"I'm making billions, and, if it fails, taxpayers will bail me out"

Tobacco lobbyists are banned from WHO meetings, why not oil and gas polluters from #ClimateCOP? #COP30 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This week's column is on Billionaire Brain: the condition which seems to prevent extremely rich people from perceiving the utterly bleeding obvious. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

England facing drastic measures due to extreme drought next year. Country surrounded by water has water shortages. 2024: 1trn litre of lost to leaks. Sewage dumped in rivers for 4m hours. No new reservoirs. Investment neglected, £85bn paid in dividend. Record high water bills. People fleeced.

Here more info about that: bsky.app/profile/joew...

Keir Starmer has just told COP30 in the Amazon: "The Amazon rainforest helps to regulate the climate for every person on earth" So why has the UK Govt refused to invest in Brazil's fund to save tropical rainforests? & why no mention of Britain's temperate rainforests? www.gov.uk/government/s...

This is, by some distance, the longest and most expensive legal letter we've ever sent. It involves a team of multiple KC and junior specialist environmental barristers. It's taken us 18 months to draft and has cost us a substantial six figure sum.

Back in 2010 #Cameron&Clegg introduced #Austerity, basically a con to move wealth from the 99% to the less than 1% of #billionaires and their #MegaCorporations Which parties still support austerity and which party doesn't? #BackZack #TaxWealthNotWork #VoteGreen blogs.lse.ac.uk/inequalities...

Can see why Labour waited for Lords stages before adding THIS to the Crime and Policing Bill. Extending protest suppression to include vague ‘cumulative’ impacts (that could include OTHER protests!) will clearly be misused by police. Lords must oppose this attack on our rights.

The Joint Intelligence Committee report on climate breakdown warns of food shortages and economic collapse potentially within years Yet the government refuses to publish it If you have access, please disseminate We all have a right to know what it says www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Too hot to handle: Burning wood for heat emits more CO₂ than coal Insane that climate summit will support billions for burning wood as a climate solution when it is worse than coal www.birdlife.org/news/2025/07...

This is deeply disappointing from Starmer. The UK *helped design* this 'TFFF' fund, designed to stop deforestation, and supposedly 'continues to back the fund' (in theory). But now isn't putting any money into it 🤯 How embarrassing for the UK. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This is just mad. The planet, our only planet is burning and people are sent to prison without the opportunity to explain why they 'offended'. Today is 16 degrees in the UK. WTF??!!!

Oh how terrible, I can see why renewables are so unpopular...

"The Sanders/Mamdani style of democratic socialism is, whatever its merits, at least compatible with America’s tradition of liberal democracy. The Trump style of national socialism is not."

It’s disheartening to see Teen Vogue dissolved into Vogue and its political team let go. For years, it was one of the few mainstream spaces that made room for honest, radical commentary on justice, inequality & the world we actually live in. I’m grateful it gave me a home for so many of my op-eds

Student, "How would you, if in power, create closer relationships with Europe?" Zack Polanski, "In the long term we need to rejoin the European Union" "So people your age, and students, can have the same experiences and freedoms that I had when I was a student"

@carladenyer.bsky.social The government is propping up the declining oil and gas industry by giving oil and gas producing companies massive tax breaks – to the tune of £2.7 billion every year. These same companies have paid billions of £s to their #shareholders greenparty.org.uk/2025/11/04/g...

Under Trump’s National Security Presidential Memorandum 7, or NSPM-7, he instructed his administration to target U.S. progressive groups and their donors as well as political activists who profess undefined anti-American, anti-fascist, or anti-Christian sentiments.

Did you know? UK Government's TAX BREAKS for the Rich, over the last 50yrs has cost the UK, over 50 years (1975‑2025) might be in the ballpark of £4.5 trillion (all groups, nominal). While the UK has £2.7Trn+ in debt. Think the UK Government need done for FRAUD.

Mamdani: "Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up."

Yet Tommy Robinson is set free.

Looking forward to hearing why hard pressed working people will have to pay more tax, when the 50 UK families who collectively own £2/3 TRILLION - equal to half the population - remained untouched Dead chancellor walking - dead government walking www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

Fingers crossed that today we’ll see a socialist elected as Mayor of New York City. Zohran Mamdani’s campaign shows there’s a huge appetite for practical socialist policies, building public infrastructure and addressing the cost of living. There’s political hope for the future! #VoteZohran #Mamdani

Yes folks that is the United States Secretary of the Treasury, stating unequivocally that ALL climate change is fake news. The genius of those evil wokists, going back to 1989 and replacing Margaret Thatcher with a leftwing robot. www.margaretthatcher.org/document%2F1...

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future. Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

"14.5 million people..... live in poverty and just under 3 million.... can’t afford to heat their homes Billionaire wealth grew by £35m each day in 2024 and Britain’s 50 richest families now hold more wealth than half the population" Guess who will bear the brunt of tax rises

UK Energy profits, 2025 - £130bn a year, 1979 - £0 Water profits, 2025 - £6bn, 1979 - £0bn NHS profits, 2025 - £14bn, 1979 - £0bn Landlord profits, 2025 - £80bn, 1979 - £15bn All this money is stolen from you and from Public Services, this is why there is 'no money'.

Calling for a better society, Starmer not doing that

Great investigation of the Nazis, racists and criminals mobilising the flag-on-lamp-posts movement. This is the kind of journalism that the national media could and should have conducted: manchestermill.co.uk/the-men-who-...

Let's be clear: The flood of hatred sloshing across Britain right now is 100% a product of the political and media elite scapegoating minorities for the harms that those elites have visited upon the country.

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”

England's highly deprived areas are concentrated in the North and West Midlands. Borne the brunt of state led deindustrialization to appease the City of London. Govts focused on London & South East done little to repair damage done by austerity, poverty.

"Here's the thing, Bill Gates: There is no 'patch' for the climate crisis. And there is no way to reboot the planet if you crash it. The only safe and reliable way out when you find yourself in a climate hole is to stop digging—and burning—fossil fuels." — @michaelemann.bsky.social

The people of Bradford seemed genuinely angry with Matt Goodwin over his incessant attempts to promote a divisive, anti-immigration agenda on #bbcqt Goodwin, who's no longer an academic, should definitely have been described as an "anti-immigration activist" on the pre-publicity material.

🚨Two years+ after @GoodLawProject revealed Luxe Lifestyle were on PPE Vip Lane thanks to the help of a former minister, the government finally corrects the record. But, as I detail in my book Viplanebook.com this is still the tip of the iceberg. It’s likely that 70 firms were on VIP Lane not 52 🧵

UK Govt to capitulate to Big Pharma Ministers have drawn up proposals to pay companies 25% more for NHS medicines. Too many corporations holding govts/peopie to ransom - give us what we want or else Energy Water Banks Internet Tax abuses Who governs - Corporations or elected govts?
