Hard to think of a more deeply damaging start to Burnham’s premiership than giving green light to new oil & gas in N. Sea, if true. It won’t lower bills or lead to greater energy security but will drive an even hotter planet. What a terrible signal to give to rest of the world #ClimateVandalism

Absolutely spot on from Zack Polanski.

This is addressed to everyone, but especially Americans under the age of 30: Read dystopian novels. Read 1984, and Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451, and White Noise, and—fuck—even Hunger Games. So many of you just aren’t getting what’s been happening just because you don’t read.

Migrants aren't the problem Billionaire greed is responsible for poverty, war, climate change Without superrich tax avoidance everyone in the UK could have decent housing & fully funded free health & social care a good job on better than living wage and excellent conditions #TaxTheRich

'Hey for the New Jerusalem! The Millenium! And peace and eternal beatitude be unto the soul of Thomas Paine.' (Thomas Holcroft, 1791.) Thanks @gclaeyshistory.bsky.social et al. for all their painstaking work, & congratulations on the timely publication of this landmark scholarly edition.

Unfortunately I can't make the debate on second jobs as I'm in America for a speaking engagement before coming back to promote gold bullion then doing my GB News show and squeezing in a few Cameo recordings before bed.

Labour ministers met #FossilFuel industry lobbyists more than 500 times during the party’s first year in power, while Labour MPs took tens of thousands of pounds in donations from oil and gas lobbyists.

Just 10 people have already poured $617 MILLION into this year’s midterm elections. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. This is not sustainable. We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.

And there it is… www.desmog.com/2026/04/30/r...

The government doesn’t want us to know it’s going to get worse. Much worse.

Private equity has devoured UK town centres. It controls airports, seaports, hospitals, care homes, football teams, housing, GP surgeries, vets, dentistry, pubs, restaurants, motorway service stations, energy, water and more. Everything financialised. What future for the UK?

Carbon emissions harm the oceans, climate, food and jobs. Since 1990, carbon emissions of the UK’s richest 0.1% increased by 53%, bottom 90% cut theirs by 26%. How will govt save us from the super-rich and make them bear the cost of their pollution? Watch the Minister's reply.

A new analysis says that heat pumps avoided a staggering €9.7 billion in import costs alone last year.

This is criminal.

The next Labour leader must commit to reversing NHS privatisation. Share if you agree 💙

The next PM could - and in my view should - properly stick it to Trump (as Meloni has just done); announce a plan to undo Brexit; put immigration to bed for at least one electoral cycle; take their government off Twitter; unequivocally condemn Netanyahu & resurrect Leveson 2… A boy can dream.

Cohen also pointed out that the list of the 27 ballroom donors so far includes Amazon, Apple, Google, Lockheed Martin, Meta, and Palantir, and that more than half of the donors have received huge government contracts since making their donations

Marvellous to see everyone at the Fate of the World launch party at the Gower Street @waterstones.bsky.social in London last night. And hugely inspiring to have so many like-minded - and right-minded - people gathered together in one place @harpernorth.bsky.social

A good use of AI would be fighting corruption. AI can monitor the finances of politicians and corporations daily. The technology exists. The will doesn't. They will prefer using it to catch poor people stealing in supermarkets.

#BREAKING Reform insiders have said Nigel Farage is unlikely to lead Reform into the general election & they're making plans for his replacement There's much more to come from his donations/house purchases & he's conceded to party insiders that he won't be able to continue
