📌 ICYMI — Reform UK Councils Are Dismantling the Fight Against Climate Change
Nigel Farage's party is spreading climate change denial, while blocking any localised action to deal with the threat, an academic analysis of Reform councils has found
Robert Jenrick calling Palm Sunday 'Psalm Sunday' reminds us once again that dim witted rage baiting populists never know the slightest thing about what they are purporting to defend.
The terrible thing about science in a democratic society is that, if you pay people enough, they can unsettle things that were settled for decades, by thousands of measurements, hundreds of ongoing examinations, hard statistical evidence.
All it takes is sufficiently immoral people.
“Dear Diary,
Super excited to say that I’ll be serving my Clacton constituents today by flying to Mar-a-Lago to meet Donald Trump and to undermine the UK government. God I love being a patriot!”
Nothing is real
Never forget that Anne Frank died of typhus in a concentration camp

I've been telling so many folks that I hope my parents are happy in heaven that dad now wishes I'd picked them out a care home with a different name.
Beautiful.
There are currently no US Ambassadors in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, or Qatar. And since consular budgets have been slashed, few personnel to assist Americans trying to leave the region, even as the US issues evacuation notices instructing them to do so.
I'm over the god shit this administration is pushing. They are literally the least godly people around.

Trump: "Spain said we can't use their bases. We could use their bases if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody is gonna tell us not to use it"
Not receiving consent and moving forward anyway is a consistent theme in his life — as E. Jean Carroll can attest

I can't help thinking that the Tories' current outspoken defence of the "special relationship" has little to do with supporting Trump's little adventure and everything to do trying to embarrass Starmer. They forget however how unpopular Trump is in the UK. This isn't X!

Trump's mercurial little rant against Starmer is exactly what people have been warning would happen. No one, least of all Starmer should be surprised Trump is lashing out the minute he doesn't get what he wants. It's way past time the UK distanced itself from him

Seriously!!!!!! We are finished. And what was the guy who walked behind her thinking: ‘No eye contact, just keep walking…..’

Being a Lincoln City fan: when 1 point behind the league leaders seems a mountain to climb and 10 points ahead of third place feels like it could be blown away by a gentle breeze.
When a new car would cost less than a second hand mountain bike. Our Trust column in last week’s Echo.
The Dow Jones Index, in its 130 year history has dropped a 1,000 points or more 14 times.
Twelve out of those 14 times were under a Donald Trump Presidency.
And his mates profited every single time.
And they still haven't released the Epstein Files.
So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:
- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.
So if Kamala Harris had been elected do you think the United States would be in a war with Iran? Just asking...
Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez on Iran: “Spain is against this disaster. Because we understand that governments are here to improve people's lives, to provide solutions to problems, not to make people's lives worse.

If I was @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I would be pointing out to the BBC that whatever model they use to justify giving Farage & his boot-lickers season tickets for every BBC show under the sun must surely now treat Green Party politicians in exactly the same way. Might even be one for the lawyers...
Absolutely normal for a democracy to ban museum exhibitions that express “improper ideology”.
And in no way reminiscent of either Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy or totalitarian Communist Soviet Union.
The utterly shameless & widely covered "report" out today, claiming net zero will "cost" £9tn is based on:
* Assuming free fossil-fuel energy, free petrol cars, free gas boilers, free gas power plants etc
AND
* Including climate damages in the "cost" of net zero
I kid you not, it is that stupid
This is quite cheering, in the midst of everything. Maybe Farage next?
Beautiful! That's what we love to see! 😍
