A single 140 ton Wind Turbine produces as much energy as burning 375,000 tons of coal in its lifetime, but the Right wing are so brainwashed by their fossil fuel propaganda that they refuse to use it.

'industrial lands preserve industrial jobs' uh huh

✅ Tactical voting organisations ✅ Doorstep data ✅ Constituency polling It's clearer than ever that it's Green vs Reform in Gorton and Denton. A vote for Hannah Spencer is the only way to stop Reform's hate and make hope normal again.

Moved house eight years ago. My parents met the movers with the first load of stuff at the new place. They helpfully put all of the kitchen stuff in cupboards of their choosing. Did we ever rearrange those cupboards? Did we fuck.

I’ve posted some of these before, but the collection grows incrementally every now & then, so here they all are: 1980s badges protesting against the Thatcher government’s rate capping policies and the consequent threat to local services. Examples from Haringey, Lambeth, Hackney, Camden and Lewisham.

Closer examination of the Epstein files provokes fresh questions about Reform UK treasurer Nick Candy and his brother Christian’s development of the One Hyde Park super-prime apartment block: messages within the latest release appear to contradict their tax-avoiding account of the project.

This tariff ruling is causing considerable confusion. But one thing is clear. 100% of any tariff refunds will be paid to corporations that passed on increased costs to consumers. We paid the tariffs. They will get the refund. Prices won't come back down. The people will get screwed yet again.

Two things are simultaneously true: 1. The Iranian regime treats its people with extreme brutality and cruelty, and we should honour the citizens seeking to overthrow it. 2. A US attack on Iran would turn a crisis into a catastrophe.

🚨 NEW - eighteen defendants from Palestine Action have now been acquitted of aggravated burglary charges in huge victory

The last time council housing was built at mass scale, we didn’t rely on private developers to deliver them. It is time to allow councils to borrow to build a new generation of social homes. They pay for themselves over the long run.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

All Filton 24 activists have now been acquitted of aggravated burglary. This government has done everything it can to demonise the Palestine movement. It has failed. History will be kind to those who tried to stop the genocide. It will condemn those who aided and abetted it.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Such an important episode! So many people have asked how the Swiss achieve their extraordinary transport integration. Helmut Eichhorn runs the SwissPass Alliance, the body that makes public transport effortless. He tells me that the secret is a population and politicians who actually want it.

BREAKING: Millions of files related to Jeffrey Epstein suggest the existence of a 'global criminal enterprise' that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity, a panel of independent experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council says

So sick of stupid f*cking people who refuse to grasp the fact that the Constitution doesn't apply exclusively to American citizens, but to every person within the U.S. And they bask in the arrogance of ignorance. Is it any wonder that it's hard not to hate them.

Why are the seats in @firstGreatWestern trains almost completely without upholstery?

Originally, yes. But then central government made a deal with councils that the councils got to keep the rental income in return for taking on their share of the 'historic housing debt' (ie what government would theoretically have borrowed to build it). All got pretty complex.

Is it time for a tourism tax if even our biggest arts institutions are struggling this much? And this is after blockbuster exhibitions (Van Gogh) & successful philanthropy, so think how much tougher it must be for more local-regional galleries and museums www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

At our Unsung Britain Conference last week, Professor Athina Vlachantoni discussed three interesting trends demographers have observed in the UK since the 1990s ⤵️
