The modern Conservative Party, where Net Zero gets you out and Neo Nazism gets you in

Reminds me of that saying about "if you have one nazi sitting at a table"...

NEW Stewart Lee column ‘Jokes’ like the one Zack Polanski shared on social media only help Farage deflect scrutiny www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

Nigel Farage (2016), "It's legitimate to say.. If people feel that voting doesn't change anything" "Then violence is the next step"

For years, Telegraph columnists told us climate breakdown is a hoax. Now they say: it's real, but it's too late to do anything about it, so let the bodies pile high (again). Just one long list of excuses not to reduce fossil fuel use. Such newspapers bear as much responsibility as the oil firms.

Deeply irresponsible. We're in a climate crisis. This is such a terrible start. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Burnham to announce plans for new North Sea oil and gas drilling

Drilling has become a controversial topic for the Labour party after the 2024 manifesto pledged to not issue new licences.

It’s getting irritating seeing Reform politicians accusing others of ‘incitement’ The same guys who call others traitors, who say ‘a reckoning is coming’ and call for ‘pure, cold, rage’ Oh and they invited a woman who called for asylum seeker hotels to be burnt down to speak at their conference

Hey, so, I was so angry today that, for once, I blogged it instead of posting about it. Games media, especially mainstream games media, cannot keep abdicating responsibility in how it talks about these things an-evening-at-the-inn.ghost.io/video-game-s...

Video Game Studios Aren't Monoliths

I'm just going to come right out and say it this time - treating video game studios like some kind of fantasy football draft, in the wake of mass layoffs no less, is sickening. The last three years, ...

Remember when the line for these racists was ‘it’s fine if people come here as long as they assimilate and contribute’ Well I don’t think you can assimilate much more than becoming Lord Mayor Turns out they didn’t ever mean that - they are just racist

Matt Godwin is a failure who needs to leave my city the fuck alone. Failed candidate. Failed academic. Failed commentator. Failed intellectual. A massive ego wrapped around a shrivelled and scared intellect, poisoned by bile and subconcious awareness of his own inadequacy.

Blatant lobbying, not for the sake of our country, but for the fossil fuel industry, in which almost all the ultrarich - including, in all likelihood, the proprietors of these newspapers - are heavily invested. These people are not and never will be your friends. www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-...

Analysis: UK newspapers have already printed 63 editorials in 2026 backing North Sea drilling  - Carbon Brief

I’m not a doomer but it feels like we’re pretty far to the right side already.

For three days in a row the heat record for June has been broken in the UK. The same story right across Europe. Any attempts at this key moment to slow climate action is utterly indefensible. We need day one action to accelerate our climate ambition from Andy Burnham.

Record-breaking heat on Saturday (and Sunday) in #Germany, too! June records are being shattered in many places, and even the all-time record is in jeopardy. #heat #heatwave #records

"The data proves that there is no such thing as anti-white 'two-tier' policing in Britain. If 'two-tier' policing is a thing, a quarter-century of research shows that black and brown communities are overwhelmingly on the receiving end of it." ✍️ @nafeez.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2026/06/09/h...

In an era of multiparty politics - first past the post is utterly broken. It is time for Proportional Representation. The climate crisis & our inequality crisis cannot wait for another general election. Failing to fix our democracy immediately will betray future generations.

Time for a bit of reality - a thread. Sales in the shop are doing well, but we're reliant on sales on the website to help pay the bills. The website is reliant on social media, particularly twitter. Since September, we've seen a big decline in people seeing our tweets.
