BROWDER: Trump’s policies towards Putin don’t make sense and not in America’s national interest. Why is Trump so apprehensive about holding Putin to account? Who knows what deal he has with Putin. There’s a pattern of foreign governments enriching Trump or people close to him.
Just how is this not the end of #BadEnoch ? That said, I am more than happy she leads the Tory scum. #BadEnough

Zack Polanski, "If we decarbonise by 2050, that would cost less than a single (fossil-fuel) energy shock" "We've now had two energy shocks in just a few years" "We cannot keep waiting, we cannot keep hoping for magic technologies - it already exists, what is lacking is the political will"
As ever, @iandunt.bsky.social provides the cathartic dose of visceral contempt that is needed in these situations… “Badenoch is a joke, but her actions are deadly serious. Her continued presence as Tory leader undermines the party and corrodes public life.” liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/468...
"None of England’s fire and rescue services are thought to have direct access to firefighting aircraft." It's outrageous. Make the fossil fuel companies pay. www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/country-and-...
Fossil fuel producers should pay for wildfire helicopters, Zack Polanski says
Next week is the anniversary of the start of the Langdale Moor Fire in North Yorkshire, the largest wildfire in the country last year.

Zack Polanski, "One of my biggest achievements in my one year as leader of the Green party was helping topple an unpopular prime minister" "If we had not won Gorton and Denton, Keir Starmer would not have the leadership crisis that we had, and we wouldn't have had Andy Burnham turn up"
Burning fossil fuels makes wildfires more frequent and more intense. Of course those who have made record profits causing the problem should pick up the bill.

Nearly two-thirds opposed creating the Greater Cambridge Development Corporation. Similar numbers opposed its proposed planning powers. The government is going ahead anyway. So what happens to local democratic control? @eastangliabylines.co.uk @stephenmcnair.bsky.social

APPLEBAUM: Where we're now is hard to parse because Trump says contradictory things. Seems he’s frustrated with Putin, that he mistakenly believed he's so charming he'd persuade Putin to end the war. Trump is warmer about Zelensky, but not warm enough to actually do much that makes a difference.

The Russian State really is the king of hypocritical whinging…It’s seeking to prosecute Duval, the CEO of Telegram for terrorism offences as it complains Telegram was used by Ukraine to “lure Russian citizens into sabotage and terrorist activities through deception and psychological manipulation”.…
Republican primary voters are so racist that a guy named Tom Smith who DROPPED OUT OF THE RACE is going to defeat Trump’s endorsed candidate because his name is Amir Hassan.
