Today on a special Earth Day episode of the pod, three environmental experts share stories about times when environmental action succeeded in saving the planet—and explain why this can be done again
An image containing a post from Isabel Oakeshott complaining that the press are reporting on her boyfriend’s tax dodging accompanied by various reports about his tax dodging.
'Richard Tice’s girlfriend is very annoyed that the free press she champions, despite having emigrated to a dictatorship without one, is investigating her boyfriend for stuff she says people who aren’t her boyfriend, like Angela Rayner, should resign over.'
You couldn’t make it up. 🤦🏻♂️
OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.
Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

In case you’re confused - the £100k of tax Richard Tice failed to pay here is totally different to the
- £92k of tax not properly withheld on dividends
- the £600k side-stepped via highly aggressive tax avoidance

No mention by Henry Zeffman of George Robertson's glaring conflict of interest regarding his comments about the need for more investment in defence. Surely this is journalism 101?

Bravo! What an incredible, informed message from a foreign dignitary in honour of #StPatricksDay ☘️
Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.
This is the company the UK government has embedded in the nation’s services. Seriously, fuck everyone who is excusing this.
Genuine questions: could these people be in the pay of the regime? And would that, to use language some of them favour, make them both ‘economic migrants’ *and* ‘welfare scroungers’?

RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.
Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.
No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.
Worth a watch.

My goodness, I missed this by @michaelspicer.bsky.social. It is as near to perfect as a thing can get. I actually did an honest-to-Betsie spit-take at the Poundland joke. And the meta coda is out of this world.

Huge applause as Starmer declares Britain has moved beyond the Brexit years. One of the strongest EU speeches by a PM in decades - yet barely covered by the BBC or MSM. While serious leadership is ignored, airtime still goes to Farage and recycled outrage. Kuenssberg, Zeffman, Mason, Gibb - out.
This duet cover of Radiohead's "Creep", between a son and his Shastriya Sangeet classically trained mother, is the mash-up I didn't know how much I needed in my life. Totally spontaneous sobbing may have taken place.

BREAKING: Rachel Reeves insists Labour can win political argument for closer relationship with EU, calling it “biggest prize” for UK economic growth 👏
The government doesn't care about what is coming for you and your children.
There is no climate action or leadership.

In 2025, Meta paid an effective federal tax rate of 3.5% — its lowest on record.
Meanwhile, Meta is pumping at least $65 million into super PACs to stifle regulation of AI and tech.
Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax, it's corrosive to democracy.
It’s £5.50 per year.
Watching Andrea Bocelli sing in the closing moments of the opening ceremony made a very sh*tty week a bit better.

🇨🇦 PM Mark Carney put it well in his book Values: society has confused “value” (market price) with “values” (social, moral and ethical principles).
The EU is a values-based system: rule of law, democracy and human rights, checks on power...
Align wisely, UK.

“Not quite fair”!! What an insult from this desperate & despicable opportunist!!😤🤬
Distressing that Canada, which has the most to lose from this change, is ready to face reality, whilst Starmer bets on Churchillian nostalgia for the 'special relationship' and actively rejects meaningfully closer economic engagement with the EU, which must be where our future lies.
Let's not blow this out of proportion. It was just an admin error. Two admin errors. A few admin errors. Seventeen admin errors worth £380,000.
Well worth a listen from Canadian PM Mark Carney at Davos summit.

Honestly, @mark-carney.bsky.social is already the GOAT of Davos!.
His speech was monumental!.
Take a half hour to watch and listen.
It was brilliant.
If only our Government and others around the world would be so brave!.
