Things I agree with: Every day, BREAKING NEWS is SO disappointing - The rich rob the poor, by order of law (Samuel Bellamy, pirate, 1716)

Rich bloke: Climate change is bollox Rich bloke: I want a data centre (No water) I want water (still no water) I want a data centre ... Climate change is bollox ... What about my data centre ... Of course there's water ... Take it from them. Poor bloke "We're starving, there is no water".

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

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"

I would like Russians to understand that when Putin and his mindless puppets say 'Europe' is the enemy and attacks Russia - he is lying, badly. His enemy 'Europe' is up to 44 democratically elected countries that have condemned his invasion of Ukraine. European peaceful peoples chose their leaders.

This is pure extraction of wealth from one group of people to another We urgently need: Windfall tax on oil giants Windfall tax on banks Both are creaming money off us during a cost of living crisis Even Thatcher had the balls to tax the banks Will you @andyburnham?

I bet Burnham is surrounded by people who say - you can't do that; you can't say that @andyburnham.bsky.social if what he proposes has merits to progressive change he should find people who can agree and formulate strong arguments and convince the naysayers Even the bond markets can be convinced.

new, from Renee DiResta: "How Matt Taibbi was groomed by Mike Benz in a Twitter Space, uncritically ate up a truly wild conspiracy theory, and started touting it in a congressional hearing as if he had evidence of β€œmillions" of censored tweets" Read here: substack.com/home/post/p-...

The state of this. A lovely day out for Badenoch and Philp, playing dress up and making pronouncements about early release schemes - having left the country with one hundred available men's prison places, after fourteen years in charge. You read that right. One hundred places.

Opposition Leader Kemi Badenoch and Shadow Home Office Secretary Chris Philp, in high-vis police jackets enjoy a photo opportunity.

I particularly liked this one: "Oh, Christ. A war reference. Just a reminder that it wasn’t just the French that ran away. The Brits did too. You might remember, it was quite famous. Thousands of Brits retreated on small boats. Rather apt reference, as it happens. β€” Tony (@TonyB_1997)"

πŸ—‘οΈ THE BINIFESTO β€” WHY A BIN IS RUNNING CLACTON. Because the serious ones weren't. They parachute in, promise the pier, vanish by teatime. I'll stay. Flood defences that hold. A Jaywick that isn't just a headline. I'm a joke with a manifesto. They're a manifesto that became a joke.

What the hell is the BBC 6pm news doing leading with Farage's clickbait about using the Royal Navy to stop immigrants? An absurd soundbite from a tiny party with a disgraced leader and that's the most important news in the UK today? Dear God. The rot has truly gone deep.
