Fantastic to see this! A two-driver, multi-thousand km, multi-country journey in a #BEV #HGV is now a reality. The so-called niches where #BatteryElectric supposedly falls short are vanishing rapidly! youtu.be/KyA8KnHxI34?...

A deep & insightful interview with one of the few politicians in the U.S. who genuinely offers hope 4 a better future. AOC speaks candidly about the stark inequality in the tax system, where the wealthy contribute far less % than the working class. 1/2 Well worth watching: youtu.be/lbbKkoxFVd0?...

Election Leafletting. Strava is a great app for recording your route.

From small acorns.... @aoc.bsky.social youtu.be/vSilE1oyQYM?...

@aoc.bsky.social Time to step up and lead the opposition. The POTUS-Putin alliance is a direct threat to global stability—risking chaos and upending the world order. Will you call this out before it’s too late?

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Radical kindness is an alternative to division & despair. Don’t fight hate with more hate. Build communities, champion climate action, and create real solutions. Let’s make progress impossible to ignore. www.jelfs.org/blog/politic... #RadicalKindness #GreenPolitics #HopeNotHate #ClimateJustice

“MaYbe shE’s goiNg to be in TroUble nOw” Maybe he can learn to read. The Constitution would be a good place to start

I agree with @lewisgoodall.com in this podcast, it is an incredibly worrying & dangerous time for Europe now. IMHO Europe initially weakened by Brexit which was helped by Russian interference in the process is now in a process of self destruction led by the far right. How do we the Left stop this?

Excited to be speaking at Everything Electric London in April! It’s crucial to separate fact from fiction in the energy transition. If your business, organisation, or school wants climate myths debunked, I’m always happy to speak. #Hydrogen #CleanEnergy uk.everythingelectric.show/london/speak...

I am sure someone at YouTube is trying to get on my nerves by showing this advertisement repeatedly 🤦‍♂️

Drax power station’s green claims crumble again—fined £25m for dodgy data & caught burning wood from vital forests. Billions in subsidies for what? More CO₂ than coal & a century to ‘offset’ emissions. Time to stop pretending & shut it down. #ClimateCrisis #Drax www.bbc.com/news/article...

www.google.com/amp/s/news.s... Billions for 'unproven' carbon capture technology will have 'very significant' impact on energy bills, MPs warn My evidence to this committee can be found in post below #PAC #CCUS #Methane Net Zero Teesside legal case

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Musk's decision to block #USAID, sanctioned by #POTUS, will endanger countless lives. The gravity of this move is alarming, and the devastation it could wreak over the next four years is a terrifying prospect.

Well worth a listen, IMHO one of the best situation comedy series ever. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Love this new @thejuicemedia.bsky.social video. youtu.be/JBqVVBUdW84?...

Elections for Leicestershire County Council are to go ahead in May despite the Conservative Controlled Council trying to stop them.

Why can Labour Councillors not give a straight answer to a question.

💨 Most hydrogen today is still fossil-based. 💡 "Green hydrogen" isn’t always green. 🔥 Blue hydrogen can be worse than grey. The hydrogen industry hides emissions behind colour codes—what really matters is carbon intensity. www.jelfs.org/blog/hydroge... #Hydrogen #Greenwashing #ClimateAction

🚍 Hydrogen vs. Battery-Electric Buses: Which Wins? ⚡ With hydrogen double-deck buses launching in Crawley, I compared them to battery-electric. Which charges faster? Has the longest range? Uses less energy? www.jelfs.org/blog/hydroge... #EVs #Hydrogen #ZeroEmissions #Buses #FCEV #BEV

💨 Hydrogen cars: the future that never arrived? Billions in funding, 20+ years of R&D, even 700 bar storage—yet hydrogen cars remain niche, expensive & impractical. Meanwhile, BEVs keep winning. So, is hydrogen road transport doomed? www.jelfs.org/blog/hydroge... #Hydrogen #EVs #Climate

🚗💨 Who is this sign for—those frustrated they can’t speed? Cars can still hit 100+ mph, but e-bikes are stuck at 15 mph (should be 20 mph). Time to cap all vehicles at 80 mph for safety? #RoadSafety #SpeedLimits #Ebike #Transport

The Government met today with 700 "business lobbyists." Guess who was amongst them?

Why not electronically limit all cars to a maximum of 80mph. Yes speed limit restricting technology is not perfect but a simpler change like this surely makes sense. BBC News - Drivers caught speeding at 164mph told to stop being 'selfish' - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Another outstanding video by @zoejardiniere.bsky.social , addressing and correcting the misleading narrative perpetuated by right-wing mainstream media about the number of undocumented migrants in the UK. youtu.be/8N-DWUHRM_s?...

Some further thoughts on a #Whetstone Pastures Reservoir to solve #Flooding issues in the village & #Littlethorpe plus #Countesthorpe ? "there may be valid reasons why this might not be a workable solution, but I will leave that to experts in the area to determine." www.jelfs.org/blog/local-n...

Interesting email from the Conservative Party this morning. Which contained the following... "But the Conservative Party is now under new leadership. And we’re now going to do politics differently. We’re going to tell people the truth, even when it’s difficult to hear. "

This Government is a danger to us all. "Economic growth is more important to the UK government than net zero, Rachel Reeves has said, dropping a heavy hint that she intends to shrug off climate concerns & reaffirm her backing of a third Heathrow runway." www.theguardian.com/business/202...

It will be interesting to watch the #Leicestershire Environment & Climate Change Committee Meeting this afternoon. After the recent significant flooding in the County. www.youtube.com/live/cXzawcd...

Great to see @leicsccc.bsky.social Alex Green playing for #England Under 19s today!! www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricke...

Cruel rules on how much you have to earn in order to bring your spouse to live with you in the UK are tearing families apart, like my constituent who was forced to choose between being separated from his wife, or moving to Taiwan.

Interesting reading about the performances of #Leicestershire County #Cricket Club players overseas this winter. I really hope Alex Green gets selected this week to play for the Under 19s. www.leicestershireccc.co.uk/news/holland...

For our new BlueSky followers this video explains our campaign for the regulation of fact-based claims in electoral advertising. You can find out more about our campaign at reformpoliticaladvertising.org.

For those landowners and others with an interest in how Solar can compliment rather than replace farming, I highly recommend watching this video. #solarenergy #solarpanels #solarpower youtu.be/vZIC_3M1Goo?...

I know there might be plans to build a M1 Junction at Whetstone, but I think this should mention Enderby in this article. BBC News - Leicestershire: Stretch of busy M69 to close for maintenance work - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Interesting perspective on the new BYD London Buses. I personally really like the design, certainly distinctive. youtu.be/wN0W39NAGj8?...
