The stupidity of Brexit! Tories only realised #Brexit impact on small boats ‘just before’ leaving EU, admits senior MP, when they realised ‘around half’ of small boat arrivals could have been returned under EU law. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Will BBC Scotland News STV News have this as their top story? Another success story by the Scottish National Party (SNP) 👇

Ed Conway accidentally destroyed Brexit on Sky News. UK food inflation jumps from 3.4% to 4.4%.

Read this by Nicholas Lezard. It’s very funny.

This was also good burn 🔥 Labour MP Adam Thompson: What is this govt doing to help people improve their maths skills as I came across an awful case of a 61 year old man (Farage) who believed he had counted up £7b of govt spending, when there was really only really £27m. He evidently can't add up? 😂

A couple nuances on this: 1. The projected yield losses are in relation *to future baseline yields*, in other words, in relation to the (higher) yields we would likely see in the absence of climate change. So cutting in half not relative to current yields but tomorrow's future higher yields.

‘How leaving the EU led to more migration’….not to mention weaker economy, fewer rights and freedoms, lost opportunities and divided families. Brexit was, is and always will be an utter shit show. I will not vote for any party that continues with it. www.europarl.europa.eu/thinktank/en...

Good job the “no more foreign wars” guy won the election.

The BBC has many journalists with a deep understanding of the Middle East but insist on using the woeful Chris Mason to interview Starmer using his usual gotcha type questioning.

REMINDER: Fossil fueled capitalism is rapidly pushing us past planetary boundaries and threatening the future of our civilization. Trump petrofascist's Drill, Baby, Drill policies lead towards ecological collapse. MAGA and the GOP are a planetary death cult. #ClimateSky 🔌💡

The fundamentals of the NO KINGS protest apply to EVERY "person" in the USA regardless of any individual attributes such as gender, race, political affiliation, or any other attribute one might identify! Individual rights, or lack thereof, is UNIVERSAL! #USDemocracy

Just talked to a trusted inside source—Trump’s inner circle is rattled by the No Kings protests nationwide. They didn’t mention Trump directly, but it’s clear they know just how toxic his brand has become. #NoKings

Another F.U to Trump

As Americans struggle with their own recent political assassinations in Minnesota, today we remember the political assassination of Jo Cox MP, brutally murdered on the streets of Britain in the run up to the EU referendum (Brexit) vote in 2016. #JoCox #BritishHero www.bbc.com/news/uk-3797...

EVs are no panacea. But they frighten the life out of the oil industry - which tells you what an important part of the climate transition they nonetheless are.

Big agri in US making sure ethanol is not going away any time soon. Just insane #energysky e360.yale.edu/features/cor...

Grandpa's brain doesn't work right anymore. Trump's brains are leaking out his ears.

Far-right MP Rupert Lowe missed the grooming gangs debate in Parliament today, to have an appointment with the police to try and get his (seized) guns back

More than 450 million Europeans. 29 countries. 1 shared freedom. In 2025, we mark 40 years since the Schengen Agreement was signed. This landmark event has reshaped how over 450 million Europeans live, work and travel.

"Together, food & transport account for ½ of the average French person’s carbon footprint – & this is 26% lower in women than in men, mostly due to men’s taste for red meat & cars. The gender gap in carbon footprints is found to be as large as the gap between lower- and higher-income individuals."

It was inevitable that there would be a brain drain from US given the cuts to funding, attacks on academic freedom and recruitment. Still sad to see though

Looks like we finally have an explanation for why the Atlantic (and, by extension, the Earth) was so warm of 2023. From Matt England et al. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Almost a decade ago, researchers calculated that microwaves can seemingly spend an imaginary amount of time within a material – now an experiment reveals how the phenomenon is perfectly real
