Each year nuclear adds only as much net global power capacity as renewables add every two days.

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

Internal documents suggest some PFAS manufacturers became aware of health risks associated with PFAS as early as the 1960s + 70s. In spite of this, they continued making PFAS, apparently without warning the public. share.google/GSz5CMPJDhUI... 2/4

Last week, a worker one of Amazon's Portland area facilities died on the warehouse floor. Employees were told to look away and keep working. A new story by @ryanjhaas.bsky.social for @thewesternedge.bsky.social - reporting this news first. www.thewesternedge.media/p/everyone-i...

Sky hill bills. Rising rents. And more energy spikes coming down the track. We should be investing in renewable energy to lower our bills - and end Rip Off Britain. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Landmines are coming back to Europe - quietly. Countries like Poland are already moving toward using them. Others may follow. They don’t stop killing when wars end. We can still stop this, but we need to act now. action.wemove.eu/sign/2026-04...

£32m spent by water firms… not on fixing leaks or stopping sewage, but on lawyers to push our bills even higher. They’ve racked up £82bn in debt, paid £85bn to shareholders, and they’re still squeezing us for more. Why is this scam allowed to continue?

This does seem to be quite a sensible idea, doesn’t it? Baffling that some people think otherwise.

Wanna know who the real “environmental terrorists” are? 👀 Billionaires hoarding wealth, trashing the planet and destroying nature. A person in the richest 0.1% produces more carbon pollution in a single day than someone in the bottom 50% produces in an entire year (Oxfam International).

It's the Second Dumbing.

If freedom is conceived as non-domination, can we be truly free in an economy marked by large and persistent concentrations of wealth? Read about our discussion with @stuartgwhite.bsky.social and @uclpolicylab.bsky.social at www.faircomment.co.uk/p/why-wealth...

Sustainability expert Prof Peter Newman @curtinuniversity.bsky.social says adverts for behavioural change don't work What will work is action to speed up the transition to electric transport A "no-brainer" Let's lead the world in electrification, and not in how much fossil fuel we store

There's a simple means of telling whether someone can be trusted: when they get something wrong, do they admit it? A consistent feature of Trump and the Maga crowd, of Farage, Truss, Johnson, Le Pen, Weidel and their counterparts around the world is that they do not admit to getting things wrong.

A wealth tax can be part of a wider tax reform package. We would also advocate much steeper progressive income tax, a hike on CGT, and the conversion of council tax into a progressive property tax. We should also look at Land Valuation Tax.

Private companies making super-profits from the NHS is an unacceptable waste. That money should go to frontline services, not corporate profits. The NHS should use its buying power to drive down costs, not be taken for a ride.

The name fooled a lot of people. For years, the BBC used Claire Fox as its "leftwing" voice on the Moral Maze, though her positions were clearly extreme right. The line-up was typically: hard right (Melanie Phillips etc), right, centrist and far right. Which is more or less the BBC idea of balance.

NATO allies are refusing to join Trump’s Strait of Hormuz blockade. Britain and France have rejected the plan, with Macron proposing a multinational mission instead. Allies are pushing diplomatic, non-military solutions as Trump’s blockade begins.

Zack Polanski launches the Green Party’s local election campaign by “calling on the Government to withdraw the UK-Israel trade agreement and end the genocide.”

I agree with Zack Polanski on this - 100%. Hard to understand why it’s not been done already.

I think the biggest gulf that’s opened between me and some of my readers is that I’m daily disgusted by the Democratic Party. I’ll always vote Democratic and see a vast gulf between MAGAs and Democrats—but the *party* is craven and pathetic and I no longer trust *any* politician.

It's a good night to read this excellent piece, on the Orban regime's network of financial support for the nationalist right in Britain. For many on the radical right, the tills are about to stop ringing. democracyforsale.substack.com/p/orbans-brits

Fortescue says ditching fossil fuels is a "no-brainer." So why aren't other companies rushing to follow? reneweconomy.com.au/fortescue-sa...

Orban was Putin's guy in the EU. Blocking aid to Ukraine gets talked about. What's less talked about is the Hungarian dependence on Russian gas and how Orban was used to block EU climate initiatives. Fossil fuels are at the heart of all these despots..

When gas prices spike after Trump's Iran war, renewables step in and cut the cost. Now the largest offshore wind farm in the world has just reached Norfolk. So why does Reform UK double down on fossil fuels? eastangliabylines.co.uk/energy/world...

But why has China become a global leader in renewable energy production? Because the fossil fuel industry has used its enormous influence (and funding) to attack any moves towards a transition to renewable energy in the West, using both the libertarian & far right political movements & the media.

Democracy can still fight back. Hungary just proved that change is never impossible 🇭🇺

Use of dangerous driving as a weapon against passengers is something that needs to be better recognised. In domestic abuse cases, and also anywhere else that someone is threatened in such a manner. It couldn't be more clear who is in control, and who is being controlled. It's about public safety.

BREAKING NEWS: Pathetic and Grotesque Authoritarian Putin Stooge Orban Tossed Out of Power As Pathetic and Grotesque Authoritarian Putin Stooge Trump Remains in Power

BREAKING: Hungary just saw a stunning political shakeup. Opposition leader Péter Magyar says Prime Minister Viktor Orbán personally called to congratulate him on his victory, marking the imminent end to Orbán’s long grip on power.

YIKES — Trump ENERGY Secretary Chris Wright (a fracking exec) tries to claim we don’t subsidize fossil fuels and gets FACT-CHECKED 🤥… by Stephen Miller’s wife

Reports say Netanyahu pitched war with Iran to every U.S. president—and got rejected every time. Then he switched tactics: skip the briefing, make a video, and aim it at the one guy too impatient to read and too impulsive to think. #TrumpIsDumbAsFuck

I watched the video. That’s definitely what he said!

"We can reject the hate of Reform...we can bring in a politics that actually benefits people's lives"

Hey all, now we’re in purdah - which means the broadcasters HAVE to give (by law) coverage to all the parties with significant numbers contesting the local elections in England and the Scottish & Welsh Parliament elections. Let us know what you perceive because they’ll still find ways to spin.

Argentina is a warning 🇦🇷 Its president faces allegations over promoting crypto. It surged, then crashed. Influence bought. Politicians profit. Public pays. Farage has promoted crypto and his party bankrolled by billionaires. Crypto money is getting too close to politics.
