🐱📈 Happy Fat Cat Day! We’re less than a week into January and FTSE CEOs have already earned what the average worker will make in the year. And if a 113:1 pay disparity feels outrageous, remember: on average the richest 10% pay less of their income in taxes (39%) than the poorest 10% (48%) too.

2025 comes to an end. It’s been a strong year for deployment and innovation, but a worrying one for energy politics. Moves like the US pause on offshore wind show how quickly progress can be undermined by polarised debate. Here’s hoping 2026 brings calmer, more evidence-based energy policymaking.

From FB. This is Scotlands future to. Think carefully in '26', vote for SNP. England please, this is ur future as well. Do you really want this?. 🤔

One of our favourite clips from 2025. 🔥 In case you missed it...Munya nailed it on Newsnight. 🔥 The root of Britain's problems is inequality, not immigration. And the only minority responsible are the greedy, selfish super-rich. #TaxTheSuperRich #WealthTaxNow

“Why aren’t Americans stopping this?!” We’re trying. But we don’t have snap elections or no-confidence votes, our political system has evolved to strangle popular opposition(especially in the Democratic Party), the establishment with agency is indifferent, and no one gives a damn about us.

That Arty Davies hasn’t jumped ship to Reform is astounding.Given his views,he’d fit in very well.Looks like they have the same source,and surprised that Arty didn’t include “Wales needs Reform UK”🥴😂 What 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 needs is a govt+politicians that put our communities first,not Westmin/Russian cheerleaders

Funny, because Orbán will see that the idea is actually not dead. Russia’s constant escalations will likely force Europe to use the assets. The war is far from over, and Orbán has done everything he could to ensure it doesn’t end by helping the aggressor

Since David Frost has NEVER been right about anything at any point when it comes to Brexit, this feels like a strong endorsement for our participation in Erasmus.

President Clinton is right. This is not getting as much attnetion as it should. The USA under Trumpstein is betraying this promise, which means any agreement involving Russia and the USA is not worth the paper it’s written on 🤷‍♂️ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapes...

You do not gotta hand it to the IRA but you do have to concede they were doing actual murderous terrorism, so it seems somewhat unusual that we are treating anti-genocide activists and members of the public protesting like they are literally terrorists seeking to destroy the state.

Ah yes, Boris Johnson—the genius who kick-started Brexit (a movement largely driven by stopping immigration) by pushing migration to record highs, has this to say 👇🙄

Guam's Attorney-General is anti-choice and has repeatedly tried to reinstate the island's abortion ban, which has an injunction against it. He asked for a rehearing at the Supreme Court, but many doctors and healthcare groups have formally opposed this, and now the Governor has too.
