How is it the power grid couldn’t handle electric cars but it will be fine with all these data centers?

Rise in NHS hospital admissions following private treatment in Scotland. Those who can afford it are using private hospitals for treatment. When something goes wrong or not covered by insurance, they are dumped on to the NHS. Profits privatised, costs socialised. archive.ph/7MFAb

Today is a parade of the prejudices and priorities of our ruling class. Britain would be better off if we pulled the plug entirely.

Over 1/2 the UK’s electricity is now renewable.Amazing what happens when you stop treating wind & the sun as a left-wing conspiracy “UK renewables now generate over half of the country’s electricity, with approvals hitting record levels and Miliband targeting 95% clean power by 2030” The Guardian

Coming from the most corrupt Administration in American history, this is an honor I'll treasure forever.

you know what, you were all right I hated season 8 of GoT and never watched S2 of House of the Dragon but Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is annoyingly excellent

New petition: "Hold a referendum to bring the water industry into public ownership" Deadline 1 October 2026, created by Ashley Paul Smith #NewPetition

Climate change is "unequivocally to blame" for extreme heat And equally unequivocal is blame on the corporations who profit from accelerating the climate crisis: 🔥 oil, gas and coal 🐄 factory farms 🪓 destroying forests and other nature 🚗 keeping society hooked on polluting transport

If other news was reported like climate change:

We are living in a time of emboldened racism. It's like the 1950s, only sadder because we actually went through a few decades when most people knew better. (Or at least knew to keep quiet in public.)

Before we hear it on the news or see it online, we will know. Cars horns honking, touchdown level cries of joy, spontaneous street parties, long overdue happy tears. Champagne popped and shared with strangers. The whole world will come to a stop and come together. Yes, we will know.

I think we can trace the decline of modern Britain from the point at which we stopped putting a donk on it.

You've led your last Zeppelin

You've ironed your last maiden

You've buzzed your last cock.

Unfortunately I can't make the debate on second jobs as I'm in America for a speaking engagement before coming back to promote gold bullion then doing my GB News show and squeezing in a few Cameo recordings before bed.

Divine did not eat actual dog shit so you could tell me AI is "inevitable".

“Dear migrants, before I say any other word to you, I want to bow before your dignity. “You are not numbers or case files. “You are people — with a family and a home left behind, with dreams that no one has the right to scorn.” — Pope Leo XIV

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

Meet James Purnell. Andy Burnham's chief of staff. In earlier incarnation, he supported the Iraq invasion; was chairman of Labour Friends of Israel; said that Winter Fuel Allowance and free bus passes should not be sacred; supported PFI, lie-detector tests for benefit claimants. What next?

While you're cooking in the heat this week, do bear this in mind.

strange, and alarming, how quickly we adapt we should be on the streets calling out the Big Tech, fossil fuel companies and all the govts who have ignored the coming climate crisis for decades we are like frogs in a pan of water, slowly heated to boiling point and obliviou to our fate

Just surprised no-one’s asked has he declared it to HMRC. If waiters are supposed to pay tax on tips then the same rules should apply to him as it’s just a very large gratuity #JustAThought

Sorry, Kemi, I'm too busy melting to digest your latest fossil fuel worship

As a matter of URGENCY, PLEASE could 100,000 of you sign this petition in the next week: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/77...

Rare red warning. Risk to life. Stay out of the sun. Avoid unnecessary exposure. Picture editor: "Counterpoint: Run the fun-on-the-beach shots?" We won't improve heat coverage until we stop illustrating public health emergencies with beach photos. www.independent.co.uk/weather/heat...

Current heatwave in Paris, bitumen sidewalk exposed directly to the sun, 58°C. 20 meters away, same bitumen but under trees, 35°C. The first one will release an uncanny amount of heat throughout the night, preventing street cooling after sunset.

Oh yeah, the problem with British policing is that is hasn't prostrated itself enough to the whims of fucking racists who by total coincidence all look exactly like this absolute gammon cunt.

History will judge Keir Starmer as a man who lied his way to the top of the Labour Party and then used that power to evoke Enoch Powell with “island of strangers”, keep children in poverty, attack disabled people, scapegoat refugees, strip back civil liberties, and hand public services to Palantir.

moving onto our 7th prime minister in a decade, i wonder if anyone thinks we should try having a left wing party again and not varying shades of the right wing under different names

Keir Starmer lied through his teeth to become Labour leader. He justified Israeli war crimes, arrested opponents of genocide, attacked pensioners, disabled people and migrants, pocketed freebies, crushed dissent and threw others under the bus to save himself. History damns him

"adults can still access social media through age checks like facial recognition, digital IDs, passports, and credit cards". And that's the real agenda. That is what this is about. Not protecting minors. The only protection minors AND adults actually need is against the Epstein class.

Burnham arriving at Euston station tomorrow.

'You're ignoring that they created a pretend energy company that doesn't save money for consumers' No, I just don't think it makes up for legislating trans people out of public life and locking up peaceful protesters for thinking genocide is bad.

Starmer had a massive majority and could have made a real difference to the lives of ordinary people, people whose lives are a daily struggle. Instead, he chose Israel, corporations and authoritarianism, the path of his own downfall. You reap what you sow

Summer as a new mum, my best friend's husband asked me why my legs were so white. Flustered I said I spend all my time in the shade with my baby & I'm allergic to fake tan. What I really should have said was mind your own fucking business, at least I'm not orange like your wife

"From the left and the right" *proceeds to make long list of right wing dangers and groups, absolutely nothing from the left*

NEW: Zack Polanski has slammed right-wing politicians' 'hatred' after five people were left injured following an 'anti-Muslim' attack in Edinburgh 🔗 www.thenational.scot/news/2...

Traditionally on Father’s Day I have posted about my own father, but today I am going to post instead about becoming one. /1

The attacks in Edinburgh, in which an armed bare-chested white man terrorised Muslims, leaving five people injured, don't feature on a single newspaper front page this morning. Two tier journalism

Happy Father's Day 🖤
