I found out this afternoon that this guy is dating Marjorie Taylor Greene, and his dipshit question made a little bit more sense.

I voted Green not Labour, but here's my Prime Minister - our Prime Minister - doing it right.

Context: In the fiscal year 2024, the US federal government spent $6.75 trillion DOGE are saving peanuts, whilst causing untold damage to the fabric of civil society in the US. Why am I, as a Brit, bothered? Because ideas like DOGE can travel across the Atlantic. Unfortunately.

Rumours about the death of journalism are just that: by investigating and reporting that DOGE are repeatedly making shit up, Stephen and his colleagues at NPR are carrying the flame, and it still burns bright.

As Jim Royle famously never said: trickle down, my arse.

Your regular reminder that "trickle down economics" is a term invented by David Stockman of Regan's administration to excuse neoliberal supply-side economic policies. It was borrowed from a comedian, and David later had to apologise for using it. It means nothing and is not serious economics.

Great summary thread of the UK's 7th carbon budget, published this week by the government's official climate advisors.

submitted 8 hours ago • 0 comments

Simon's spot on here but, for civilians, I'm going to translate the acronyms he uses: The Climate Change Commission (CCC), who this week published their 7th carbon budget, include carbon capture & storage (CCS). But would they be able to do so if they didn't ignore upstream emissions? Probably not.

"Trump’s verbal assault on Zelenskyy in the Oval Office was far from a moment of unpredictability. Instead, it was Trump’s true beliefs coming out into the fore." - a spot-on observation within a great piece of analysis.

breaking the collection of long datasets in science (incl. weather, climate, and cancer research), economics, and other fields, through mass layoffs of federal employees and cuts to NIH funding, will be impossible to recover from, and everyone will suffer as a result, not just people in the US.

As @dougparr.bsky.social says, "such a decision would ignore solid evidence that increasing air travel would not drive economic growth. The only thing it's set to boost is air pollution, noise and climate emissions." It's also v disappointing that Unite have come out in favour of expanding Gatwick.

"The transition to net zero is not only possible but highly beneficial. Academic analyses consistently show that it will strengthen the economy, deliver warmer homes, cheaper household bills, reduced air pollution, greater energy security with less reliance on imported gas, and many other benefits."

The Energy Price Cap, introduced five years ago to prevent households on variable tariffs being ripped off, is no longer fit for purpose. By sitting on their hands instead of reforming the energy market, Starmer and his front bench are failing consumers, and making the cost of living crisis worse.
