Disgusting reporting by BBC using a tiny number of cases to suggest widespread abuse of a system which routinely denies LGBTQIA+ individuals asylum and forces them back into environments of persecution. This article massively distorts the reality of the situation. 1/ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Peter Magyar confirmed that Szijjarto, Orbán's FM, has barricaded himself with some of his closest colleagues and is shredding documents related to the sanctions on Russia any other evidence of treason.

your party was a 10 month long sociological experiment conducted by harvard university. the study is now complete, thank you for your time

toasting the end of Orbán - cheers!

Matt Goodwin looking for a new authoritarian regime to simp for

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise. He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media. The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

oh god oh fuck I took the metro to the Tisza rally and all these kids POURED OUT of the train at the stop and started running up the escalators chanting, and briefly held hands with the older people leaving the rally and going down on the escalator, and I think I may actually just cry

never thought I’d see this day for Hungary! 🇭🇺 🙌🏻 🎉 so happy and will look to finally visit Budapest ❤️

Your regular reminder that the US had a pain-stakingly negotiated and workable deal with Iran when Trump came to power, but he tore it up. He's now desperately trying to secure a deal much worse than the one he set aside.

"The only way to get energy independence is to go even more quickly to renewables because we are not going to get it on the international markets." Here's the full clip of Keir Starmer's interview with ITV News where he discusses UK energy, including renewables and North Sea

This woman is facing a copyright claim for her own music by an AI company that took her youtube page and copied her.

love that Melania speech, she really called out the catgagating on social media and made it so clear she had had only a trival encounter with Epstein's pasadise of sweet teats

i’m sorry but this article fails to convey how camp it is that some woman was just standing outside a Soho bar smoking a fag with a fabergé egg in her Givenchy bag before it got nicked by maybe the luckiest bag-snatcher alive (until he got arrested)

For the first time ever, heat pumps outsold gas boilers in Germany in 2025. 48% of all new heating systems installed last year were heat pumps. Gas fell to just 39%. A decade ago, heat pumps had a 7% market share. The transformation has been remarkable.

Something extraordinary – yet predictable – has happened over recent days on Facebook. Fake accounts that usually post anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim content generated using AI to fuel division and hate in UK are now pushing out AI-gen content asking: "Should the UK produce its own fuel again?"

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

Zarah Sultana, self-appointed paragon of virtue, thinks that banning an antisemite from performing at a music festival is pathetic. It is always: "stand up to racism". Just not that sort of racism, it seems.

we had four years where we didn’t have to wake up and immediately check the news to see what new nightmare the president has threatened to inflict on the world every morning and 77 million people voted that we should have to do that again and I will never get over it

good

It's surprising to me how little discussion in the UK there is of the massive progress there has been of making the economy less natural gas dependent. Gas is just 3% of electricity generation today. Total gas use fell by 26% from 2022 to 2024, after Russia invaded Ukraine

The road to forgiveness does not have to make a stop at the headlining stage of a music festival

Extremely evil/cursed take from the WaPo this morning

For the avoidance of doubt, those who are arguing for “drill baby drill” really don’t get the seriousness of the situation. We should not be falling back on technologies that damage us, our economy and our future, but rather be embracing increasingly cheap and reliable home grown renewable energy.

We are in our second fossil energy crisis in less than half a decade. The political discussion is about how we can extract more fossil fuels, encouraging our consumption of them, and avoiding any discussion about reduced use. We are just not serious people.

Princess Anne continues to merge with the Christopher Walken meme

All of the major British Jewish communal organisations have condemned the Wireless Festival decision to have Kanye West headline in Finsbury Park this July. Wireless (and Pepsi, who are sponsoring) haven’t bothered to comment. www.jewishnews.co.uk/wireless-fes...

What the actual fuck are Wireless playing at here

I swear to god it's just the same story every two days

OOPS! GB News owner Paul Marshall tried to rebut Christian leaders, who criticised his channel's dodgy climate coverage…but in the process he made 25 dodgy claims of his own 🫠 Impressively, he packed the 25 dodgy claims into just 340 words 👏 Receipts: docs.google.com/docu...

Kanye West headlining anything in the UK is an absolutely wild and truly gross decision and I hope Live Nation are absolutely crucified for this Wireless announcement. Politicians who have previously claimed they care about antisemitism at music festivals should really be up in arms about this!

"In reality, he was already prime minister" would haunt me for the rest of my waking life. It would actually be better if AI had written it than to admit I made this mistake.

Strikes me as an absurd threat, either we need the 4000 new training places or we don’t

Am not an energy analyst but why does seem every interview with a U.K. minister this week included a pointed question about why not drilling more in North Sea and almost none about renewables/net zero as an energy security imperative? It’s bizarre, frankly

sighing and adding both "do not build an AI version of my consciousness" and "do not take my body fat and turn it into someone's BBL" to my will

Overweight, overpriced, overheated: if anyone out there is in the market for a 12-ton metaphor for Boris Johnson’s contribution to British national life, you’re in luck.

Unlike the 1970s oil crises, there are now better alternatives: 🔌 EVs + renewables + heat pumps could cut fossil fuel imports by 70% 🚗 EVs alone: $600bn/year in savings Every country has the potential to be energy independent with electrotech. 🔗ember-energy.org/lat...

#energycrisis UK's political right bang out about North Sea oil and gas (red herring, see next post) 😎 Real people just do smart stuff 😎 - solar sales up 50% - heat pump sales up 30% - EV enquires up 30% says Octopus boss (UK's biggest supplier) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

75% of the world lives in fossil fuel importing countries. Every $10 oil price rise adds $160bn/year to the global import bill. The single biggest fix: EVs replacing imported oil in transport could save importers $600bn/year. Read the report: 🔗ember-energy.org/lat...

Deploring Israel's actions as a state isn't antisemitic. Attacking Jews and symbols of Jewish culture in supposed retaliation for Israel's actions is however *textbook* antisemitism and these are not complicated thoughts to simultaneously hold in one's head.

Great to see our @ippr.org report on climate backlash in the FT this morning. Anyone saying there is a breakdown in public support for climate policies is wrong. It’s entirely an elite confection, driven by people who don’t want to change. The strategy should be take them on not accommodate

Within just 48 hours of the Tories refusing to sack Nick Timothy for his Islamophobic comments, the far-right is circulating a list of MPs “of foreign descent” trying to “silence” him. [1/2]

Just had this flagged with me. This is disgusting. If Kemi Badenoch had one ounce of leadership in her, she would condemn this. I don’t want any faux sadness from her or Nick Timothy when one of us is hurt or worse. This is how low the Conservative Party have sunk.

@acjsissons.bsky.social had a good proposal

Let's imagine what this tweet would have looked like if a left-winger had said Jews praying in public was "an act of domination".

Very interesting announcement from Neso just landed in my inbox - they're going to make it easier for people in Great Britain to hook up their home batteries, EVs or heat pumps to the grid so that energy suppliers can switch these devices on or off when needed, to help balance the system.
