Detailed article on the huge rises in insurance costs for many US households due to the increasing number & intensity of natural disasters but not once does it mention the driving factor - #ClimateChange. @wsj.com see it but they just can’t say the words “climate” & “change”. Wilfully obtuse.

Over the last year recorded global all time record temperatures: - maximum highs outnumbered max lows by 2.75:1 - minimum highs outnumbered min lows by 6.77:1. This isn’t hard to understand - #ClimateChangeIsReal www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/data...

Great to see the tide is really turning, something that trump’s war with Iran will only make all the more urgent as energy security becomes front & centre in the minds of governments globally. www.ft.com/content/d525...

What you get with Reform UK. Spread the word.

Yet again we see the direct consequences of being an insular, boorish superpower that seems completely disinterested in understanding anything beyond its borders.

I don't want to ever hear again from anyone in the #US that they somehow have it so bad with the price of #petrol / #gas when their cost is literally half that of what we pay in #Europe. Go buy something that can do more than 10MPG, or better still an #EV! #IranWar

Our new report: Richard Tice signed accounts wrongly claiming £98,000 of tax exemptions A 🧵 with the evidence:

Please sign this - we the people of the UK need to make it clear to Parliament, in which a tiny minority have sought to block the #AssistedDying bill, of the overwhelming support for the right to die with dignity.

Fucking nailed it.

Closure of Strait of Hormuz isn’t just an energy shock—it ripples through chemicals, fertilizers, and food systems.🌾 Developing countries face the harshest impact, with welfare losses 10–20x higher than in advanced economies. New Kiel Policy Brief 👉 kielinstitut.de/publications... @julianhi.nz

A frankly terrifying potential vision of the near future - global food shortages resulting from fertiliser shortages. All the consequence of the vain, arrogant stupidity of one old man combined with a possible El Niño in 2026 would harm millions of innocent lives. www.ft.com/content/27e0...

Long before it gets to this level, trump will declare an IEPA emergency and block all oil & gas exports from the US. That should get the ex-US price to $200 soon enough.

@marketwatch.com misses the point on this article - the drivers who will "smash right through" the #gasprice will be all the #EV drivers. www.marketwatch.com/story/gas-pr...

Not always a fan of Hastings, but I agree with him here: "Truth is not merely a virtue. It is a weapon, which this administration has wantonly broken with its own hands, even as it wages a shooting war in which scarcely anybody save the Israelis sees merit or reason." The US has lost this war.

Labour MP James Naish presents a petition to Parliament calling for the assisted dying Bill to be enacted without delay, despite having voted against the Bill at Third Reading in the Commons.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

“The oceans had absorbed most of the excess heat, storing about 91 per cent of the energy. Another 5 per cent had warmed the land, 3 per cent heated the ice and 1 per cent warmed the air”. So just 6% of that heat has given us the #GlobalWarming we’re experiencing now. www.ft.com/content/e839...

Thanks to everyone who’s signed so far - the petition now needs to be checked before it can be made more widely available. No representation without taxation!

@hopenothate.org.uk - do you think that tax exiles should be allowed to legislate in Parliament? I don’t. If you agree, please sign this petition- no representation without taxation! bsky.app/profile/dona...

Yet more proof, if any needed, that tax haven exiles shouldn’t be allowed to legislate - no representation without taxation! bsky.app/profile/dona...

New petition - please sign. Our MPs & peers should be taxpayers in the #UK, and not #tax exiles hiding their #wealth in tax havens from the #taxes they decide that everyone else must pay - no representation without taxation! @taxjusticeuk.bsky.social petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

This petition was rejected because it was too similar to another petition: "Stronger penalties for animal cruelty and stricter regulations on animal sales" #RejectedPetition

Turns out net zero is cheaper than a single fossil fuel crisis. 🤷 The sooner we build on clean, home-grown energy, the sooner we stop handing the keys to foreign gas markets. But we also need market reform now - so customers, not just corporations, actually reap the benefits of renewables.

Just received this - while I'm no fan of #Badenoch, this #Reform leaflet is deliberately racist & #islamophobic in depicting her with a headscarf. Ironic when Reform would take us back to the 1950's when all women wore headscarves... @hopenothate.org.uk @stopfundinghate.bsky.social

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

To those who think #ClimateChange is a hoax, this is yet more early evidence that #ClimateChangeIsReal. The #ClimateCrisis is here and will only get a lot worse if we fail to act on #FossilFuel emissions.

Year's worth of British bread lost this decade as extreme weather bites Extreme weather so far in the 2020s has played a major role in creating a total deficit in wheat production of over 7M tonnes - enough wheat to bake over 4BN loaves of bread eciu.net/media/press...

Signed this - I hope you can too, to remind @houseoflords.parliament.uk that the majority of people in 🇬🇧 support the #AssistedDyingBill.

Signed this.

One of the world’s top vampires has been destroyed after exposure to the Sun. An example from 2025 where good appeared to have prevailed over evil.

This is how controversial medical issues should be handled - with evidence-based information from robust clinical trials and not, as some would have it, from unreliable anecdotal sources, selective data or outright untruths. #ScienceIsTruth #AskForEvidence

To those who question the #BBC license fee, it’s worth it for just #BBCRadio3Unwind - the #MindfulMix are amazing - 3hrs of beautiful, relaxing classical music without any chat or ads. An absolute essential to regain a sense of wellbeing in this era of utter insanity. Couldn’t live without it.

#ClimateCrisis is here & yet ppl still don’t understand “just how serious serious the risks to humanity are, as we rapidly take ourselves out of the climate our entire agriculturally based civilisation is based on”. www.ft.com/content/e995...
