Court throws out £100m Rwanda claim as botched Tory deal branded waste of money. Tory Govt didn't co-operate with the EU to check crossings, strengthen borders. Spent £700m to send failed asylum seekers to Rwanda. Only four volunteers went. UK Supreme Court declared the policy unlawful in 2023.

Net Zero= billions for the economy, millions of high paid jobs throughout the UK & clean air for all. But if you’re earning from fossil fuels, you resent the rest of us benefiting so you lie & mislead.

Reform UK wants to shut this down. If it did so, it would throw a million people out of work. Why? because it is beholden to the fossil fuel industry. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Renewables are READY. 🟢 Wind and solar already dominate new power capacity and beat fossil fuels on cost, with storage and smart grids keeping them reliable. 🟢 Clean, homegrown renewables can shield tens of millions from price shocks and energy blackmail.

Yet another impressive list of achievements and announcements by Starmer’s Government. Some have actually made at least one newspaper !!! #DoingTheMediasJob #FixingBritain #LabourAchievements

2nd list I’ve published today. 9 more announcements made by Starmer’s Gov. busy working & delivering. Bit too busy to attend am dram classes to provide entertainment for the media who continue to ignore them! #DoingTheMediasJob #FixingBritain #LabourAchievements

As you know, they usually fly away just as you get your phone out. Today he let me get a shot!

‘My phone was hacked by the Kremlin who exposed the £5m bung no-one is supposed to know about’ is certainly an interesting new angle.. I wonder if the journalist involved has broken any other major scandals? 🤔 Oh!

Mother Nature doesn’t care about trump. And Trump doesn’t care about her.

The thing about "AI is going to do your job" is that it could work if it follows with "but you still get the money." Automation of jobs must be followed with universal basic income, otherwise the whole economy just collapses.

Reform’s Robert Jenrick: “I’ve been in an immigration removals centre” Yeah, we remember… #trevorphillips #bbclaurak

Truth always comes out.

Holy shit. Lol.

"That's what happens when you elect Nigel Farage fans..." @mrjamesob.bsky.social reacts to two new Reform councillors admitting they don't know what they're doing.

Supermarkets insist price rises are down to war, fuel costs, wage rises… So if that’s the case, why are profits higher than ever? Surely if price rises were essential, profits would remain the same. #costofliving

In 1990, billionaire wealth was 2.5% of global GDP. Their wealth is now 14.1% of GDP. In the UK, it's now 22% of their GDP We absolutely have to get inequality under control. It's the extreme level of inequality that's causing so many of our problems. We need to tax wealth + transactions and do UBI

So the position of PM is still 5 years. Fagash farage is under investigation & there will be facial recognition for far right marchers on Saturday. All in all, a good week.

Meanwhile, in the 21st century

If you’re praising #DavidAttenborough without emphasising his fears for the planet, you’re a muppet.

This robot installs 80 panels/hour. One every 45 sec. 1,920/day ≈ 0.0008 GW/day per line. Sounds small. It’s not. Scale this across thousands of lines and #solar becomes manufacturing, not construction. 👉 10,000 lines = 8 GW/day. That’s HOW China is winning the energy game.

🇳🇴 Norway hits record 98.6% EV share in April, led by VW and Toyota #Norway #EV #VW #Toyota #transportation #environment #climate thedriven.io/2026/05/05/n...

Fixing things will require us to reel in the oligarch class, remove their ability to influence politics, and redistribute their hoarded wealth Until we do so, nothing can fundamentally change for anyone

France passed a law in 2022 requiring car parks to install #solar. * Applies if ≥80 spaces * Must cover at least 50% of area * Exemptions (grid constraints, heritage sites) We did it with disabled spaces why not solar? There are obstacles but none are strong enough to justify not doing it at all!

Under capitalism, new technology that could shorten the workweek and make life easier is being used to throw workers out of jobs, boost stock prices and enrich billionaires.

The clematis is back!

Today in Brexit Britain you are being asked to believe that a Thailand-based cryptocurrency tycoon secretly gave Nigel Farage - the person, not his party - five million pounds without any hope or expectation of getting anything in return.

Crazy that President Zelensky has never demanded a $400 million gold bricked ballroom to feel safe.

I was wrong it wasn’t a hoax. Trump couldn’t possibly have wanted this type of hilarious consequence. Like going on national television to deny being a rspist.

Norway sold 12 petrol cars in February 2026. Out of 7,272 new passenger car registrations, 98% were fully electric. Just 67 diesel & 12 petrol cars were registered. Hybrids? Only 66 in total mostly plug ins. More in my new Substack newsletter coming out every 7 days. Sign up here: t.co/In5lBaF2ox

We’re very sorry to hear about the President’s current troubles. We offer our thoughts and prayers for the entire Trump administration during this difficult period. Now is not the right time to have a policy debate, so let’s not politicize the issue.

Quelle surprise! So it turns out the real scandal of the UK Gorton and Denton by-election was the willingness of media organisations to collude in Nigel Farage's attempt to undermine the result of a free and fair election

Great Britain's electricity grid hit 98.8% zero carbon during a 30-minute period on the afternoon of 22 April, @neso-energy.bsky.social says. Solar generation may (they're still checking) have hit a record 15 GW between 1200 and 1300 on 23 April, also.

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”. Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

@bsky.app I’ve got a 503 error

This seems to be a crucial time to read and write as much as we can. Resist the dumbening!

Here we go - 11 new announcements/achievements hardly whispered by our media. Or as a token gesture, shoved on page 13. Good things happening under our Labour Government. #DoingTheMediasJob #LaboursAchievements #FixingBritain

BOOM! South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less. THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis. #EnergyRevolution

☀️ Big news for UK households! Low-cost plug-in solar panels under 800 W will soon be legal, no qualified electrician needed. Expected on sale by summer 2026, these portable systems could make home solar more accessible than ever and help grow the UK’s renewable energy footprint. 🌱⚡

Springtime in #Devon because you have to escape the madness from time to time.

Iran posted this as a video. Made an update. 🤡

Nothing says “I cannot cope with lying politicians” like backing, er, Nigel Farage and, um… ‘In 2022, Delo pleaded guilty to a United States Bank Secrecy Act violation and received a 30-month probation sentence. In 2025, Delo was pardoned by President Donald Trump.’

Uruguay generates nearly 43% of its electricity from wind and solar. In 2010, the share was less than 1%. Most of the rest if hydro. Today, Uruguay produces nearly 99% of its electricity from renewable sources. More here www.forbes.com/sites/kensil...

Britain’s special relationship is with our closest neighbours in the EU not with the failing Trumpistan.

How can Donald Trump still remain in office after yesterday? What an absolute failure and disgrace. Invaded a country without doing any due diligence.

I have a dream that one day all the people will realize they are free. Hemp can save the world. Renewable energy is cheaper than oil. The super battery is real and being sold in a single motor vehicle. Room temperature super conductor is possible. Scarcity is by design, rarity raises prices.

When I submitted this manuscript in 2019 my publisher told me to elaborate the sex & violence because that’s what people want. They were right, this is still my most popular book. www.amazon.co.uk/Grind-Ian-Pa... #booksky
