All right, who's up for some Industriekultur? First up - here's the Industrie...

I’d say his greatest political trick was destroying most of the Gaza Strip while the world’s most stridently malicious liberals relentlessly screamed abuse at anyone who objected to it

What is the impact of the Ukraine war on US gasoline and diesel prices? None.

Shameful: Britain is no longer worthy of helping the American government commit the most serious war crimes. How can we prove to (checks notes) uh, Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth that we can be trusted to (squints at notes) assist in the commission of crimes against humanity

I just donated to @GlobalJusticeUK’s campaign against Palantir. Will you join? act.globaljustice.org.uk/node/4878

🔴 We asked Tony Blair's think tank about charging businesses £500k for political access at party conferences and why one of its sponsor's logos disappeared after our reporting last week on TBI's alleged cash for access scheme This is what they said

Long read, but worth your time.

When it’s left-wing protesters, Home Secretaries have changed the law so they are now criminals. When far-right criminals break the law, they’re asked not to break the law again 🙄

The government has three months to decide whether to cancel its £330m NHS contract. We want Palantir out, join us 👇 https://goodlaw.social/658abc

🔴 The £72million pound question - how worried are you about big money in British politics? Democracy for Sale is running a survey to find out what the public thinks about money in politics - and what we should do about it Please take it!! And share widely!! thx! 😀 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband; son of a man who had to flee the Nazis: I'm Jewish BBC News: 😠 are you, though? You're doing it wrong Fascist Daniel Thomas, in between attacking teenage cricketers and rnli volunteers: I'm Christian BBC News: 😊

Did Kent Police ignore Dover blockade 999 call? We can reveal the story that undermines the public statement of Kent Police. 🧵

The Public Order Act 1936 makes it illegal to wear political uniforms. Indeed, the legislation was designed specifically to prohibit Blackshirts. Just saying.

Two planned data centres will emit more carbon than the entire UK operations of ExxonMobil - and both plan to build their own gas power stations. Tell Andy Burnham to rule it out! www.foxglove.org.uk/campaigns/an...

Fed up with people shirking responsibility by arguing that the UK causes just 1% of emissions? Here are two fantastic analogies from a primary school teacher, Mark in Coventry, who called Sheila Fogerty on @lbc.co.uk - one involving dog poo 😆 Other arguments here: www.nebriefing.org/mp-dialogue

It’s hellish cleaning rooms in 30+ heat, I’ve had to just lie on the floor for 10 minutes at times to stop myself from passing out

The world is on fire - if only the scientists had warned us about single use barbecues while there was still time.

Yeah this Prime Minister is crap, can we try another new one? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

England's New Forest is burning But the New PM has absolutely nothing to say

Really? Is that it? If this is all that’s come from COBR, it’s pitifully inadequate. As crisis deepens, it beggars belief that there aren’t eg plans to increase resources for the fire service, support for farmers, max workplace temperature, funded community cool spaces & obvs ban on new fossil fuels

Andy Burnham says the bigger questions of oil and gas will come "at the right moment in time." On the eve of another heatwave when thousands of people have died already, when is a better time to rule out drilling for new oil and gas?

Do you want to hazard a guess at what this “jaw-dropping” list of freebies included? What luxuries asylum seekers might be being given “for free” in Thetford? Xboxes? Plasma TVs? iPhones? Ferraris? Let's take a look👀 🧵 1/22

Nigel Farage's approval ratings have now sunk even lower than Keir Starmer's before he resigned, yet we're still being encouraged to believe he has some kind of magic connection with the British public

Susanna Reid: "You've been in govt for 2yrs. Why has it taken you 2yrs to decide that you can do something for bus fares?" Heidi Alexander: "So we actually did make some changes with regards to bus fares under the previous govt" Yes, you raised the bus fare cap from £2 to £3!

James Lovelock is one of the greatest climate scientists that ever lived. We're about find out how on point his statements from over 18 years ago were.

England & Wales water firms lose 2.87bn litres a day, 20% of all water pumped through network. Hosepipe ban would save 577m(4%) litres a day. Violating hosepipe ban is a criminal offence, potential penalty of £1,000. No water execs fined or prosecuted. No new reservoirs built since privatisation

The victims minister is asked why sexual offenders aren't excluded from its early release scheme Atkinson: "I want to ensure that there are prison places available when people are sentenced to custody" Got to free the rapists to make room for people who oppose genocide, I guess

“Mass murder is the policy that has been stated for decades to make the Cuban people suffer & overthrow their government.” Abby Martin, Director of ‘Cuba After Castro’ & the first American journalist to interview Cuba’s president, discusses the dire situation in Cuba. 🔗 zeteo.com/p/death-and-...

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...

This government can fuck right off. Tax breaks for nazis but these are the "difficult decisions". www.opendemocracy.net/exclusive-ho...

Nothing says 'man of the people' quite like a politician calling a by-election at public expense on the issue of whether or not he should have the right to secretly take donations from Thai-based crypto billionaires and a convicted fraudster

Devonians were horrified to learn last week of plans for a massive AI data centre near Great Torrington, north Devon. The proposals from company XLinks Ltd would cover 850 acres of farmland. But who owns the land? I decided to investigate. 1/ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is absolutely terrifying The Nino 3.4 forecast temperature anomaly mean is now at 4C, when even the biggest historical super ninos have seen less than 3C I really have no idea what this is going to bring over the next 12 months, but it will be very, very, grim

"Patriotism is a mass psychosis meticulously engineered by the ruling class. They artificially inflate your pride for a dirt patch you do not even own, just to ensure you will gleefully murder a terrified stranger across an imaginary line the second they snap their fingers." Leo Tolstoy

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

Climate emergency cancels Reform's "cancel the climate emergency" meeting - council members were due to vote on Thurs on a Reform motion to rescind the climate emergency.

Meet James Purnell. Andy Burnham's chief of staff. In earlier incarnation, he supported the Iraq invasion; was chairman of Labour Friends of Israel; said that Winter Fuel Allowance and free bus passes should not be sacred; supported PFI, lie-detector tests for benefit claimants. What next?

Reminder: -Our farms are no longer yielding -Heatwaves -Advancement of desert is alarming -Our rivers are drying -Proliferation of pest and pathogens -Development of tropical diseases. -Our crop are dieing out. Climate change is a reality we must fight.

It's the 10th anniversary of the dumbest moment in modern British history so let's celebrate some of the idiots who made it happen. First up ... Jacob Rees-Mogg and his promise of cheap food and wine... In fact food prices have increased some 12% as a direct result of Brexit (LSE) 1/5

In the past 72 hours: 1) An Israeli government official has called for the burning of all of Lebanon including Christian communities and churches 2) An Israeli media figure has suggested that the US should receive a 9/11 terror attack Because they were told "no" once

Loving the autodubbed highlights in Spain 😂
