Please read the whole piece. It’s incredibly insightful.

Will this wobble burnham’s ‘drill baby drill’ decision on North Sea oil? Are thesvoters sufficiently joining the dots between climate breakdown (heatwaves, wildfires and flooding) and the need to lock in fossil fuels to add pressure?

In common with many I’ve felt hugely relieved that Murdoch has finally decided to expose Farage for what he is. The Times’ impressive reporting power has finally been unleashed. but as @carolecadwalla.bsky.social reminds me here before breakthrough in uk journalism comes failure. Read every word…

The UK's record heatwaves have made a chunk of voters more worried about climate change and impatient for help from the government Public First polling for Politico found - 36% now more supportive of renewables - over 40% now more concerned about climate www.politico.eu/article/heat...

Richly deserved 👍🏼

Rachel Maddow’s description of Juan Sebastian Guerrero killed by ICE in Maine is a must see. She explains what happened w/out being graphic, and somehow that makes it even more powerful. Remember Alex, Pretti, and Renée? There have been no prosecutions. Still no justice. We know how this goes.

Can 47’s niece replace - him if we’re going the family members route?

To think that Ann Widdecombe has met a violent death in her own home in haytor vale is astonishingly awful. I feel very sorry for her family and community.

What everyone needs to be aware of is that such heatwaves are now locked-in And - given we are still pumping out 41 billion tonnes of CO2 a year - they will get much worse Whatever we do, the planet's temperature will stay elevated for many thousands of years www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I don't actually know how to impress upon readers that we're the lobster being boiled alive. I'm many things, but not an organizer. Nor a leader. Nor an accomplished demagogue. Nor a partisan who believes institutions can save us. People ask me if I think democracy will win. At the moment, I do not.

News organisations who still illustrate deadly heatwaves with photos of happy crowds on beaches: #denial

👏👏👏

You will still find my account on X because it’s registered to an old work address and that institution has not allowed me access to my password to access my old Twitter account. Total shit show!

Shout out to all the legitimate journalists still using X because they can’t bear to give up a perceived advantage (ie politicians post on there). Best of luck finding your backbone.

It's really hard to ignore that America has twice shown that it prefers a rapist to a woman.

I for one am immensely reassured by this and any doubts that I may have held previously have been completely assuaged by this post.

Waiting for it to be 10pm when the temperature will drop to a refreshing 24 degrees Celsius. Yum.

Out and about today, I overheard several small kids asking their parents about the temperatures. One little guy made his mum read the temperature day and night for the next week. They were stressed & very hot. Made me remember how I hated going shopping in the heat at that age but i was….

Deliver us from evil and gross stupidity.

When he’s right, he’s right.

Now try GB News

Tice - who I understand from those in the property biz has never been considered the sharpest tool - shows his profound ignorance and fear on science, energy transition & renewable infrastructure. Btw I noticed the offspring of a few Reform councillors work in renewables in the booming industry).

The airline industry will be happy with this sentence from the minister describing need to protect ‘foundational goods in our economy such as jet fuel’. The right to air travel is protected 😳. It’s a tiny percentage of uk population that flies. (I am one of them, full disclosure).

This frightens me. I realise by sharing it I am in someways socialising my terror but I guess it’s an attempt to keep the spotlight on sewage in our waterways.

A study in Nature Sustainability shows sea-level rise is already causing population retreat in coastal Louisiana and uses geological history and demographic data to argue that early, planned relocation can guide global climate adaptation. go.nature.com/4eHOh6q 🌍🌊🧪

Beautifully delivered, sir. Brings a tear to the cheek.

Bloody hell.

Gas set Spain's electricity price 55% of the time in 2022. In Jan–Apr 2026: just 9%. Rapid renewable buildout means renewables increasingly set the marginal price instead - delivering structurally lower, more stable wholesale prices. Sign up to my new newsletter for more: janrosenow.substack.com

"‘Fish sludge’ in coastal waters now has nutrient levels equivalent to those in untreated effluent of country the size of Australia, report finds" Here in Norway we are planning for an environmentally harmful future when oil and gas demand dries up: www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

A prediction. Stand by everyone.

Carry this forward into week two please…

Wow this is some level of internalised misogyny

New study reckons fossil fuel power generation has peaked across OECD countries. There may be an energy security case for some continued fossil fuel development, but worth recognising it would be investing in an industry that's about to enter structural decline. www.businessgreen.com/news/4528872...

“Much of the ideology peddled by the far right in the 1970s – then seen as way beyond the political pale – is now seeping into the mainstream.” @kenanmalik.bsky.social on today's threat from the far-right - not the NF/BNP, but the likes of Hannan, Yusuf and Jenrick observer.co.uk/news/opinion...

😂😂😂

What does Brand mean by ‘contemporary rape gangs’? In his pitch to run for London mayor. There are few things that make me wish for climate chaos, but the idea of Russell Brand being mayor would be one.

Was he pissed when he wrote Cats?

NEW: Richard Tice failed to pay almost £100,000 in corporation tax, benefiting his investment company which made large donations to Reform UK. First time Reform's deputy leader's tax affairs can be directly linked to finances of Nigel Farage's party.

A fair summary…

Amory 💚

Nigel Farage was wrong in 2015 and he was wrong yesterday. Treatment means people living with HIV can live a healthy life and can't pass it on.  Withholding HIV treatment risks HIV transmission. Read more: https://tht.org.uk/news/chief-exec-leading-hiv-charity-calls-farage-put-down-dog-whistle

Exclusive first look at the cover of JD Vance’s forthcoming book Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith. Very vibey.

It’s way more preposterous that Trump would depict himself as a doctor than Jesus.

Fascinating piece into developing research in human ability to withstand heat. We’re closer to physiological limits than previously thought. Rising temps threaten survival in huge swathes of Earth inc ‘top end of Australia and much of the tropics, but especially in India and the Middle East’.

Is this ‘greatest stock market in history’ in the room with you now, Donald? Also notable that his pope rant majors on Covid sledging when the obvious and more readily available diss would be the church’s record on child abuse. But maybe he learned from Melania’s presser to keep away from that.

I was bored, so I made our toilet look like Nigel Farage

Did a sitting US President just share an uncensored video of a murder on his official social media page? I think the answer is yes. This reveals a lot about the inside of his sick head. Someone do something.

‘Devoid of ethical standards’ lol

I always think an impromptu presser/statement is a good way to clear the air and draw a line under things. It really helps dampen speculation.
