Given that we’re a nation of nature lovers, whose conservation charities are among the world's biggest membership organisations, Keir Starmer’s repeated attacks on voters who want to protect the living planet, calling us “time-wasting nimbys”, “blockers” and “zealots”, is frankly idiotic.

I do not understand why the ICO allows these obnoxious cookie tools. This is @newscientist.com, but it's far from the only offender. There are dozens of these "legitimate interests" toggles, which are not immediately visible, and which have to be turned off one by one.

Poor building standard has a £5bn cost to house buyers. It is time for all new builds to be near passivhous standard www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The #GlobalClimateMajority is a sleeping giant. When it awakens we will not forget all these cynical games by dishonest corporate & political actors that made empty #NetZero promises then doubled down on ALL. THAT. BURNING. Fool me once. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

Always telling on himself.

GOP plans to increase the tax rate by 74% by 2031 for people earning $15,000 yearly.

"Polluter Pays" bill to be introduced to UK Parliament “Fossil fuel giants have driven us to the cliff edge of climate catastrophe. They’ve made obscene profits while millions suffer. It’s only right that those most responsible fund urgent climate action needed” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

MP to launch bill to target superyachts, private jets and fossil fuel producers Bill would force major polluters to pay into fund for flood defences and home insulation. Wealthy elites are the biggest polluters and must pay, but Govt/Tories won't support the Bill.

150,000 people will have benefit payments cut by DWP under PIP changes. Not accompanied by assessment of the human cost of arbitrary fiscal rules. Why pick on the disabled? Tax the rich.

The treasonous compromised prostitute strikes again...

The Economist estimates that the annual cost of the Reform/Farage promises is £200bn and savings of around £100bn, due to cuts in public services and deep austerity. Reform/Farage will promise anything to grab power, but will face the Truss moment. Under scrutiny Reform will wriggle.

Fossil-fuel grifters want you to see this as a “left” or “woke” issue. But in reality, this is on track to be a “watching your family starve” issue.

Ah yes, taking bold action against... librarians.

MP's concern over homes in converted office blocks. Tory/LibDem law enabled conversion, without planning permission. Substandard, cramped, fire risk slums. Social Cleansing: Richer boroughs buy offices in poorer areas, dump people there, multiplying problems in poorer areas. Deregulation kills.

If. Soil. Dies. We. All. Die. Treating this complex ecosystem like literal dirt is on track to be the deadliest mistake in the history of our species.

Time for the predictable MAGA outrage

Don't be a Black police officer who speaks out about racism, is what the Met is telling @andygeorgeni.bsky.social. But we think the Met should go after the racists in its own ranks - not their victims. goodlaw.social/13y1

MURPHY: Do you believe that you can detain and deport a legal permanent resident for expressing a political opinion that the administration disagrees with? NOEM: The determination you're asking for is based on things that you are determining that the secretary of state has considered and evaluated

Wildfire risk is high as flames trigger evacuation orders across Alberta. It's too soon to say if Alberta will burn down another city this year in their endless drive to increase carbon emissions but chances look good www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #ClimateCrisis #abpoli #yyc #yeg #yql #ymm #Jasper #yzh

According to the 2024 Ipsos World Affairs Report, Canada is the most positively viewed global leader, 79% of people across 30 countries believe we’re a force for good. Stability, respect, kindness. That’s the reputation on the line every time we vote. Leading ahead of Germany and France.
