Boris Johnson 2019: police funding is being "spaffed up the wall" investigating historic child abuse. Boris Johnson 2025: “I don't know why we don't have a national inquiry [into the grooming gangs]…”

The "Mammoth" carbon capture plant in Iceland removes 36,000 tons of CO2 from the air annually. It is the only functioning plant anywhere near this size. The world produces 37.01 billion tons of CO2 per year. That's 1 million times as much. So ... no. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Look the JK Rowling thing is pretty cut and dry she is still personally being directly enriched by consumption of Harry Potter and then using those riches to actively participate in a campaign against trans people This ain't a case of a problematic author, it's material support to terrorism

Today is #EarthDay 🌍 Multiple studies have shown that countries with proportional voting systems tend to have better environmental protections. Why is that? Here are some possible reasons 👇🧵

Ryan Coogan, Reform UK Mayoral Candidate for Peterborough and Cambridgeshire, threatening legal action against a constituent for sharing a public video of Nigel Farage. Crazy.

2025: Nigel Farage, "We've never ever ever suggested anything other than the NHS should be free" 2012: Nigel Farage, "We need to think about healthcare very very differently. We're going to have to move to an insurance based system of healthcare" And don't forget he got it wrong on Brexit too

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK. THIS IS WHY youtu.be/MdiDDJrQUJA?...

So let’s have a little look at the Right wing media feeding off its own ecosystem. Here’s @TiceRichard claiming NET ZERO caused the Heathrow shut down, while sharing a Telegraph article that appears to back up his claim Must be true then, right?? 🧐you know the drill… 🧵 1/

Rejoining the EU just became A LOT more urgent. In a world where you literally can't count on the USA for anything at all any more, grab your friends when you can! And if Labour can play the "circumstances have changed" card to bin foreign aid, they certainly can to stampede back towards the EU!

URGENT Object to Planning Change of Use/internal alterations for "American" burger restaurant, no connection to town/history. Magnificent art deco pub, national importance, saved from demolition/listed by SaveDuke, bought/restored with public/lottery money. Council decided v. heritage pub with food.

Scrap austerity – tax the super-rich instead. Britain can’t rebuild with more cuts – a wealth tax on the richest is the fair alternative to funding public services and growth.

This should be changed asap. If we give someone refugee status, it can't be right to then refuse them route to become a British Citizen. To say they can have a home in our country, but never a place in our society and be forever second class. freemovement.org.uk/good-charact...

Great to talk about this report with @matthew-wright.bsky.social on @lbc.co.uk just after 8am this morning. We have just over 3 months until the UK/EU summit. Now is the moment to make the case for closer alignment with the EU. The prize is a growth dividend worth tens of billions to the economy.

GBeebies visiting really Brexity areas to find anyone who thinks it was a good idea. It's not going well. "I really struggle to think of anything positive that's come out of it. A lot of people that I speak to said that if they had the choice again, would vote to stay." ~AA

Labour have a gigantic majority. It's like having temporary charge of a bulldozer. There's no policy Starmer can't bludgeon through Parliament, if he wants. The other parties have no practical way to stop him. But in 4.5 years, the bulldozer is likely to get repossessed. So the clock is ticking...
