BREAKING π¨: COP30 is flooded with 1,600 fossil fuel lobbyists.
One in every 25 people inside the climate talks is working for the industry that caused this crisis.
They outnumber almost every country, including those losing lives to storms, drought and heat.

One ~182km x ~211km solar thermal plant could provide all of Americaβs electricity, including a fully-electrified land transport sector.
100% clean power from just 0.39% of U.S land.
Thatβs why renewables are constantly under attack from the fossil fuel industry and their paid mouthpieces.
Birmingham, my home city, is a fantastic city, with fantastic people- a success story. It has its problems, like anywhere. But the obsession the online right has with it is as transparent as it gets.
If Jenrick goes to 90% white neighbourhoods and says they need to be integrated too, great. But I doubt he does. The idea is that England is default white. And that he thinks that is not racist. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
This is really interesting, from 6min 35sec until 10min 20sec, with Michael Gove and John McTernan. The need for the right policies for the 25 years leading up to 2050. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLAp...
If there is one thing that will supercharge the loss of Labour voters to the Greens/Lib Dems/Reform, it's ID cards.
I prefer the 2nd album from DITB.
"It is time for you, our leaders, to take a strong and united stand." Thanks to the 200+ orgs that joined our call for communities & the country to be brought together for a different way forward β one that's compassionate & united π§‘ www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...
βWe have had the police knocking on every door,β said a dog walker and resident of Dean, as a helicopter buzzed overhead. βThey wanted the names of everybody living there and details of their social media. I know several people refused. We asked them if they were protecting us, or Vance. At least they were honest and said it is for him and that it will all be passed on to the American security people.β
Buried in The Observer yesterday was this: UK police knocking on doors demanding details of social media accounts of people, to pass to a foreign government, simply because they happen to live near where a US politician wanted to have a holiday observer.co.uk/news/nationa...
Extortion.
You keep misspelling EXTORTION you lazy ****s!!
47% of people think immigration is primarily illegal. There were 4% irregular arrivals in March
New YouGov polling. A monumental failure of our political class to educate, a monumental failure of our media to report fairly, for a generation
This is not caused primarily by "screen time".
It's been caused by the mass eradication of third places for young people in basically every city over the past three decades - and a society that's hostile to the concept of teens socialising in public spaces.

JK Rowling tweeting got a boycott of M&S, stretching facts to the breaking point, and making the world a worse place for absolutely everyone.
The employee asked the girl and her mother if they needed help shopping. Thatβs it. Thatβs all. The misinformation, the insinuations (because the facts are inconveniently benign) are EXACTLY what was done to lesbians in the 80s. This is the product of hate and fear, not reality.
What are my rights when it comes to healthcare in the UK? Refugees and people seeking asylum are entitled to NHS care. It becomes more complicated if your application for asylum has been refused. Some types of healthcare are free to everyone, and you can access them regardless of your immigration status.

Since 1981 only a third of recommendations from reports commissioned by the @ukgovernment.bsky.social on racism have been implemented.
This is not good enough.
Pleased to see @theguardian.com leading with this story - as a country we must do more.
βI thought England was a good place, more welcoming than Europe, and would help a lot. Now it feels like a hostile land.β
My report on the asylum hotel tensions, and what they reveal about Britain:
That only adds to 92% ... usually, the voting intention percentages add up to 96/97?
Wildfires have claimed 14 lives near Turkey's fourth largest city as a record 50Β°C heatwave grips the country.
I herald heat vision. I herald microwaved tea. I herald Gailactus.
See also the nudge-nudge-wink-wink support of people blowing up ULEZ cameras, or defences of the woman who called for arson, there has been a total breakdown of norms on the right against political violence.
Here's an idea politicians!
Why not chase the votes of the majority rather than a minority of racist thugs.
Crazy thought I know.
If you were born between 1970-1990 you may not have full MMR protection, even if you had parents who took you for all your jabs. The NHS will give you a free booster. With cases surging, this is a great way to protect yourself & your community. Iβm getting mine tomorrow www.nhs.uk/vaccinations...
A new report by the Charities Aid Foundation has ranked the UK at 64 for its generosity out of 101 countries and territories

βSince 2003 the percentage of people living under autocratic regimes has gone from 50% to 72%. Democracy is losing and I donβt think people realise it. So when we see the worldβs most famous liberal democracy becoming authoritarian, we have to sound the alarm,β says @chrischirp.bsky.social.

Politicians shouldnβt be surprised by what happened in Epping. After months of stoking fear about people seeking safety, this is where it leads.
Violence doesn't happen in a vacuum.
Now, more than ever, we must stand with people seeking safety and push back with solidarity and strengthπ.
