UK Government poised to take a retrograde step by cutting heat-pump support, restricting subsidies only to those on certain benefits. This risks slowing the energy transition and raising the cost of #Retrofit for existing homes

I've just added my name to tell Keir Starmer to STOP Rosebank, the UK's largest undeveloped oil field - will you add your name too? It takes just 20 seconds: act.stoprosebank.org.uk/a/keir-starm...

Exxon CEO has shown up to his third consecutive COP meeting, even as his peers have stopped coming. It raises the question of what he wants to accomplish by engaging the climate world. I sat down with him for a podcast interview. Here's what I learned: 🎁🔗 www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

The NHS is, after the cost-of-living crisis, one of the things voters think is most important. Right now it is struggling, so we and @keepournhspublic.bsky.social helped @richardburgon.bsky.social launch a new Working Group in Parliament for MPs and Peers. 99-percent.org/scoring-the-...

🚨 BREAKING: Lawmakers in the European Parliament have agreed to exempt more companies from green reporting rules after the center-right, right-wing and far-right groups joined forces to pass the EU’s first omnibus simplification package. Read the story: www.politico.eu/article/epp-...

Children’s TV nowadays? ‘Sooty, Sweep & Robby’ is my 4 year old granddaughter’s favourite programme. She loves Sooty’s magic tricks, Sweep’s stupid jokes and Robby’s really silly speeches. 😊

Given that the far right hates Black and Brown people, hates women, hates immigrants, hates liberals, leftists and greens, hates students and universities, hates civil servants, hates disabled people, hates gay and trans people and hates Jews and Muslims, what is this country it claims to love?

Meta is scrambling to mask its rising emissions: first by buying dodgy pseudo-offsets to make its emissions align with its "target" (🤔), and more recently, by joining a lobby group pushing to redefine how emissions are measured www.crikey.com.au/2025/09/29/m... www.crikey.com.au/2025/10/03/m...

Breaking News! Code UFB!!! The three-year running mean for the global surface temperature anomaly now exceeds 1.50°C over the pre-industrial baseline, as of November 8, 2025. Are you there, COP 30? It's me, the Paris Agreement.

A decade ago, solar power barely registered in Hungary’s electricity mix — just 0.2% of generation. Back then, nuclear, coal, and gas dominated the grid. Fast forward ten years and solar power now supplies around 1/4 of Hungary’s electricity — a remarkable transformation.

The installed capacity of carbon capture and storage is about 50 megatonnes per annum of carbon, but it actually captures about 30 a year Have been hunting for this number for a LONG time - buried in a DNV CCS report -> brandcentral.dnv.com/original/gal...

A person is not "qualified" to be PM in the same way as they are qualified to be a surgeon or a mechanic. You can picture Polanski learning the technical aspects of government a lot more easily than you can picture Farage or Starmer acquiring the necessary ethical or humanistic qualities.

"I’m convinced that it’s the cost of living, not immigration, that voters care about. The Green party is the only party honest enough not to try to conflate the two for political convenience." – @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Blimey. Calm, composed, serious answers in the face of frankly ludicrous questioning. Trevor Philips struggling to string a sentence together; the media are SO unused to this... 🤡

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Most MPs go back to their constituencies on a Friday and hold surgeries. Guess where Farage was

Agree “Nothing I have seen or heard gives me comfort that Rachel Reeves understands the importance of nature to economic and social wellbeing, nothing,” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social really, no really? So Labour will throw money at/protect its monied friends at the Banks, but long term strategic investment for the benefit of all is just too hard? Starmer’s Labour really does not care about ordinary people eh!

The first thing Yaxley-Lennon did on leaving court was to thank Elon Musk for funding his legal costs. That's Elon Musk who has repeatedly called for civil war in the UK. As of typing this - all of the major politicians and platforms maintain a presence on X and it is time for them all to leave.

I've finally got around to curating a selection of films about the #climate crisis 🎥 There's lot of mediocre climate films out there, but for me these stand out head & shoulders above the rest 🎞️ They make excellent resources for classrooms, lecture halls, or community cinema's 🎬 Thread:🧵Plz RT

All of The Green Party MPs voted to keep the rights that Nigel Farage wants to take away from you.

I'm finding more and more right wing bots like this on my timeline. They post articles from right wing websites at a rate of almost 2 per minute. Is this our future? What should be done?

Rachel Reeves could slash the Cash ISA limit to £4K — a win for hedge funds, a loss for the rest of us 💸 Even the banks are against it. Tell the govt to protect savers, not risky investments! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

Nigel Farage is unveiling legislation to leave the ECHR. His arguments are wrong – and that move would be a disaster. @goodlawproject.bsky.social have the facts: goodlaw.social/ngjm

Interesting interview with Zack. His positioning and marketing is now established. He's been onboarding the left and is also open to decent Tories joining the Greens while clearly signaling there will be no compromise of Green values. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDj5...

Pretty much how Labour / tories see it also.

As we approach Rachel Reeves desperately stupid budget a reminder that UK taxes are some of the lowest in Europe. Which is why the UK has some of the worst inequality and higher poverty than most of Europe. ifs.org.uk/taxlab/taxla...

For the Reform (2025 Ltd) Party curious, just consider where Farage wants to lead you - into US model 'health care'👇🏼 Over £20,000 a family per year

‘Poorly thought through’: UK food firms say packaging tax is pushing up prices

New from Mums for Lungs: "Despite 15,195 complaints from residents across England about harmful wood burning, enforcement remains virtually non-existent. "With only 24 fines issued, the data suggest that on average, residents would have to complain around 630 times before a single fine is imposed."

Nelson's Victory crew included a Brazilian and a Russian, 2 Indians, 2 Swiss, 2 Portuguese, 3 Danes and 3 Norwegian sailors.

“The truth no longer matters, all you have to do is go viral”

Glad to hear Keir Starmer is finally making the right decision to attend climate talks. Now let's talk about taxing wealth.
