Britainā€™s net zero economy is booming, CBI says www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It was very mean to put a cat that looks like my cat in A Quiet Place Day One. I was hugging her and crying by the end of a horror movie!

We desperately need to see the end of the bloodshed in Ukraine, but the Ukrainian people need to be front and centre of any settlement. We cannot have Putin or Trump dictating the future of Ukraine.

THEM and US. The Criminal Finances Act 2017 is supposed to combat corporate tax evasion. The Minister says "Since its introduction, there have been no prosecutions or convictions of corporations". Billions lost. Laws created, not enforced. Govts chase little people. Big beasts get favours

Just when you thought they couldn't be any more cruel Labour have decided to block refugees arriving by small boat from becoming British citizens. This awful decision does nothing to improve the lives of people in this country. The Green Party says clearly - Refugees welcome.

Coming to the UK to claim asylum is a right protected in international law, and therefore any notion of illegality is legally wrong. Also, denying citizenship would leave a lot of refugees stateless, in direct contravention of the Convention on Statelessness 1954 to which the UK is a signatory. (1)

Denying refugees citizenship simply on the grounds that they arrived here ā€œillegallyā€ on small boats *when there are no legal routes* for most to use takes cynicism to new heights. If Govt thinks such performative cruelty will see off Reform, theyā€™re wrong - itā€™s more likely to strengthen it

Top tip. Donā€™t have insomnia in the middle of a coup. An executive order has now given DOGE oversight of all government departments. Itā€™s a complete takeover of the federal government by Musk. A Musk ā€˜team leadā€™ will now make all hiring decisions according to a ā€˜data-drivenā€™ model

My kitten grew overnight into a juvenile cat and I believe sheā€™s now reached peak velociraptor! Send help. Or automated laser pointers. Itā€™s 8:30 and Iā€™m already exhausted!

Book burning? If everything was digital in Hitler's 1930s Germany, this is what his book burning would have looked like: deletion of data, removal of websites, retraction of scientific studies, censorship of words like "equity," "diversity," "climate change."

Here's the full story. šŸ‘‡ goodlaw.social/3g4v

The rich speak with Ministers one-to-one and laws are changed. Poor buy worry beads. UK govt is to change the law on non-dom taxation. They demanded it. Any chance of changing law on two-child benefit cap, cuts in winter fuel payments? Watch Minister's reply. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sm1i...

Here's how the mind of a conspiracy theorist works: Graham Linehan once noticed that the people criticising him appeared to be quite eloquent. But that would mean they were intelligent, and that couldn't be!? So, he came up with the theory that they were using "Grammarly" to appear intelligent. 1/

As the Climate and Nature Bill goes to the vote tomorrow, a reminder that it has the backing of over 1000 climate scientists and other academics This is the only legislation on the table based on what the science tells us we need to do to secure a liveable future #CANBill

Rachel Reeves to soften changes to non-dom tax regime after hearing ā€˜concernsā€™. Another election pledge diluted. Any chance of softening on the two-child benefit cap, winter fuel payment cut, freeze on personal allowance? Thought not ... the rich rule. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

All the planets are in view! The planet parade is happening! Check it out on ournightsky.us !! #space #planets #planetparade #space #nightsky #astrophotography

This is the only flag Iā€™m flying today. For Janey. #Trumpisacunt Letā€™s make it trend.

Petition: Last year, global temperatures averaged 1.5Ā°C above pre-industrial levels, catalysing extreme weather and devastation. We need a government-led public campaign to explain the science, risks and urgent actions required. Add your support šŸ‘‡

Calling all fellow modernist architecture/concrete fansā€¦

This is not Valencia, this is the town Tenbury Wells UK. There are very real consequences for all of us of ignoring 40 years of warnings from NASA & the worldā€™s leading scientists. Reminder: as the planet heats, the atmosphere holds more moisture meaning rainfall intensity increases. #climatechange

Same again tonight folks. Another cold one and SWEP has been activated. Give them a call if you see anyone in Liverpool sleeping rough.

The best type of snow, pretty on the trees and roof, melted on the ground.

All is well, I found a thread of cats! This is 'mine':

Subscribed to too many starter packs and now I'm overwhelmed! Need to work out how to do the separate feeds thing, anyone seen any handy tips on this. I'm not lazy btw, just unwell atm.
