“The Charity Commission took at face value the IEA’s assurances, without seeing any tangible, real-world evidence that it was becoming more transparent and neutral. Indeed, all the evidence actually points in the opposite direction.”

🔴 Tufton Street’s influence is epitomised by the Charity Commission’s total failure to regulate Tufton Street. 📝 A new rant about the regulator’s latest investigation into the IEA 👇

Next time you hear energy-hungry big tech claiming to be the solution to climate change, remember Nvidia was in Brazil pushing technology to aid oil and gas exploration … on the eve of COP30

Nvidia Flogged AI for Brazilian Oil and Gas on Eve of COP30 The tech giant was in Rio de Janeiro hawking AI software to fossil fuel firms just days before crucial climate crisis negotiations in the Amazon. My reporting today @desmog.com www.desmog.com/2025/11/07/n...

The Charity Commission 'investigation' of a 'charity' (which is really a free market lobbyist that doesn't declare its funders) incredibly accepts assurances that it isn't an overtly political body. writesbright.substack.com/p/captured-b...

Today a story I've spent months reporting and writing runs on @desmog.com and @theguardian.com. It's based on hundreds of exclusive documents revealing how Exxon funded the rightwing Atlas Network to spread climate denial across Latin America and the Global South. www.desmog.com/2025/11/03/a...

Reminder that, of the identified UK funding to Tufton St. think tanks, around 46% of the money going to these "impartial" organisations comes from foundations run by, or with a Tory peer sitting on the board of trustees. They don't declare their donors, and almost all hold dire transparency ratings

5 November - Charity Commission demands more political neutrality and transparency from the IEA 6 November - the IEA (which still doesn’t declare its donors) appoints Lord Frost, a climate denier Tory peer, as its new director so much for “neutrality” 🫠

Low bills & clean energy. This is the future that Reform is trying to thwart

I spent a really long time amassing everything you need to know about Labour's vast deals with fossil gas-loving, Trump-donating AI giants out to pepper the world with climate-wrecking data centres...so you don't have to! My reporting for @desmog.com 📖👇

The sheer scale of Labour's deals with Trump-donating Big Tech firms has been seriously under-reported. Not only are they being allowed to build climate-wrecking data centres, they've also been given permission to embed their tech within Whitehall, the NHS, and defence 👇👇 📝 @rtakver.bsky.social

This is the guy Farage wants to be Chancellor - a privately-educated investment banker who made his millions designing a luxury concierge app for the sickeningly rich.

The barefaced irony of Nigel Farage - a man famed for his long boozy lunches - delivering a speech today in which he complained about UK “productivity”

The political news agenda is relentless. We see politics everywhere, yet policy nowhere. There’s an endless parade of faces and slogans on our screens, yet few people actually understand the changes being promised by politicians.

🧵 This piece captures a core problem of the hollow democratic state: politics has become performance, optimised for visibility, not understanding.

Farage is winning because politics has been reduced to clickbait. It’s a shallow spectacle that favours clowns and con-artists. As @jemmaforte.bsky.social says here - politics has been “repackaged into junk food.” But there are ways for the left to fight back 👇🏻

This is a good question from Sam Bright. Why does Graham Stringer still have the Labour whip? He opposes net zero, has backed a far right 'PAC', and - probably of more interest to No 10 - has branded his own Govt 'pathetic'. He's also backed the Sun's self-serving campaign against gambling tax

He's chummy with a far-right PAC and utterly opposed to net zero. So how, asks @writesbright.bsky.social, is Graham Stringer still a Labour MP? writesbright.substack.com/p/how-is-he-...

Yes, because Badenoch’s was a criminal offence carrying a custodial sentence, whereas Reeves’ was not.

🔴 Labour MP Graham Stringer signed an open letter drafted by a far-right group attacking the government. He's also been hanging out with Farage's anti-abortion advisors and is still a director of the UK's leading climate science denial group - run by a Tory peer. 📝 @joeygrostern.bsky.social

I believe the social media and publicity for Question Time is handled by the production company which makes it, Mentorn Media. There’s clearly something seriously awry. #bbcqt

No more blatant example of Question Time’s bias than this. Goodwin is a Reform activist and GB News presenter - you’d have to be intentionally blind to think he’s an academic

The Dubaification of British politics writesbright.substack.com/p/the-dubaif...

The guiding ethos of British politics is to chase marginal increases in GDP even if it means nuking our morals or our democratic values. We have adopted Dubai’s model of authoritarian capitalism - and we’re a much worse country for it

Writing in The Telegraph a couple of days ago, Trump's ambassador to the UK Warren Stephens lobbied the Labour government to drill for North Sea oil and restart fracking. As of a few months ago, Warren Stephens had at least $250 million invested in fossil fuel companies.
