Just think of how Trump reacted when some people were critical of Charlie Kirk after his death.

one of the most unpleasant people in human history

The Conservatives are threatening to abandon the phaseout date for petrol and diesel cars should they win the next election There are so many reasons this is an awful idea you wonder whether any thought has been involved Let me run through them 🧵🧵 1/7 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

2 in 3 of Nigel Farage’s current and former partners do not speak English as their first language.

BBC News - Energy grid investment of £28bn to push up household bills www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... If the majority of the investment is going into the gas network, why is most of the cost going onto the electricity bill? Especially as everyone has electricity (cost shared by more people).

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement. Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph Because this does NOT add up! No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies… 🧵1/9

Fixed it for you. Idiots! If the exclusion is based on appearance then it will certainly impact cis folks as well as trans folks.

BBC News - Trans people could be barred from services based on appearance www.bbc.com/news/article... And, of course, if it's just based on appearance, so could cis people.

Wonder why this scene looks so familiar... #WildlifeWednesday 🐦🐕

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday. I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric. Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

Führage, Clacton, and his girlfriend: https://s.42l.fr/fartage (!)

“Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home – given he already owns other properties” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

On the same day in the Telegraph:

This is vile. Local guy speaks to Sky News about the impact of asylum seekers protests. Watch what happens and share widely

The failure of the government to denounce these thugs is completely fucking sickening.

You wouldn’t think so from many news outlets but a recent study of 3k householders with heat pumps indicate they are more satisfied than those with gas boilers 94% satisfied or extremely satisfied v 85% for gas. apple.news/A6NpS4w8YSCS...

Photo of the Day Widely shared but rarely credited to the photographer, Ahmed Jihad Ibrahim Al-arini. Gaza is the most dangerous place that has ever existed for journalists. But they work on, documenting a genocide for a world desperately trying to look away. May their images haunt us forever.

What is this? It’s a political stunt from a fossil-fuel funded party, which will increase costs to British people, & through seeking to stop new renewable investment, lower energy security In practical terms it is like behaviour of anti-British foreign agents www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

The NATO spending goal is a huge threat for the climate. NATO military expenditure has surged by 25%in 2024 while the corresponding estimated military carbon footprint has increased nearly 40%. www.tni.org/en/publicati...

Is this a record? 90% zero carbon in the GB generation matrix

It is truly stomach-churning that America is taking in white South Africans as refugees, with Trump saying they're facing a racist genocide. Meanwhile they deport non-white refugees and greenlight Israel's actions in Gaza. Each day the mask slips more.

What’s left of Gaza?

Very moving. In the past I have cycled through the areas worst affected, it's seemed like such a beautiful place to live. I still have friends who live in the area. There is a gift link which allows you to read the story in the comments below. Please share.

Opportunistic spin from the Lib Dems. The IHT change is not a 'family farm tax'. It's an inherited wealth tax, on assets over £1.3m (x2 for a married couple). It's closing a loophole. Actually, it's *still* a subsidy: the rate farmers pay is 1/2 that of non-farmers. And they get 10 years to pay it

The US election result in a nutshell.

I worry that climate is the issue which will be most impacted by Trump's victory. It's essential for our children's future that in the UK we hang on to the consensus on the need for action, and learn what messages work with people outside the activist bubble.

British people have a massive WW2 fetish that just looks weird from outside. You don't realise it until you step outside and look back in.

The Frasier Crane one here is people getting mixed up with Kelsey Grammar’s actual politics isn’t it. The show is very clear. There’s even an episode where Frasier and Niles rile up Martin by fundraising for a liberal candidate (who turns out to believe he’s been abducted by aliens)!

My goodness, he's really overdone the orange, hasn't he? Image from BBC News

60 scientists have banded together to call out offsetting as a barrier to climate action They make a call for “real zero” not “net zero” “We should be focused on real reductions in emissions, rather than engaging in a counting game” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Dale Vince is totally wrong on this. His plan to use bio methane produced from energy crops and grasses instead of heat pumps is just terrible - one of the most destructive environmental ideas I can think of. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Amusing to watch the UK Conservative Party conference which was designed with one aim this year - to launch the four leadership candidates into the warm approval of the public. What’s actually happened is they’ve all been exposed as idiots on the big stage.
