Never underestimate how many deeply fucking stupid people are able to get rich and influential and never, ever underestimate how many really fucking stupid people are willing to vote them into power.

Despite the appallingly biased refereeing, despite having players kicked in the head 4 times with no foul or card given, despite not being awarded a first half penalty, despite losing 2 key players injured, despite it being in London, we still found a way! Love the mentality of this group! #lufc

Wemberleeee Wemberleee! We’re the famous Leeds United and we’re off the Wemberleee!! 🤍💛💙#lufc

Pawson needs jailing. An abomination of refereeing performance. #lufc

How is that not a foul?? 4 times we’ve had a player kicked on head and nothin given! #lufc Corrupt!

Barn Owl - what a strike! #lufc

Really need Brenda 2.0 to turn up in second half! #lufc

Dives over Nmecha’s leg and Lucas gets booked?? 🤷🤦‍♂️#lufc

92% of seagrass meadows have been lost They store carbon, shelter wildlife, protect our coastline from storms, & provide vital nurseries for young fish including cod, whose numbers are critically low Around the UK, people are working to restore them: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

A cliff fall at Burniston Rocks, Yorkshire last month was 700 metres from the well pad site proposed by Europa Oil & Gas. Fracking in Lancashire in 2019, using lower volumes of fluid than planned at Burniston, caused multiple earth tremors. What could go wrong? drillordrop.com/2026/04/03/c...

This is a reminder of what a great paper The Daily Mirror once was. Very similar to the special issues it used to publish. Need more of these.

East Yorkshire this afternoon unanimously opposed fracking in the county. In a recorded vote of the full council, all 58 members present supported a motion against fracturing plans at one of the West Newton oil and gas sites. drillordrop.com/2026/04/01/c...

Who is protecting England’s drinking water? A plan to drill through a key Yorkshire aquifer exposes gaps in regulation and raises risks to drinking water and long term water security By David Eddy

82% of Britain’s electricity is currently zero carbon. This is an incredible achievement of which we should be rightly proud and motivated to go further, faster. Instead, we’ve got fossil fuelled politicians telling us we should be focusing on 93% depleted North Sea oil & gas.

Here’s the Gypsey Race, a rare chalk stream in the Yorkshire Wolds, fed directly by a chalk aquifer beneath. The same aquifer Egdon plan to drill through for gas. Pollution & contamination risk is massive. Some places are simply too special to risk! #drawingalineinthechalk

Bad losers at Reform just cost the taxpayer ££££ on an investigation carried out on the basis of hearsay and promoted by right wing news channels. www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater...

- UK energy prices are set by international markets - Bringing in new production takes years, which means any new oil + gas would arrive long after the energy crisis has passed Issuing more North Sea drilling licenses is not going to bring our electric bills down: share.google/55qPWtIMsPXQ...

🔴 Stella Creasy nails it 👏 You can’t say our energy system has left us vulnerable… and then oppose the only things that actually make us independent. Oil and gas tie us to global markets. Renewables break that link. It really is that simple.

“That’s why Reform’s fossil-fuel funded politicians are so opposed to climate science and… Net Zero… Not because Net Zero is an economic failure but because its success will hit their donors’ profits” Farage: Never acts in the national interest. Only ever his own. open.substack.com/pub/democrac...

Everything we need to do to stop climate breakdown, we also need to do for national security. Energy saving, more renewables, more electricity storage and interconnectors, electrification of transport, heating, cooking and industrial processes, plant-based diets. We win on all fronts.

The message from Farage is clear. If you're a British Muslim wanting to peacefully exercise your right to pray in public then you're a threat to the nation. If you're a convicted far-right rioter who was part of a violent street mob then you'll get a personal message of endorsement
