Cutting #heatpump support would be a false economy. Yes it’s taken up by middle and higher income households but these early adopters are helping companies build out their customer journeys, deal with teething problems, support #greenjobs and normalise a new technology. It’s not a handout.

Clearly the aim here is political rather than economic: it’s about building credibility with markets ahead of a push for independence That’s fine - as long as politicians are clear that’s the aim, and don’t mislead the public by acting like this will result in more investment

The cost of living crisis was caused in large part by gas prices. Heat pump policy supports a solution which which gets the country off gas AND reduces emissions. I seriously hope this is some crossed wires, if not we really are in trouble. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

One of the most precious things about Remembrance is that it sets no political tests. It asks only that we "remember", and that we do so in the silence of our own thoughts. It doesn't dictate what we remember, how we remember or what lessons we draw. That's between ourselves and our conscience.🧵

Unless there's an unbreakably valid safety reason why not, all button-operated pedestrian crossings should activate the lights in pedestrians' favour instantly when pressed.

"House is so much warmer and condensation problem seems resolved. Very happy with outcome as have spent several years doing things which didn't resolve issues. Recommended contractors did an excellent job. Wish I had contacted Loco Home ages ago." #retrofit #heatpump #glasgowsustainability #friday

Tessa Khan of Uplift doing a great job of grounding discussion at the Just Transition Commission Summit in the ecological and economic reality of the climate crisis. Discussion is otherwise dancing a little too politely around the feelings of the oil and gas industry IMO.

I'm very pleased to see that my work on the ScotWind scandal has been getting some traction again after being quoted recently by Future Economy Scotland. I do encourage folk to read their report as it ties my work in with the work of others like the STUC.

I’m not sorry for saying this what they did to our captured relatives was beyond cruelty. They were stripped of their dignity, tortured with electricity, and treated like less than human. It was horror designed to erase their humanity.

my takeaway from climate week nyc is that "climate storytelling" is a little too much "we must reimagine our deepest souls in relationship to mother nature and the moral abyss of the polycrisis into which we must now stare" and not enough "ok but get a heat pump"

Out in Dennistoun today

This deserves *way* more attention than it’s getting Reform’s former Wales leader admits he received corrupt payments in exchange for making statements in the European Parliament to promote Russia’s interests in #Ukraine.

I spent the afternoon in the woods, in a haze of peace and loveliness. Then came home and heard on the news an Irish doctor working in Gaza describe the clearly systematic, mass targeting of Palestinian children by Israeli snipers. It's just crazy making. How can such pure evil exist in the world?

The truth: we need migration. The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it. Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality. Reject it. Draw the line.

This is great and I would further submit that a further destabilising force is huge numbers of people are losing any faith in the ‘rule of law’ because people are being arrested for their support for a spray painting gang that opposes genocide.

A shorter way to say targeted attack that kills is ‘murder’. You’re welcome.

Think of all those pro-Israel pundits you saw on your television screens this past year trying to sociopathically justify the mass starvation of Gaza by robotically claiming Hamas steals the aid. They were all lying. Shamelessly. Even the Israeli military confirms it now.

UK opinion on Gaza war (YouGov, July 2025) 18% support Israel’s actions in Gaza, 55% oppose 81% of those who oppose say it’s a genocide Large margins in favour of: - trade embargoes (48% to 20%) - financial sanctions on individuals (52% to 19%) - suspending arms exports to Israel (57% to 18%)

I've wanted to say something on Gaza for days, but nothing seems adequate. Still, I must. I cannot fathom a more perverse or wicked policy - and it's happened too many times not be policy - of starving people, then shooting them as they try to get food from an "aid" location, set up as a trap. 1/2

🚨 RIGHT NOW opposite Labour Party HQ in London. We’ve turned their street into Jabaliya camp in Gaza. A genocide is happening, but the Labour government is supplying weapons, intelligence and diplomatic cover to the perpetrator. Protesting this is not terrorism.

Among yesterday's arrestees is Deborah Hinton, an 81-year old retired magistrate with an OBE. That's Yvette Cooper's idea of a terrorist. Language has been turned on its head. The law has been turned on its head. Murdering children is righteous. Trying to stop it is terrorism.

"Yes, but planting trees engages people into a fuller relationship with nature." This isn't untrue, but the flip side is that it subconsciously reinforces the notion that we are central to everything, that it's all about us. That is, the very mindset that's killing life on Earth.

@mommunism.bsky.social 🚨 Breaking: The Israeli army buried 15 tents full of displaced people after intense shelling west of Gaza.🥹 Entire families have just been buried alive!!! Please, donate to save my family or share🙏 What’s happening here is beyond human comprehension!😥 gofund.me/e6740048

Jaw-dropping reporting by Haaretz www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

While cleaning up the grid mostly involves a relatively small number of big power plants, electrification in the US involves replacing ~a billion devices across ~a hundred million locations and decision-makers. Hugely heavy lift. We need so many people working on electrification from so many angles.
