The average U.K household pays 39p - 50 U.S cents - a day to fund a clean, secure, domestic energy system. This is a bargain, which would have cost even less if Andrew Neil’s right wing heroes had invested North Sea oil and gas revenues instead of using them to fund tax breaks for millionaires.

BREAKING: Nigel Farage calls for an end to working from home and the focus on work-life balance "People aren't more productive working from home - it's a load of nonsense” Whatever you do JUST DON’T VOTE REFORM!

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

This is really quite shocking

That last point. She’s exactly right.

And rename the House of Lords “The House of Scoundrels, Rogues, Thieves and Bounders.” (With apologies to the small number of members who are genuinely hardworking and honourable).

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"? Well, it happens they were doing exactly that. www.cbsnews.com/news/google-...

Blink and you'll miss it - another Labour manifesto promise broken.

We've spent ten years being proved right about all the things the loudest, biggest voices in the UK media insisted, often obnoxiously, we were wrong about. The real kicker is that there's no consolation whatsoever in being correct. Brexit, Putin, Johnson, Truss, Trump, Twitter, Netanyahu etc etc...

Here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.

No interest in working with Keir Starmer. The public know who he is. We're replacing Labour - and taking on Reform. No vested interests. Just standing with the 99%. And that's powerful. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Ball. His court.

Unhook ourselves from oil and gas and we unhook ourselves from dependency on dictators, autocrats and expansionist regimes all over the planet. Renewables and other low-carbon energy sources are not just good climate sense. They are also good political sense.

I'd take it as a compliment 😀

If the right to free speech does not include the right to oppose an active genocide using strong and unmitigated language, then there is no freedom of speech. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/if-youre-n...

The government has launched an investigation into “countering foreign influence and interference in UK politics”. Which is fantastic news but they need to crack on with it now. www.thetimes.com/article/80cd...

Gold trading company Direct Bullion, which has paid Nigel Farage £415,000 faces winding up order from HMRC over non-payment of tax. www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/6822673...

The fascists are organising a carol concert in London to "draw attention to unchecked immigration and the fading of our cultural heritage". What would Woody do? Write an anti-fascist Xmas carol and sing it at the counter demo. www.youtube.com/watch?v=liRd...

Why should young people participate in an economy that offers them no hope for the future? The inter-generational bargain that kept British capitalism afloat has collapsed - and Labour is too busy listening to corporate lobbyists to do anything about it. graceblakeley.substack.com/p/generation...

Keep going, Zack @zackpolanski.bsky.social - you're now being yelled at by the far right, the conservative Government and the official Conservatives. A better future is possible; it's just not wanted by vested interests. There is your best opportunity. And biggest threat.

Let’s face it, Britain is full of characters. 😂 Our quirks, our eccentricities, our lovable weirdness—this is what makes this country so great. Share a photo celebrating the people that make Britain the place we’re proud to call home. #Together #Hopecore

Rachel Reeves says this Labour Governments decisions are "necessary." Why is it always necessary to hit the living standards of the 99%? When are we going to make the necessary decisions about extreme wealth?

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.” It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

Cruel. Callous. Cowardly. The public are seeing this Labour government for exactly who they are. We all have a responsibility to make them pay at the ballot box. Reject the hate. Reject them. This is not who we are. Let's make hope normal again. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Since Trump’s ‘ceasefire’, Israel killed 900 Palestinians in Gaza. In the West Bank, 691 Palestinians were kidnapped during 1,503 invasions. If the victims had been Israelis, the Western media would have been (rightly) protesting these pogroms. Now? A guilty silence prevails...

English councils plan to sell off social clubs and sports centres to balance books. Social spaces lost forever. Libraries, community centres, school playgrounds, parks closed/sold as council funding cut in real terms to appease the rich. Social vandalism.

Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new. This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Wow! Turn up the volume! Congrats, NYC!

"Polanski has blended anger with hope. “Hope is much more difficult to sell than outrage, but he’s finding a way to do it that connects with people.” Let's make hope normal again! observer.co.uk/news/politic...

The circumstances in which fHarm animals are put are cruel abusive and sickening 😡They don’t deserve this. Animal fHarming is backward and outdated. #EndAnimalExploitation We can do better: live a vegan lifestyle ✌️

Hannan and Frost in the Telegraph. Sunak in the Times. Kwasi Kwarteng in the iPaper. Johnson in the Mail. Gove editing the Spectator. Farage everywhere. All of them shamelessly honking out their ‘Listen to me!’ garbage, as the country flails around in the unbelievable mess they’ve made. Nauseating.

Get rid of the monarchy. Ditch the aristocracy. Bin the House of Lords. Democracy at every stage, with an emphasis on transparency, scrupulousness and ethics in politics.

X is a cesspit led by an unhinged billionaire who is desperately trying to stir up civil war in Britain. Nobody with any sense or decency should be there. No organisations, government departments, or politicians should be there. Everyone who is, is enabling this monster.

1. It's fascinating to see, as you can from the responses to the post below, how many daft things people believe, to justify their continued meat eating. So let's examine a few of the common myths in the following thread. 🧵

I've got lots of things to say about Jeremy Clarkson. Really not worth it. He knows his game is over and so is resorting to personal attacks. Piss him off instead and Join.greenparty.org.uk
