“A real test of this government will be torule out new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea. The reason they have decided not to announce that before the by-election in Holborn and St Pancras is incredibly telling.”

We loved this so much we just had to put English subtitles on it, apologies to the French speakers for our translation. But this is what it would look like here in the UK if Farage or Lowe or another of their ilk got their own way.

Labour and Burnham have been silent on capping political donations while Reform gets £72 million from Farage's billionaire mates.

We need @zackpolanski.bsky.social in Parliament to hold Labour to account, not another Labour backbencher to wave through Burnham's policies without scrutiny.

It's not enough to say the donors won't get peerages or contracts. They don't ask for either.
Those donations are for political influence, to turn this 🇬🇧 into a place where only the super rich thrive, where crypto currency is not regulated, and there's no protection for ordinary working folk.

The way British democracy is being bought by crypto billionaires is simply obscene - and a direct result of Labour’s unforgivable inaction

Thank you @gilltav.bsky.social for reminding us all of the Police response in 2021 👇 when some 40 environmental activists of Insulate Britain blocked the Port of Dover: 39 arrests.

Compare that to yesterday when 200-400 fascist paramilitaries intimidated Dover town and blocked the Port: 0 arrests.

Britain should be at the forefront of the global fight against climate change.

The Conservatives trying to scrap our climate commitments is the opposite of leadership.

Months after the govt announced they were looking into decoupling the price of electricity from gas, we still have no further details or timelines on these plans - all while families across the UK face down surging energy bills.

I've written to the SoS for Energy Security and Net Zero for answers.

3- painful beyond imagination

Selling the oil and gas from new North Sea fields would generate £28.7 bn

And burning it would cause £119-336 billion in economic damage

Yet there's nothing special about those fields, I bet you'd find similar figures for any fossil fuels. That stuff is deadly

Reform UK wants power. But it's haemorrhaging recruits - resigning, suspended, or quitting Farage's outfit - then mopping up failed Tories to fill the gaps.

The pattern is the story. But no one's keeping track. Until now. 👇

This supercharged El Niño will raise global temperatures and shift rainfall, causing severe drought in some regions and flooding in others.
In the UK we expect to go straight from a summer of drought to an autumn/winter of heavy rain and flooding.

One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days!

Wow!

What a thing to claim!

And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it.

Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄

If you lied like this in a normal job you’d be sacked, why is white Reform leader George Finch still in office? Why are our journos who’ve been clutching their pearls defending publishing stories in the public interest not hounding him for fabricating complaints & lying to his constituents 🤨 ?
Reform are furious about LGBT books invading Warwick libraries. Reform leader George Finch said he was acting on “a number” of complaints from local people.
So Labour MP Rachel Taylor asked the council for the actual figures. There have been zero complaints.
