Worth spending 10 mins reading the analysis for a cogent criticism of the McSweeny strategy.

Batteries are coming to Europe. Earlier this year Europe’s largest battery storage site went live at Blackhillock, Scotland. The facility has a capacity of 300MW/600MWh. Much larger batteries are under development: A huge 1 GW / 4 GWh system is being constructed in Jänschwalde, Germany.

It blows my mind that there are real people who see a post like this and actually believe the whole “Christmas is being cancelled by Muslims” BS 🙄 Let’s have a quick look at what’s happening to Sheffield so you can put your Express reading uncle’s mind at ease!😆 1/15 🧵

Good to see @dougparr.bsky.social from Greenpeace quoted. It’s clear that insulation gives people warmer homes and more disposable income to put back into the economy.

Paul Nowak: "We've got 6,000 people working on electric vehicles in Nissan. We need to be supporting, those British manufacturing and engineering employers to make that transition." 🌍 ⚒️ "There is no contradiction at all between getting to net zero and good quality jobs and economic success."

I'm pleased to be back in the Parliamentary Labour Party and will be pressing on with business as usual representing North East Hertfordshire. My statement on today's news. 👇

Judges keep BANNING climate activists from talking about the climate crisis in their evidence in court... Because they know that juries find them NOT GUILTY when they explain the JUSTIFICATION for their protests

In air pollution hotspots in England & Wales, half the population are people of colour, 48% are on the lowest incomes, and 60% don’t drive Pollution is being unfairly imposed on them, principally by those who drive through their area www.theguardian.com/environment/...

One of those calls you don’t forget in a hurry… www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9Kz...

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK... 78% are murdered by a partner/ex Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety In fact, they voted against them...

Well that was fun while it lasted

Wow - those are quite phenomenal headlines given the details of the story. Ahh look, he’s just a ‘nerdy’ guy. No harm done. You need to scroll down to paragraph 13 of the Sky piece to find the full story! 🧵 1/9

UN assessment of 60 countries' submitted plans for climate action show only a 10% cut in greenhouse gas emissions Nowhere near what is required for sticking to 1.5C As climate change-fuelled hurricane Melissa hits Jamaica you wonder what could shift the dial www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Not just Streeting today, Labour issued this from Anna Turley on Saturday afternoon.

"Massive shovel for Ms Pochin!!!"

🚨 PMQ's 🚨 PM: "I think four councillors in Kent have just been suspended for bringing the party into disrepute." "I mean, that is, bringing the party into disrepute is quite something for a party whose Welsh leader accepts Russian bribes to spread Putin's propaganda."

@shitlawns.bsky.social “7.5 million square meters of artificial grass “ in UK gardens!!

What kind of political party regards leaking Zoom footage as a worse offence than taking bribes from Russia?

UK food inflation is being driven by climate change-induced extreme weather, driving up price of butter, milk, beef, chocolate & coffee The price rises in those staples is contributing 40% of overall food inflation Climate change is hitting peoples' pockets, right now www.ft.com/content/ced8...

Honestly what is the point of a Labour government that won’t take a stand against mass revocation deportation of people with permanent settlement rights? If you won’t stand against anything you stand for nothing.

🚨SHOCKING FACT: Did you know there are 377 Marine Protected Areas in UK waters? And the UK government allows industrial fishing in 374 of them. See the problem here?

We must urgently pass the Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction Bill. Without it, the UK risks losing a seat at the table in key discussions affecting British wildlife. Our seabirds and other species are in decline—let’s pass this Bill and fight to protect them.

Look at the yellow-sickness benefits- bar. It goes up under Tories and down under Labour. Investment in health saves money. Who’d have thought that!

"Another Reform MP has been accused of being in breach of Parliamentary rules, after its deputy leader Richard Tice failed to register lavish hospitality he received from Lubov Chernukhin – wife of a former Russian deputy finance minister" leftfootforward.org/2025/10/refo...

'Some traditions aren't good.' Ain't that the truth!

Mainstream media orgs are incapable of covering the depravity of this administration because the truth sounds like bias. Impartiality doesn’t sound like impartiality when the reality is morally obscene

In 2010, an interviewer told Neil Kinnock that the Labour Party "never used to understand aspiration". Kinnock gave an absolutely brilliant answer that should be learned by heart by every Labour MP. (0.42 to 1.22) www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGhP...

SHOCKING: Earth's first catastrophic climate tipping point has been reached, according to a new report. Coral reefs are now facing ‘widespread dieback’. How are we STILL burning fossil fuels and wrecking oceans while Earth’s life support systems collapse?

"In Britain only 4 per cent earn over £100,000"

Fantastic comments from the audience on #bbcqt. Politicians should take note and stop stoking division and fear. "The vast majority of people in this country live very happily and very peacefully together." 👏

“I think China is using [clean technology] in a very, very geopolitically savvy way, taking advantage of America’s stupidity and regression back into a petrostate. China just wins. America has abrogated the playing field.” www.ft.com/content/013e...

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

My first year of Symble. More fun than Wordle imo.

And yes I know it’s a long way away, lots of water under the bridge before then etc. But the next election is probably going to be about which bloc - the Lab-Lib-Green-etc left or the Tory-Reform right - unites first in vaguely workable fashion, and how well its voters understand what to do where.

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

Great playlist showing just how talented and versatile was Danny Thompson RIP

See the reply from Douglas Bader’s (WW2 hero) relatives Superb!

Wait a minute, where is Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage to defend our free speech?

Read this thread. Spot on analysis.

The Nigel Farage who wrote this about Charlie Kirk's murder will be furious at the Nigel Farage who made Lucy Connolly a star of the Reform conference
