The Deform leader of Warwickshire Council Council Rob Howard has quit, meaning the council is now being led by an 18-year-old. Deform Ltd – the party of government, my a****! They couldn't run an Ann Summers party.

😳 As more than 100 backbench Labour MPs prepare to rebel against the Government's cruel welfare cuts, Kemi Badenoch has offered Tory votes to push through the cuts. Labour and Conservatives teaming up to punish vulnerable people. Who'd have thought it... 🤷

Iran’s stockpile dropped to 0 after Obama made the Iran Deal… until Trump pulled out of it (against the advice of his own Defense Secretary, General Mattis… because he hated Obama) Feels pretty relevant in this moment.

As the US edges closer to bombing Iran, Israel killed over 51 starving Palestinians at a so-called aid site today. And the UK government says nothing. Still arming Israel. Still enabling genocide. End all arms sales. Sanction Israeli war criminals. Stop being America’s poodle.

Notice how #trevorphillips begins his program with Iranian attacks on Israel and how he reports cities have been hit & at least 8 people have ben killed. He then says this has followed Israeli attacks on "Iranian nuclear & missile sites". No mention of cities hit or people killed

Unlike Iran, Israel refuses to sign the non proliferation treaty. Unlike Iran Israel already has nuclear weapons. Unlike Iran Israel refuses to allow IAEA inspection & oversight of its nuclear programme But the UK govt tells us they are concerned about Irans nuclear programme.

BBC Newswatch desperately trying to justify their excessive exposure of ReformUK today, but every argument only supports the complaints. Of course, their support will grow if the other parties don't even get the airtime to promote their own policies! Absolutely outrageous bias from the BBC. 😡

What a pathetic excuse for a leader Keir Starmer is. Tripping over himself to drive home his message of “Israel’s right to self-defence” in his interview with Bloomberg this afternoon. You would think Iran had launched unprovoked bombing raids on Israel instead of the other way round.

As climate scientists, we can only tell you why climate change is happening and how severe the consequences will be. It takes voters to choose politicians who will listen and enact policies to avoid the worst possible outcomes.

A truly terrible development, for everyone. Things will not be ok in this country until liberal conservatism returns, but by God there isn't much sign of that.

Even more worrying, it looks like the year-over-year jump in atmospheric carbon dioxide also hit a new record (up 3.6ppm over last year) — meaning not only is climate change not slowing down, it's actually accelerating.

🇳🇴 Norway took its oil wealth and built the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund — investing in pensions, healthcare, and the future. 🇬🇧 Britain sold ours off in the 1980s, handed control to private corporations, and spent the revenues on short-term tax cuts.

Angela Rayner and the Labour Party are complicit in a dangerous gamble with the nation’s security, turning a blind eye to the festering corruption at the Teesside freeport while championing the Tory-led nationwide rollout of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and freeports. Thread

It seemed completely mad that the (esteemed) Crick Institute offer for early testing was not even responded to, Especially if it rolled out a testing protocol and was the lead institute of other organisations using their protocols.

This story requires a great deal more attention. The Trump administration is doing everything it can to get Russian gas back into Europe. This is Washington and Moscow now in full strategic alignment via a shared vision of a fossil fuel future.
