsense, he asked. “There is something medieval about it. There is something creepily pre-modern in the idea that sinful mankind has brought heat and fire and floods upon himself with his wicked, hubristic behaviour. What next – plagues of locusts as a punishment for our failure to recycle?” O’Neill noted the thoughts of the Guardian Environment Editor who claimed we were as “guilty as hell”. He sounded like “one of those crackpot millenarian preachers you’d see on street corners in the old days”. ... continue reding at The Daily Sceptic

Climate Change and Leftist Psycological Malware.
It may seem far fetched but it is possible to link the techniques of the climate change / anti capitalist lobby to the brainwashing prorammes used by the Nazis in Germany, Stalin's Soviet regime in Russia and Chaitrman Mao's brutal government in Communist China. Thus it becomes quite similar to malware that infects computer systems. The left do not care about saving the planet, all they are interested in is advancing their totalitarian, globalist agenda.

The thing with half-truths is that they generate a glorious fog, but it has no substance. Ask of the spin-cloud a couple of sensible questions and the narrative collapses.

Arrogance, Intolerance, Snobbishness and Corrupt, Self Interested Practices. It's modern science. The world sems to be waking up the the fact that while in the past scientists tended to be rather detached, slightly obsessive people not driven by material goals, the modern science academy has been very largely corrupted by political patronage and corporate money. The academic field of climate science it especially notable for this.

Russia's Gazprom Cites Force Majeure To Halt Gas Flows To Germany Indefinitely

 18 July 2022
(Source: Reuters)
 

State owned Russian gas company Gazprom today declared extraordinary and extreme circumstances (force majeur in legal jargon) to indemnify itself against penalties for failing to honour contractual obligations to 'an unnamed customer (which is Germany but you didn't read it here OK,) due to the Russian company being unable to complete scheduled maintenance to the Nord Stream 1 pipeline which carries most of Russia's gas exports that German business and domestic consumers are heavily dependent on. Gazprom said for reasons beyond its control gas supplies can no longer be guaranteed, thus the pipelines"good functioning" is in doubt. The problem, according to Russian sources, is due to crucial turbines being previously held up in Canada for reasons related to sanctions.  

As a result of this, the gas will not flow through the pipeline for n indefinite period as has been predicted by this website, many other alt_news services and even some in mainstream media. Reuters reported, "Russian gas export monopoly Gazprom has declared force majeure on gas supplies to Europe to at least one major customer starting June 14, according to the letter seen by Reuters." The letter is dated July 14. "It said the force majeure measure, a clause invoked when a business is hit by something beyond its control, was effective from deliveries starting from June 14."

  July 22 had been dubbed European "Doomsday" , the day on whichwhen the scheduled Russian 10-day maintenance of the crucial Nord Stream pipeline to Germany was scheduled for completion and when the gas would start to flow again. However various statements from Russian official about retalitatory measures for the EU's continued support of Ukraine in that country's conflict with Russia

As we reported recently, German authorities have the taken unprecedented step of preparing for fuel rationing and blackouts in anticipation of the withdrawal of Russian gas supplies, some areas have already begun reducing service levels by lowering the current, which has affected everything from limiting hot water, to shutting down swimming pools, and dimming city street lights as Germany entered "alarm" stage over dwindling supply.

Meanwhile the green ga-ga idiocy of the EU goes on.  Paris-based International Energy Agency (IEA) even amid this "red alert crisis" for Europe is bizarrely still focused on dealing with the emergency in a way "consistent with the EU’s climate ambitions"... this as Germany and other European populations are about to clearly enter an extremely difficult winter, to put it mildly.

Desperate For Energy ReliableEnergy Sources, Europe Throws €Billions Into Hydrogen Research

As EU energy ministers EU wait with bated breath to see if Russia restarts the pumps that pusg gas through the NordStream1 pipeline on after their 10 days downtime for scheduled maintenance on 22nd of this month, the European Commission, while publicly reiterating its committment to wind and solar as the future of electricity generation, has approved a 5.4 billion euro package for the research and development of hydrogen power.

Hydrogen is often wrongly hailed as the solution to “climate change” and carbon emissions (which are not a legitimate threat to the planet in any way, as shown by the NOAA's own temperature data and the mere 1 DEGREE Celsius rise in world temps in the past century).

Hydrogen is a notoriously difficult and expensive fuel to produce in terms of efficiency.  For hydrogen to be completely green, it must be produced by electrolyzing water, which splits into the H2 and O that its molecules of.  Hydrogen fuel cells consistently prove to be substandard and lose 30% their energy in the process of splitting H2 from Oxygen, on top of the 26% energy loss from transporting the electrolyzing water. Not looking good so far is it?

Why is EU leadership continuing to pursue fairy tale technologies when they have access to CO2 free energy production in the form of nuclear power?  While nuclear power is often demonized by environmentalists, it is an actual “zero emissions” source that is already developed and waiting to take over from coal and gas (fossil fuels.).  If they actually cared about an immediate reduction in carbon output, governments would stop wasting their time and taxpapers money on terribly inefficient windmill farms and dream technologies like hydrogen and focus on “clean” energy sources that are already proven.

Hydro electric power is great so long as the green lobby don't mind a few valleys being flooded, tidal barrages could be great if the green lobby were willing to sacrifice the habitat of an endangered species of two toed toad or something. And nuclear is great so long as we understand the difference in danger level between a nuclear power station fuel rod and weapons grade plutonium.

The main downside to nuclear power in reality is the cost, which is around $15 billion per plant.  But the EU has already spent $232 billion from 2014 to 2020 on climate change initiatives that have apparently been useless because they are still spreading hysteria about global warming to this day and are still having to burn coal and gas because their beloved windmills and solar panels have failed miserably to live up to expectations.  They could have built dozens of nuclear plants across Europe in that time and been done with it.    

But, they won't do that, because climate change movements are not about science, they are about ideology, and part of their ideology is about bringing down industry and undermining capitalism.  Nuclear power doesn't fit the image and works a little too well from industry's point of view, so, they ignore it.

Dutch Dairy Farmer Faces Having To Cull 95% Of His Cows

 Following on from our reports of the Dutch farmers' protests against new and totally destructive  environmental being imposed on member states by the Brussels bureaucracy we have today picked the story of one farmer who claims the new rules will require him to slash his livestock inventiry by 95 percent. predicts the new laws will result in him having to sell the family farm.

“I can’t run a farm on 5 percent. For me, it’s over and done with,” he said in a July 7 interview with The Epoch Times.

“In view of the regulations, I can’t sell it to anybody. Nobody wants to buy it. [But] the government wants to buy it. And that’s why they [have] those regulations, I think.”

Neppelenbrook is referring of course to a detail in the World Economic Forum's 'Great Reset agenda'  which would see new laws put European and North American farmers out of business by preventing them producing food through fascistic laws justified by idiotic ideological goals like 'net zero'.

A cow at Martin Neppelenbroek’s farm in Lemelerveld, The Netherlands, on July 7, 2022. (The Epoch Times)

Neppelenbroek made the remarks while speaking with Roman Balmakov, host of “Facts Matter” on EpochTV, during Balmakov’s recent trip to the Netherlands.

As Boggart Abriad reported yesterday Farmers in Italy, Spain and Poland have joined Dutch farmers in protest of 'green' government regulations that will decimate the industry by forcing them to reduce their use of nitrogen fertilizer compounds. Cows produce lots of ammonia through their bodily waste but nitrogen, like Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is essential to the healthy development of plants and animals.

Not all farmers are required to get rid of so many cattle, pigs and chickens.

People living further from areas protected under Natura 2000, a European Union (EU) agreement for species and habitat preservation, can own more cattle.

The mor authoritarian governments of EU member states have gleefully embraced the regulations on nitrogen oxides and ammonia emissions which are tied to sites’ proximity to those protected areas. Naturally the protected areas are closest to the most productive agricultural land in the EU. This latest insanity from the Brusseld bureaucrats is worse for the citizens of Europe that the previos totally bonkers agricultural policies of paying farmers to not farm productive land with higher payments for letting good land return to a wilderness state, aka rewilding.

Will any of this save the planet as is ostesnibly intended. Of course not, it is just more control freakery led by the pseudo science of the mathematical modellers

Farmers, truckers, and others across the Netherlands have led nationwide protests against the EU and WEEF vision for the future wich includes plans for we the people to eat insects, worms and chemical shite vaguely resembling meat, which will be grown in factories.

Dutch news serviceNOS Nieuws reported that Christianne van der Wal, the country’s minister of nature and nitrogen policy, has not ruled out expropriating land from uncooperative farmers. According to a report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Agriculture Service, the Dutch government has said its approach means “there is not a future for all [Dutch] farmers.”

For now, Neppelenbroek’s 70-acre-plus property is home to roughly 130 milking cows. It’s been in his family for half a century.

“I’m the second generation,” he said, adding that many farms in the Netherlands have been in families for much longer.

The Netherlands punches well above its weight in agriculture. The small, coastal country is one of the world’s top 10 food exporters. Though there is not a lot of space compared to nations like the USA and Canada, Ukraine and Russia, the climate is ideal for both livestock, dairy and arable farming and the Dutch have learned how to use to that space as effectively as possible.

"We Are Not Slaves": Farmers In Italy, Spain, & Poland Join Dutch Protests

 

Farmers in Italy, Spain and Poland have joined Dutch farmers in protest of 'green' government regulations that will decimate the industry by forcing them to reduce their use of nitrogen fertilizer compounds.

"We are not slaves, we are farmers," said Italian farmers, who drove tractors through the streets of Milan and blocked city traffic. 


Farmers in Spain join colleagues in Netherrlands, Italy vand Poland in protests against EU 'green' mandates that will destroy their businesses.

 

 According to the Morning Star, "Italian farmers face an imminent crisis due to a severe drought that has seen a third of agricultural produce placed at risk."

The country’s agricultural minister Steafano Patuanelli told parliament earlier this week that Italy faces a further 40 per cent loss of water resources in the coming decades.

Farmers say they have lost around €3 billion as a result of the emergency and are being hit hard by rising fuel prices with costs rocketing as a result of the conflict in Ukraine.

In Spain, farmers in Badajoz, Granada and Albacete paraded their tractors down the street in solidarity with the foreign farmers, as well as national protests at home over a lack of food and gasoline, according to EuroWeekly News.

And in Poland, farmers came to Warsaw last weekend to protest against inflation and other government actions.

The protests have led to empty supermarket shelves in the Netherlands, as tractors and other agricultural machinery have blocked warehouses, preventing their shipment - a move which Prime Minister Mark Rutte has mobilized state police against in an attempted crackdown.

"Our Country Is Facing The Biggest Crisis The Crisis We Ever Had": German Employers' Association Warns Over Russian Gas Cut

 

With the Nord Stream 1 pipeline closed for maintenance, with the possibility that President Putin will not allow it to reopen at the end of the scheduled 10 days downtime in retaliation for the EU's continued support or Ukraine in their conflict with Russia, Germany is facing an unprecedented crisis that could erase the prosperity Germans have grown accustomed to, warned Rainer Dulger, head of the Confederation of German Employers’ Associations.

“We are facing the biggest crisis the country has ever had. We have to be honest and say: First of all, we will lose the prosperity that we have had for years,” Dulger told the Süddeutsche Zeitung regarding the consequences of a gas shortage to Germany's business and domesticv premises.

While many people in politics, business and the media are urging more government intervention to help prop up the German economy, Dulger argues that, the fewerthere are state interventions , the better. He says that when it comes to the economy, private businesses always do better than the government.

However, he does believe some measures need to be implemented to provide support for people being thrust into poverty because of rising prices and business closures or short time working.

“More net earnings from the gross amount must now arrive into every citizen’s account,” he claimed, stressing the importance of not reducing the net income of the citizens in a veiled appeal for tax cuts, and policiesensuring the fair redistribution of profits generated during the crisis.

Dulger is not the only one warning of a crisis in Germany, a crisis which is already in train. Economy Minister Robert Habeck too has warned of a “catastrophic winter” should Russia threat to cut off the gas supply be carried out.

According to him, Germany will face a “crucial test that we haven’t faced for a long time.”

Other experts predicti mass bankruptcies, inflation, and energy rationing that will send “shockwaves” through the German economy as a result of a deepening of the energy crisis which was triggered by the failure of idiotic 'net zero' pledges and green virtue signalling and is being exacerbated by knock on effects of the Ukraine conflict and the EU response.

The Bavarian Business Association (VBW) warned that as many as 5.6 million jobs across Germany could be lost in the case of a gas supply stoppage from Russia.

According to the association’s analysts, the loss of gas imports from Russia gas could also reduce the country’s economic output by 12.7 percent, with immediate abandonment of the raw material hitting the glass, iron, and steel industries particularly hard; losses in these sectors would be almost 50 percent.

Dulger sees the current situation as being due to the lack of capacity to be self-sufficient in energy production, as a result of abandoning both coal and nuclear power to appease the country's powerful green movement. For too long, Germany had disregarded something that former German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt warned about in the 1970s.

When deliveries of gas to Russia began at the time, Schmidt said: “We can do it, but we must not depend on Russian gas for more than 30 percent.”

Economic Fallout From Soaring Dollar Could Trigger Summer Of Discontent

As part of a perfect storm of crises, energy starvation, food shortages and runaway inflation, and with the central banks of the world's most powerful economic nations raising interest rates to protect their currencies, something had to break. Sri Lanka has been first, its recent default on foreign debt and the collapse of the government in the face of popular riots against food shortages and rising prices causing  President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to flee the country yesterday has been the most drastic effect to date.

Sri Lanka is a small, poor nation which is why it is one of the first to be hit. More significant perhaps it the farmers protest in The Netherlands against rising prices, energy shortages and EU environmenta policy which as we reported recently is seen as an attack on the agricultural sector of Netherlands and other member states' agricultural sector as UK magazine Farmers Weekly reported.

The Dutch farmers are angered by government support for an EU policy that will require them to use less fertilizer and reduce livestock herd sizes. Amsterdam's Schiphol airport has been blockaded and KLM, the Dutch arm of Air France, advised travellers to use public transport, rather than cars, to reach the airport, as farmers' activist groups cordinating their protest through social media used tractors to block roads.

Several major highways across the country have been blocked by convoys of slow moving tractors and farm vehicles.

At the heart of the protest are targets introduced last month to halve harmful nitrogen compounds by 2030. It is the latest attempt to tackle a problem that has plagued the country for years. The government says that emissions of nitrogen oxide and ammonia, which are produced by livestock, need to be drastically cut - particularly near a protected network of habitats for endangered species that stretches across the EU.

The reforms are expected to include reducing livestock and buying up some farms whose animals produce large amounts of ammonia.

Farmers argue they are being unfairly targeted, giving them little hope for the future of their profession.

This latest authoritarian and economically suicidal policy imposed on member states governments by the EU is the latest in what is starting to look like an attack by the ruling elites on civilisation.

 Bad economic policy, the Covid-19 non pandemic and, ultimately the global food and energy crisis resulting in serious shortages and exacerbated by the EU's response to the conflict in Ukraine, tipped the country over the edge. Reports are now filtering in that the protest movement  has spread to other EU nations, in a show of solidarity, German, Italian, Spanish and Polish farmers have launched protests, in what is fast becoming an EU-wide campaign against “anti-farming” policies.

But the crisis in Sri Lanka also points to broader economic malaise arising from currency volatility. For one, the strong dollar has its mirror image in a sharp depreciation of many currencies around the world. There is hardly any developing/emerging market currency that has escaped the stronger dollar. Bear in mind also that dollar-claims (loans and debt securities) on the non-financial sector in emerging markets and developing countries reached a record of nearly USD 4 trillion last year, after more than a decade of easy monetary policy and risibly low interest rates. As such currency volatility in developing markets is something is unlikely to disappear in the foreseeable future.

The dollar strength is due to US Central Bank The Federal Reserve raising interest rates aggressively. The Bank of England has followed suite with more modest rate increases. 

Of course the biggest eye-catcher in recent days has been the euro, which yesterday dipped below the psychologically important level of parity with the US$. It’s understandable that investors are running for cover by transferring their holdings to cash with stock exchange indexes around the world sinking on whether the next step by central banks will be even bigger hike by  after its last 75bp and the ECB not even having started to raise interest rates yet even though this is making the effect of sanctions on energy imports from Russia even worse for Germany, Netherlands, France and Italy which due to the EU's misguided war on fossil fuels in pursuit of the idiotic 'net zero' target for reduction of Carbon Dioxide emissions.

Nato’s Ukraine crusade hits the buffers of reality

By Donald Forbes, TCW Defending Freedom,

THE outraged chorus in the West after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine seems distant, though that intoxicating shot of moral adrenaline occurred less than five months ago. Now there is a hangover which has segued into panic about what we have done to ourselves and about the unavoidable consequences.

NATO, led by the demented, geriatric idiot Joe Biden, has committed the strategic blunder of taking sides in a war on the assumption it would be won without having an exit strategy in case it is lost. The Ukrainian war has been fought from Washington almost as if it were a video game rather a human tragedy.

If the war was about keeping Ukraine intact, giving Vladimir Putin a bloody nose and neutralising Russia, it has visibly been lost to everyone who is not cheerleading on behalf of a Nato government. All of these are increasingly desperate about the unmanageability of what they got into.

Sanctions against Russia have rebounded across the world, which is sliding towards a politically fraught economic recession in part because of the war’s unforeseen effects. Talk of regime change in Moscow and putting Putin on trial for war crimes, never really more than Bidenesque bluster, won’t be heard of again. ... Continue reading >>>

Boggart Abroad stablemate The Daily Stirrer notes that blogs and websites in the GDPublishing gang have warned from day one that even before Russia invaded, the government of Ukraine, (the neo - Nazi nutters in Kiev,) were pinning their hopes on drawing NATO into a full scale conflict with Russia and its allies. This was always a non starter so at this stage in the conflict the best Ukraine and its rent boy presiden Voloydyloddimyr Zelenskyyyyyyy can hope for is a negotiated settlement based on ceding territory currently occupied by the Russian military to Russian rule.

The Inflation Monster That Our Leaders Have Created Is Voraciously Eating Away Our Standard Of Living

Authored by Michael Snyder via TheMostImportantNews.com,

The purchasing power of the dollar is not nearly as strong as it once was, and as a result our standard of living is rapidly going down.  The overall rate of inflation has been rising faster than our paychecks have been for quite a while, and this is causing a tremendous amount of pain for millions of U.S. consumers.  Unfortunately, this isn’t going to change any time soon.  The inflation monster that our leaders have created will continue to rage even as our economy plunges into a severe recession.  I relentlessly warned that the trillions of dollars that our leaders were pumping into the system would cause enormous problems down the road, and now we are trapped in an economic nightmare with no easy way out.

On Wednesday, we learned that the rate of inflation in the United States jumped even higher last month…

Shoppers paid sharply higher prices for a variety of goods in June as inflation kept its hold on a slowing U.S. economy, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Wednesday.

The consumer price index, a broad measure of everyday goods and services related to the cost of living, soared 9.1% from a year ago, above the 8.8% Dow Jones estimate. That marked the fastest pace for inflation going back to November 1981.

Of course the way that inflation is calculated today is much different from the way that it was calculated back in the 1980s.  If the way that inflation was calculated had not been changed, the official inflation rate would be much higher right now.

But even if you want to take the 9.1 percent figure at face value, it is still extremely high, and last month energy and food prices were two of the main reasons why we witnessed such a dramatic surge ... Continue reading >>>

Macron's Minority Government Defeated on Vaccine Passport Reintroduction

Authored by Paul Joseph Watson via Summit News,

French President Emmanuel Macron suffered a humiliating setback in parliament after his flagship vaccine passport scheme was defeated in the French National Assembly where, inconveniently for little Emmanuel's authoritarian instincts, his government does not command a majority.

               

Macron’s government, which competed throughout the two and a half year COVID pandemic hoax with Boris Johnson's supposedly libertarian UK administration for the distinction of imposing the most repressive and fascistic infringements of citizens' personal liberty and human rights,  intended to extend the 'show me your papers, swinehund' policy  which require anyone entering France, going into any entertainment venue or restaurant or travelling on public transport to show proof of vaccination or a negative Covid test.

However, the right-wing populist National Rally (RN) led by Macron's arch enemy Marine Le Pen, the hard-left La France Insoumise (LFI) and the right-wing Republicains (LR) all united to vote against the policy.

Macron’s government lost the vote by a margin of 219 votes to 195.

“The bill’s defeat was met with wild cheering and a standing ovation from opposition lawmakers, in footage that was widely circulated on social media,” reports the Telegraph.

The bill was one of the first put to parliament by the new minority government, and shows that the new government will find it incredibly difficult to get new laws passed in the country.  Macron, whose presidency in his first term was incredibly unpopular in France and on several occasions triggered civil unrest due to Marcon's assaults on the French tradition of liberty, equality and fraternity, looks to be facing an even tougher ride this time.

Elisabeth Borne, the French Prime Minister, condemned the vote.

“The situation is serious. By joining together to vote against the measures to protect the French against Covid, LFI, LR and RN prevent any border control against the virus. After the disbelief on this vote, I will fight so that the spirit of responsibility wins in the Senate,” she tweeted.

As previously highlighted, the French Minister of Health has admitted that vaccine passports are a “disguised” form of mandatory vaccines, despite President Macron claiming vaccination “will not be compulsory.”

On the first day the new program was in place, police in Paris were visibly patrolling bars and cafes demanding customers show proof they’ve had the jab.

It later emerged that many businesses are refusing to enforce the scheme.

Stand by for more reports of riots and civil unrest in France.

EU Crisis? Euro currency falls below parity with US$ as Italian Government collapses

                              BREAKING: PM Mario Draghi resigns after Italian government collapses

Italy's volatile politics plunged the EU into a new crisis today  July 14, after its coalition government collapsed. One of the ruling coalition parties, the 5-Star Movement, had earlier abstained in a vote in the Senate on a relief bill for soaring energy prices in the country that are driving many people into poverty.

The vote tied to a confidence vote, and Giuseppe Conte the head of M5S stated yesterday, Wednesday, July 13, that his party would not support the government in either of today’s votes.In the even the government survived the confidence vote but only because of a large numer of abstentions with members of other small parties joinging the Five Star contingent and declaring they could no longer back the ruling coalition.

In a statement released by Mario Draghi the Italian Prime Minister, he announced to his cabinet that he will resign from his post: “I will tender my resignation to the president of the republic this evening. The national unity coalition that backed this government no longer exists”. Draghi's coalition had been in power since January 2021 but had been a lame duck government unable to pass major legislation because they depended on the support of the anti - EU Five Star Movement.

Sergio Mattarella, the Italian President,  will now have to make the decision of either accepting or rejecting the PM’s resignation. Word is the President has indicated he will reject it, but that would result in an unwilling leader heading a government that cannot govern.  In what seems the most likely outcome of this crisis an election could be scheduled as early as September.

Giuseppe Conte, the Five Star party leader and the second-biggest group in Draghi’s coalition, said he could no longer back Draghi’s cross-party government, which he accused of not doing enough to help families battered by spiralling food and energy costs.

“I have a strong fear that September will be a time when families will face the choice of paying their electricity bill or buying food,” he said after a day of frenetic political consultations.

             
Guiseppe Conte - Five Star leader

 

Crucially, as The Financial Times reports, the implosion of Italy's national unity government, which could trigger earlier elections that were set for spring next year, would come at a sensitive time for the European Union, already enmired in three crises, the cost of living explosion, the war in Ukraine and attendant food and fuel shortages and runaway inflation as a result of the loonytoons COVID response.

It was all done behind closed doors and with no minutes kept.”
