Wow! I sure feel both freer and safer!

So the UK Met Office is inviting people to suggest up to 5 names for storms. And apparently lots of people have been suggesting "Storm Bigoil", along with BP, Equinor, Exxon & Shell... This is obviously appalling & definitely not to be emulated via this link: www.metoffice.gov.uk/forms/name-o...

🔴£2 Billion of Fraudulent Covid Loans Remains At Large With Government Accused of ‘Passivity’ in Claiming Funds Huge sums have yet to be returned five years after the last Conservative Government’s Covid ‘bounce back’ loan scheme was launched, reports @davidhencke.bsky.social

This is what happens when honest politicians spend their time talking to real experts and researching independent evidence, instead of filling their days talking to donors, think-tanks, treasury advisors, lobbyists and ‘listening to the concerns of business’. Refreshing, ain’t it?

MIND THE (spark) GAP The way UK electricity is price auctioned (set by gas) And the way taxes and levies are set (lift electricity prices) Is holding back climate action and hitting the poorest hardest.

Now the green party will be continuously on the news cycle?

It's Wednesday and that means it's time for a new short horror story! This time, our story is based on a chilling prompt from @lilbeethoven92.bsky.social: Star Wars. Listen below on Redcircle with Spotify/Apple/Amazon links in the thread.

What is the point of us being net zero when China....oh hang on ..

This is a barn-stormer. The part about Keir Starmer is boggling.

This has got to be the most idiotic policy I’ve ever heard. Why not let everyone just pay a quid and then abolish tax altogether? Close all the schools, hospitals and just hope for the best? Or maybe just fuck off?

Farage announced a new 'policy' on Monday but it was more Grifter Hood than Robin Hood wp.me/p15p2Q-erY

Bluesky hive mind call out: For our launch on the 28th July, Media Revolution is looking for examples of brazen media disinformation from around the world (overt or by omission). I think I probably have enough from the USA but don't hold back. Do DM me if anything comes to mind.

Hallo everyone, I've just started doing comedy for kids gigs. I have loads booked in. I would love to write for kids TV etc but have no idea where to start. Can anyone help etc?

Take note.

Fossil fuels are completely ridiculous. 20% of the world's oil and gas flows through this one chokepoint Bonkers forms of energy, imo. It's terrifying that we haven't already made good enough progress ditching them iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/140a0... www.politico.eu/article/iran...
