Matt Goodwin isn’t very British 🇬🇧

Conditions are becoming extreme. Places are becoming increasingly unliveable. People will have to move #NomadCentury

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

NEW: Expensive gas still biggest driver of high UK electricity bills, says UKERC "Volatile, gas-linked market prices – not green policies, as some misleading claims have suggested – dominate the real-terms increase in bills since 2021." www.carbonbrief.org/expensive-ga...

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

You can’t deny it Nigel Farage.

Quick thread on how it is shocking the government has supressed this report, but it is equally shocking that anyone should be surprised by its contents. www.businessgreen.com/news/4524657...

As ever, Private Eye sees through the way the usual-suspect media are happy to swallow wholesale and then amplify the BS from Tufton St lobbyists when it comes to net-zero And, as ever, @drsimevans.carbonbrief.org made all these points the moment the coverage landed

This will get massively overshadowed today and as ever the devil is in the detail, but is should be one of the best things Labour has done. It has the potential to improve the lives and finances of millions of people. www.businessgreen.com/news/4524489...

More good news today, if you can believe it! The picture in the thumbnail below is one of the multi-million £ public realm improvements which Lutfur Rahman wanted to rip out to turn this street back into a traffic sewer. Utterly unhinged stuff, much schadenfraude at his ignominious defeat today 🥳

NEW | Wind and solar generated more power than fossil fuels in the EU for the FIRST time ever. 🌪️ and ☀️ made up a RECORD 30% of 🇪🇺 electricity, up from 20% just five years ago. https://ember-energy.org/latest-insights/european-electricity-review-2026/

Never forget: never let anyone else forget either.

Whatever’s in these Epstein Files (and we have some idea) must be really bad.

Gammon Box News praising Trump for imposing tariffs on British exports

About this: This practice of churches providing groceries/supplies to immigrant families who are afraid to leave their homes out of fear of ICE is widespread, and widely reported. What's different here is the *scale* of operations this one church is overseeing, and how public they are about it.

This dude is intense and correct

NEW: Coal-fired power generation fell in both China and India in 2025, for the first time since 1973. The drop came after record clean energy additions in both countries, and was the first time that clean energy was a major driver of falling coal power use.

Never forget: the people who hate their country most are those who style themselves "patriots".

Trump has just declared himself the "acting president of Venezuela" over on Truth Social in case you're wondering about his mental health.

Sorry, Trump and Farage – London is no lawless ‘warzone’. Violent crime is lower than ever

Bluesky community! This is my official NYC mayor account. I’ll be posting updates on what’s happening at City Hall and how we’re delivering for New Yorkers. It’s great to be here.

The US stands alone in dismissing the problem of climate change.

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Telling isn't it that all the "protect our girls" people are still on X despite what Grok is doing.

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize. “If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

It's a good day to say that embracing renewable energy can provide countries with energy independence 👍

Jan 1. Jan 3.

Getting to Net Zero is cheaper than letting the planet burn. Twice as cheap in fact. If we do nothing, climate change will cost us 15% of global GDP. Getting to Net Zero limits those costs to 7%.

In case I forget (I won't forget) This is the year that my old pal Jonathan Main from Bookseller Crow, died after an abrupt illness A true instinctive bookseller who regularly said to me "Read this" and handed me a banger A very dedicated worker and clearly a very proud family man There's more:

can't they even give this woke nonsense a rest at Christmas? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

Current temperatures around the North Pole are over 15°C above the already warmed 1958-2002 average.

Reform UK Council Tax hikes Durham: 4.9% Worcestershire: 5-10% Warwickshire: ~5% Leicestershire: 2.99%* Kent: 5% Lincolnshire: 2.9-4.9% Staffordshire: ~5% West Northamptonshire: 5% Derbyshire: 4.99% North Northamptonshire: 4.99% Nottinghamshire: 4.84% Lancashire: assumed 5% *subject to change.

This is a litmus test of British people's patriotism. Do you back your national broadcaster? Or do you back this guy?

I’m not often lost for words but…

Is there anything more annoying to racists than the reality that London is probably the greatest city on earth?

Second hottest year on record. Average temperature for the past 3 years more than 1.5C above pre-industrial levels. 10 hottest years on record the last 10 years. It remains truly mind-blowing this is not the biggest story in the world every day. www.businessgreen.com/news/4522952...

As we heat the planet, we push creatures out of their climate niches with devastating consequences #NomadCentury

A prime example of how the far right can never be appeased. Give them whatever they demand and they’ll bank it, then use it as a new base camp to strike out for more and worse.

I swear maybe once a decade in public, and this is the moment. This fucking racist and all the gibbering racists nodding along behind him are the ruination of our country. Our fucking job for the next fucking year is to fucking destroy them in the next election. Fuck them.

Which one?

Europe’s water reserves are drying up because of climate change www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Absolutely wild to see hosts on Talk TV brazenly wave off the scientific consensus on climate change as 'just not true…a made-up stat' 🤦‍♂️😖 Companies who pay to advertise on Talk TV are enabling this kind of dangerous disinformation. Tell them to do better!

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

beginning to believe I would actually vote for a dead pigeon on a stick if it just promised to restore the fuel duty escalator

It's always the ones you most expect... www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage. www.thetimes.com/article/1b15...

The Trump administration wants you to stop watching the BBC and watch GB News instead. Meanwhile this is what passes for “journalism” on GB News…
