By all accounts this is what most of the recent Reform media events have looked like. Bubble well and truly burst

Monstrous beyond all reckoning. The US is using remote sensing *designed for humanitarian purposes* for the opposite purpose, potentially drowning civilians en masse. Trump hates Somalis. His troops appear to be exploiting the weather to help slaughter them. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Planting a tree means nothing if it dies a week later. Local authority tree planting is down 45%, and the trees we do plant are heavily imported, bringing biosecurity risks with them. @nationaltrust.org.uk #EcoSky #TreePlanting #GrownInBritain

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

Among many other issues, Miatta Fahnbulleh's constituency, Peckham, is home to thousands and thousands of people of Nigerian origin. Shell is synonymous with human rights abuses and environmental devastation in Nigeria. This is an insult.

This is horrific. And unsurprisingly the work of a "conservative" multimillionaire. Other adjectives might include creepy, prurient, dictatorial and abusive, not to mention, of course, transphobic. Once more with feeling: we need to get the money out of politics. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

50,000 excess deaths related to heat this summer across Europe. This is just one of the reasons why fossil fuels must stay in the ground.

I warned 3 years ago that mink farms are a likely route to a new and horrific human pandemic, and once more I'm fervently praying it doesn't map out that way. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Who to believe? A man who lies so often many people now regard it as normal. Or the leader of a proud nation that has resisted invasion by the dictatorship for over four years. Shouldn't be a hard choice for anyone.

Technology doesn't control society, humans do. Powerful voices are pushing AI into every corner of our lives, from classrooms to jobs. But despite what they say, AI is not inevitable. It is a political choice and we can choose a different future. #TechEthics #SystemChange #YouthVoices

The planet doesn't need more data centres. It needs more forests, clean air and a future.

#archers I see they’re still going with the old single woman with a cat drama 🙄 no cliches there then

The real reward Britain got from drilling for all that oil and gas was an artificially high pound that wiped out manufacturing and the growth of corruption in the city of London finance houses. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Sure, we should, if we can (many cannot). But as I keep pointing out, the government itself is making no provision at all. No stockpiles, no back-up, no alternative sources. It's individuating the response to a collective problem, and that never ends well. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This won't go anywhere, obviously, but it's still a useful indication of how they'd act if they ever get into Government. Locking up journalists would just be the start

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Just had a storm preparedness email from National Grid, which contained something I didn't know: dial 105 to report power cuts. One to remember ahead of the weekend?

For OCC, Cllr Gareth Epps said: “The report shows Wantage & Grove is ripe for rail investment and justifies our calls for a station.” Local MP Olly Glover said: “I will continue to champion this campaign, which is so important for the growing communities of Grove and Wantage.”

Severe droughts then severe flooding. Welcome to the early stages of worsening climate chaos. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Jackdaw won't bring down energy bills. Everyone knows it - even the Energy Secretary. So why is the Prime Minister suggesting it will?

That's not what these new hyperscale data centres are being built for. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

If you have to tell people you don't want an entire demographic "dead" you are revealing a great deal about yourself.

I am furious that the government approved Jackdaw - a gas field that will do nothing for jobs, bills, or energy security. This climate vandalism has to stop. The answer is No To Rosebank.

Let’s eradicate our life support systems – that’ll teach the liberals! It's not just about giving destructive industries what they want, important as this is. The likes of Trump and Bolsonaro will kill the planet out of a vengeful desire to hurt. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

South Oxfordshire District Council will debate a motion today, calling on the government to properly assess the impacts of AI data centres on water and electricity resources in the water-stressed district. Culham, in South Oxfordshire, has been identified as the UK’s first “AI growth zone.”

She continued “Communities are being forced to accept the proliferation of AI data centres across our water-stressed areas. AI is being sold on promises of future benefits while the impacts in the here-and-now in terms of jobs, water and the environment are real and present and are being ignored.”

After the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was signed, Stalin toasted Hitler as a "fine fellow". Later in 1939, Soviet state newspaper Pravda published birthday greetings sent to Stalin, full of warm praise, from both Hitler and Ribbentrop. Evil attracts evil.

Approving the Jackdaw gas field solves none of our problems, while contributing to the existential crisis of climate breakdown. The government has privileged special interests above the general interest. It's a shameful, cowardly decision.

Today's decision by Labour to approve new drilling in the North Sea is climate vandalism. It's a betrayal of all of our futures, and Labour has abandoned all credibility in the fight against climate change. This is a victory for Shell over the people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

Mental health concerns for men for attacking women. Ah yes of course, not misogyny or targeted violence against a woman he knew. No it’s not his fault to rip off her legs. #maleviolence

UK: "Government failures allowed COVID to 'spread like wildfire' in care homes, inquiry says" "The COVID pandemic "totally disrupted" the lives of people in care homes and had a "devastating impact" - there were more than 43,000 deaths involving COVID in care homes between March 2020 and July 2022"

This is what Burnham was too dishonest to announce before the Holborn & St Pancras byelection. The centrist drones in mainstream media saying the Green Party should focus on “Green issues” - as if they are separate from everything else - are now going to criticise us for focusing on Green Issues.

BBC News is a good example of big cuts still to come. Today, it has told staff of 100 more job losses, saving £5.5m. That's on top of previous cuts of £25m and £1.8m. But it has to get to a total of £51m in cuts - so still plenty to come next year.

Burnham is sending UK troops to Saudi Arabia to back their horrific bombing campaign in Yemen. The Saudi's have committed horrific war crimes in Yemen, causing a famine and cholera outbreak. The UK shouldn't be backing them under any circumstances.

"This hatred, it’s like a cancer. It spreads because people will always say, ‘Oh, it’s just the illegals.’ It’s not. “From what I experienced, it was anyone who was remotely different, different creed, different colour, different sexuality.” www.theargus.co.uk/news/2665180...

Trump is helping Putin to kill Ukrainians. A cruel and desperate act from a man who is trying to cover up the fact that he is responsible for the high price of oil and gas. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

So no more Burnham bounce now he’s shown he’s continuity Starmer again: Jackdaw Conflating anti genocide with anti semitism Ruling out capital gains tax He’s just as scared as the billionaires as any other Labour leader. We need change and hope. Join the Green Party join.greenparty.org.uk

You may have seen reports about the campaign for charities to be more 'transparent' about who funds them. Well it turns out the mysterious new right-wing think tank behind it won't say who funds or runs them, and used fake names for the authors of the report which launched their campaign

It would be hilarious, if it were not so sinister.
