Count Binface sells merch from his website and donates 50% of the proceeds to Shelter. (How much does Farage donate to charity, again?)

"Drax power station produced more carbon emissions than any other UK site in 2025 while receiving a record £999 million in public subsidies, according to new analysis from Ember."

Revealed: landmark Scottish AI project has no prospect of meeting renewables promise

Hahaha! “Drop everything in a genuine, competitive and important mayoral election in Manchester and come and help me argue with a bin in Clacton!” screams Farage as he once again prioritises his own monstrous ego over being a serious party that can cope under pressure. Nasty clowncar falls apart.

You know what to do. Let's make it happen. Join.greenparty.org.uk

🚨 BREAKING: The EU's Electrification Action Plan has leaked. Having read the full draft, my verdict: the diagnosis is right and there are lots of nuggets of gold in the Plans. The question now is whether the ambition survives into law. My analysis: janrosenow.substack.com/p/europes-el...

This point needs to be made over and again: The main purpose of wealth taxes should not be to raise revenue. That's a small and secondary benefit. The main purpose should be to *reduce the fortunes of the ultrarich*. Why? Because those fortunes present a massive threat to democracy and public life.

I'm not sure "he's not even a real bin" is the winning electoral argument some of Count Binface's opponents imagine. I think the voters of Clacton had pretty much already realised that on their own.

The Met Police is investigating another Reform politician, Robert Jenrick, over donations made to his campaign when he was running to be Conservative leader.

Why has the government has refused to publish the full report from the joint National security chiefs - not some flaky group- , which has circulated among defence officials for more than a year?

The extra fuel costs associated with the Iran war has cost more than $500 per U.S. household. Check out the Iran War Energy Cost Tracker: iranwarcost.watson.brown.edu

in the 2024 election, Nigel Farage was elected by Clacton with 46.2% of the vote. that means that 53.8% of Clactonians votes against him if everyone who voted against Nigel Farage - Labour voters, Lib Dem voters, Tory voters, everyone - screws up their courage and does it again, Count Binface wins

Do all the Tough Guys feel safer now that this father of three is dead?

For decades, coastal mangrove forests have been decimated by development. But just this past week, forty years of satellite data confirmed something remarkable... Read more in this week's edition of Talking Climate.

When did Labour become the party who wants to tax those who clean buildings more than those who own them? This can’t be right. The Green Party would equalise Capital Gains Tax and Income Tax.

Despite all the noise today I'd really like you to read this, as I think it's crucial. The government's in the process of p*ssing up to £264 billion into the ground, at the behest of the fossil fuel industry. Yes, £264 *billion*. It's utterly mad, and has to stop. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trump’s been having a very confused time of it in Ankara. Among many failures of mind, the US has been attacked by the Islamic Republic of Japan, apparently.

If I lived in Clacton, I would crawl over broken glass to vote for Count Binface. I’m sure all the major parties will be rooting for Binface although they can’t admit it. Even if Farage wins, there’s nothing in it for him except humiliation.

Farage and Le Pen are using the same fascist framing: The leader alone can interpret the will of the people There is no need for rules or laws Ideal for grift and crookery

Why are we doing this to ourselves & our planet? 😕

Calling a by-election over the sovereign right of every MP to take secret gifts from a convicted criminal. What a time to be alive.

There's plenty of large-flowered butterwort in my place, but I've only ever seen this one, pale butterwort, a few times. It too catches and digests insects. Its natural range extends down the Atlantic along the western coasts of Scotland, Ireland, France, Spain, and Portugal to Morocco in Africa.

“But this is only the UK.” Here are global figures.

Nobody wants EVs” is now a decade-old genre of journalism. Over that decade, EV share of new UK car sales went from 0.3% to 25%. The genre hasn’t aged well.

Things are starting to look very dark for Farage. He's stuck in a ferocious scandal where he cannot get his story straight and his excuses raise more questions than they answer inews.co.uk/opinion/nige...

Everybody in the "climate space" (which means everyone on earth...) needs to understand these mind-blowing figures. Google's "total electricity consumption jumped from 31 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 to 43 TWh in 2025." In ONE year. The AI corporate arms race is eating the world.

Hotter than Hell is the new normal in Europe.

"it has cost £75,000 to put these up all throughout Nottinghamshire, but the good news is, it will not cost the taxpayer a single penny because we want to get these sponsored by local businesses." And not a single sponsor has come forward. Utter clowns 😂😂 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Brilliant to see Geraldine - our Green candidate for Mayor - putting housing right at the centre of her campaign. We need both affordable housing and council housing with an end to right to buy putting money in the pockets of private landlords. www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater...

Three things are true: 1️⃣ The Trump administration is bribing companies to abandon huge clean energy projects; 2️⃣ These projects are massive job creators; 3️⃣ They’re using your hard-earned tax dollars to do it. Unbelievable. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/29/c...

The BBC is axing Winterwatch, in line with its strategy of continuous dumbing down. There are rumours of a new series to replace it. “Wokewatch” will whip up outrage against people, organisations and activities deemed too left-wing and diverse. The host will apparently be a white man in his sixties.

Shame on #BBC axing #ChrisPackham #AutumnWatch #WinterWatch alienating MAJORITY UK viewers! What next? #BBCSpringwatch! We don't want same old boring cooking, tacky game shows, back to back endless sports, separate Sports Channels FAKE farming hiding cruelty, hunt thugs, etc #BringBackChrisPackham

Coventry Council votes to end Palantir contract over sensitive data access A motion proposed by the Green Party has been passed, asking the local authority to reconsider its contract with the US tech giant Palantir

Andy Burnham looks like he might cancel the NHS England contract with Palantir, they also have one worth 2.5x as much with the MoD. RT if you want them both out of the UK.

Reposting this image from a heatwave in 2022, showing the boundary between one of our small rewilding sites - green - and a neighbouring field. It's like a rather brutal flag for the anthropocene, but it does illustrate how creating space for nature can make the land more resilient.

Athelney looking magical at the moment. This is its fourth summer of rewilding and the flowers, inverts and birds are bursting out. From standard sheep pasture to this in just a few years.

Looks as if Farage is ready to deploy political thought police in schools to ensure compliance with Reform ideology. Big Brother is coming to a classroom near you. Is this the future you want for your children? schoolsweek.co.uk/reform-farag...

At last Let's hope the rest of government will follow And that the new Burnham government will have the courage to #BanX altogether

Just another of many reasons why Burnham should not call an early election without a very stable poll lead - three more years of climate action while all the time case becomes more unanswerable and business case improves (others include waiting out Trump, Ukraine war, chance of democratic reform)

This keeps happening: the government announces pay rises for teachers but doesn’t actually pay for them. Where is the money supposed to come from? Schools have no other income. Farcical

I want to live in a proper, functioning democracy. A place where anyone can rise to the top. Ultimately monarchy tells us that hereditary elites are the only people who can rule this country and that by dint of their birth and divine right they are better than the rest of us. It's 2026 not 1326!

#r4today reporting BBC’s investigation into people smuggler ‘King’. Justin Webb totally crestfallen when told by immigration specialist that Brexit binned the data sharing agreement we had with the EU. So, we can’t now properly check. We don’t have access to Eurodac - the fingerprint database. Ffs.

"UK newspapers have already published 63 editorials this year calling for more oil and gas extraction in the North Sea... "Experts say trying to extract the last barrels of domestic oil and gas would have no impact on people’s energy bills and very little effect on energy security"

Scotland has generated a record amount of renewable electricity for the first quarter of this year, as the country continues to produce more energy than it consumes, according to new figures

Every day I'm more ashamed to live in this country "Generosity": not the word I'd use for a levying a retroactive tax on people fleeing war and persecution, for the privilege of living in substandard conditions while politicians abuse them and strangers threaten to burn them out of their bedrooms
