A small sample of Tice's approach to facts, evidence, reason, etc...

Bloomberg’s Akshat Rathi interviewed the deputy leader of the UK‘s reform party about climate change and the energy transition. A shocking conversation. Every person allowed to vote in the UK should listen to this. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This is Reform UK "Tice threatened to walk out of the interview when presented with information from the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Tice said he “fundamentally disagreed” with it, but declined to name advisers who said the science was wrong" www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

If this isn't "designed to stir up hatred" against Jews, what is? Why are the Met not arresting them?

Where’s the fury about rightwing antisemitism? The newspapers that call out leftwing antisemitism publish antisemitic cartoons and champion politicians with a record of antisemitic statements. So who is holding *them* to account? This week’s column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Have you ever found yourself quoted online for something you never said? We've seen a few examples of academics having their voice used for quotes they never said in fake news websites and in AI chatbots – but think there's a lot more If that's you shoot me a DM or comment here #journorequest

The Palentir statement on its desired “Technological Republic” is one of the scariest things I have seen in a while. It is a call for a world dominated by an authoritarian U.S., generated by AI (both the statement and the world), run by tech-surveillance companies. Technofascism pure!

UK folks what is going on with all this? The whole spectacle of blaming renewables for the crippling impacts of fossil gas is.......some pretty stunningly wild gymnastics. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Reform Essex activist who hosted Nigel Farage at his tanning salon is also a Nazi superfan who believes that "Hitler was right." Excellent work from @hopenothate.org.uk hopenothate.org.uk/2026/04/14/n...

Quite a flex to turn up at the presidential palace, get him to confirm you as prime minister, call him unfit to serve with no moral authority, tell him to resign, and then pose for a picture

A Synagogue in North London was targeted by an arson attack overnight. I shouldn't have to say this, but after the ambulance attack, I clearly do. If you start talking about a "false flag", or blaming "Israel" for this, you're a despicable human being. www.jewishnews.co.uk/police-inves...

It take weapons grade arrogance to invent popesplaining.

@prospectmagazine.co.uk why invite the UK's main fossil fuel lobby group (OEUK) to sponsor "sensible" coverage of net zero? It's not journalistic balance, it's being in the pockets of vested interests. It undermines your climate reporting Does a "sensible discussion" mean pro-fossil fuels?

Two weeks ago, the Hungarian opposition was bracing for a false flag operation, an "emergency" that would allow Viktor Orban to turn the tide or even cancel an election he is losing. Now it appears to have arrived

A different perspective. Always helpful.

The next tipping point in the energy transition is approaching. Overall, solar has already been cheaper than fossil power for a while, but upfront costs used to be higher. That's no longer the case. Solar is now competitive upfront AND has vastly lower operating costs (no fuel).

Honestly I've let dozens of these go but this endless stream of antisemitism just proves everything I was saying in the post. (For the hard of thinking the ambulances were used for the whole community regardless of religion, and even if they weren't racist arson would still be unacceptable.)

Did BBC radio 4 #Today programme really just do a whole package about drilling in the N Sea without once even mentioning #climate change? And not having anyone challenging the one-sided claims of former BP boss? So irresponsible #bbcr4today
