That oil it takes?
SIR Keir Starmer’s cash deal with donor Dale Vince looks murkier by the minute.
Just Stop Oil supporter Vince cheerfully admits he spoke to Starmer just days before Labour’s pledge to ban future oil and gas drilling in the North Sea.
Which just happens to be the stated aim of the JSO lunatics.
Vince also undermined any idea that he is an arms-length supporter of their anarchist protests by announcing he will personally match any public donations to the group’s website to fund more dumb stunts.
So it would seem the price for Labour’s reckless new energy strategy — which could cost the UK billions and leave us at the mercy of foreign powers — is a measly £1.5m in party coffers.
From tongue scraping to saying no, here are 12 health trends to try in 2023
Starmer’s plan is a huge mistake which risks our safety and prosperity.
As well as a damaging political own-goal.
Danger bots
OUR children are already under daily attack from predators on social media.
But as an investigation by this newspaper reveals today, artificial intelligence could ramp that threat higher.
Chatbots — using AI with no guiding human hand — are offering youngsters advice on sex and paedophiles.
Having lost control of large social media — which quickly became a playground for criminals and sex offenders — the next unregulated threat to our children is already coming from AI.
We mustn’t make that mistake again.
Off the rails
FOR how much longer will the rail union militants hold us to ransom?
Pitiless action this weekend against fans trying to get to the Derby and Cup Final will prove counter-productive.
Yet ASLEF leader Mick Whelan is refusing to rule out walkouts for another year while also threatening five-day long strikes.

Perhaps Mick’s mad plan is to string it out in the hope of getting a mega offer from a soft-touch Labour Government?
A brave move
DETAILS emerging from the High Court speak of yet another chilling threat to press freedom.
In 2020 a Government source told The Sun about claims Britain’s Ambassador to the US, Lord Darroch, was being probed over reports he spilled secrets to a US journalist during an alleged affair.
Within 24 hours of this paper approaching Darroch with the story a senior civil servant was arrested by 14 counter-terror cops.
He is now suing the Government.
That we don’t live in a frightening police state is due in part to whistle-blowing heroes like him.
We trust the judge will see it the same way.
