Marco Rubio in 2023

Good, don't let the door hit om your arse.

No one needs April Fool’s Day in a world of fake news.

No one listened. Westminster didn't care. All they wanted was as oor renewable energy & Scotland got feck all in return & job losses. We warned. Until we don't need oil at all we needed to maintain Grangemouth. It suplied 97% of Scotlands airplane fuel from the Forties Pipeline

It’s insane watching the bulletins and headlines rolling in about a global energy crisis worse than the 1970s and not a single one mentions it’s all been caused by one crazy man for no reason. When Trump finally goes reputations will have been trashed and they’re irrecoverable.

I have to post thus! Israel is the first state in history to legislate a death sentence that applies only to one ethnic group. There's a reason nobody has ever done this. It's a depth of evil beyond humanity itself.

An SNP majority is the way to put this madness to en end.

Don't ever say that Starmer is a "decent man" or that he is better than Tory leaders.

Strongest El Niño Ever Is Predicted To Happen In 2026 Scientists warn a possible “super El Niño” could form this year, potentially bringing hotter temperatures and extreme weather worldwide Could make wildfire seasons worse in places like California and Oregon. www.greenmatters.com/pn/the-stron...

if you want to push SNP-ambivalent but anti-Labour voters (esp if they’re not committed unionists) into voting SNP (at least for the constituency vote), you might do it a lot like this

I'm f*cking angry today! This map's the reason! Scotland, a country rich in renewable energy has 36% of households unable to adequately heat their homes yet England siphons off ~5GW of our wind power and increases our electricity prices as a result to reduce their own fuel poverty. #YouYesYet

This seems highly illegal. And if it somehow is allowed to continue, why would anyone else enter into any sort agreement with this administration?

The UK Government is 'not acting in good faith' and deliberately waited for the start of the Scottish elections before blocking a £1.5bn investment in Scotland, John Swinney has said ⬇️ www.thenational.scot/news/2...

Insane stuff

NATO needs to kick out the USA.

Keir Starmer confirms suspension of crypto-donations to political parties. “I can tell the house, we will act decisively to protect our democracy – that will include a moratorium on all political donations made through cryptocurrencies.”

❗️An Irish refinery of alumina (used to make aluminum) has been sending most of its exports to Russia,then they were used to make weapons to kill Ukrainians This was reported in an investigation by OCCRP I hope this case gets the attention&follow-up from the authorities.

Hate to say this, but UK gilts look grisly. Trump just cancelled most of what you want, sorry.

Thinking about this again, how the wise, sage, cold eyed analysts at Goldman determined we should be back to about 50% of normal oil exports by now

Once again I come back to the complete shock and panic we're going to get next week if this carries on and the consequences sink in. The British public is nowhere near prepped or aware. This is still 'stupid conflict a long way away'

🇺🇸❗️Moscow proposed a deal to Washington that would halt the transfer of intelligence to Iran, including the coordinates of American military installations in the Middle East, in exchange for the US refusing to provide Ukraine with intelligence on Russia, - Politico

genuinely starting to think this should be in the school curriculum as.ft.com/r/b006ca08-9...

Since graduating: 1. GFC 2. Austerity 3. Brexit 4. Covid-19 5. War in Europe 6. Oil/gas crisis 7. Global trade war 8. War in the Middle East 9. Another oil/gas crisis

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.

WTF

im way less joking than yall would like to think

obviously macron is a clown and whatnot but him and the french general staff all assembling in a hangar to sing a grim and haunting rendition of La Marseillaise at a nuclear submarine is quite possibly the most warhammer 40k thing to have happened in any of our lifetimes

What we see here is something very common: that people treated by the media - inc the BBC - as neutral, dispassionate and reliable are actually deeply embedded in capitalism and all its myths. They are as partisan as anyone else. They sound neutral because what they say aligns with "common sense".

🇪🇺 European natural gas prices surged after Iranian missile strikes caused damage to the world’s largest liquefied natural gas export plant, - Bloomberg ❗️Benchmark futures jumped as much as 35%, pushing prices to more than double their pre-war levels.

What an uncaring, disgusting and disgraceful remark from Anas Sarwar.

TRUMP: We had one who was very ill. Looked like he wasn't going to make it. You want to mention his name? MIKE JOHNSON: Neal Dunn of Florida had real health challenges T: His diagnosis was he'd be dead by June J: Ok, that wasn't public. *audience groans* It was grim is what I was going to say

One of the fascinating things about Starmer's Labour is that loads of governments say things that are untrue. They've pioneered the new thing of saying things that are untrue, but are also unhelpful to them personally.

Trump to the UK, 6 March: "We don't need them any longer... We don't need people to join wars after we've already won!" Trump six days later: Publicly begs for the UK to send warships.

"Blueskee"

Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"

"Dear devolved governments: Fuck you in the face!" "Love Keir"

He then adds: “We should be confident in our ability to deliver directly in those nations, including through direct spending, even when devolved governments may oppose this.” 3/5

He said “each of us will maintain a professional and respectful working relationship with our counterparts in devolved governments” but “an overly deferential or laissezfaire approach to devolved government engagement almost inevitably creates political challenges or misses positive opportunities”
