The climate crisis is real. We should be pushing for renewables. Instead, the world's largest banks have committed nearly $1 trillion to the fossil fuel industry. Our country, our way of life, the very planet we call home, is being held to ransom by bankers. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“Reform has the most extreme policy on energy and climate the UK has seen since modern science on the subject began. The party opposes solar; it opposes wind; it opposes batteries… Once again: Reform is largely funded by fossil fuels” Private Eye on the anti-thought, pro-corruption threat of Reform

MELTING TICE RICHARD TICE, Reform UK's deputy leader and spokesman on energy and climate, made an extraordinary appearance on Bloomberg's Zero podcast last week. A few things soon became clear: firstly, he hasn't read the science. Tice claims the UK. is "almost unilaterally" beggaring itself by choosing low-carbon power (tell that to China, building hundreds of gigawatts of solar and wind each year). He hasn't read the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) summary for policymakers. He says "thousands" of scientists disagree with accepted climate science but wouldn't - couldn't? - name any scientists who'd advised him. He thinks net zero will bankrupt Britain (jobs in clean energy are growing faster than much of the rest of the economy). He threatened to walk out twice - once when presented with the IPCC's summary. When asked about batteries, which store solar and wind power safely and cheaply until the evening peak, he said: "We don't need batteries. It's ridiculous." Reform UK has the most extreme policy on energy and climate the UK has seen since modern science on the subject began. The party opposes solar; it opposes wind; it opposes batteries, for God's sake. Its policy is "drill, drill, frack Lincolnshire". Once again: Reform is largely funded by fossil fuels. The main defence Tice wielded was that the IPC recently abandoned its always implausible "RCP8.5" scenario - the worst-case, which predicted coal use doubling or tripling this century. İronically, Tice himself is the British politician who would do more than anything else to bring about that polluted world. 'Young Windy'

Don't get caught up in the noise or the Reform spin. Sure, they win 1,800, 1,900+ more councillors. But wait for everything to be in and a national projection. They go backwards on their 30% share last year, they're fading like the polls say.

Vote Reform. Or we will house *dangerous migrant centres* in your village. And if you vote Green, it will be even worse for you. It's beyond disturbing. The chill wind of threat, thuggery and menace of a kind never before seen in Britain.

Today we announce a new policy: In order to deport all illegal migrants in Britain, Reform will need to detain tens of thousands at a time. Migrants will not be able to leave these detention centres, and each will be held there a couple of weeks before being deported. So here's our promise: A Reform government will not put any migrant detention facilities in any constituency with a Reform MP. Nor will we put them where Reform controls the council. And of the remaining areas, we will prioritise Green controlled parliamentary constituencies and Green controlled councils to locate the detention centres. Put simply, if you vote in a Reform council or Reform MP, we guarantee yPut simply, if you vote in a Reform council or Reform MP, we guarantee you won't have a detention centre near you If you vote Green, there's a good chance you will, This is an important exercise in democratic consent, not just for our mass deportation policy, but for where the detention centres are placed Given @ZackPolanski openly advocates for open borders, I look forward to their warm embrace of this policy

"Palantir is not just a problem of profiteering from our national healthcare system— it's a fundamental threat to the democratic control of our public infrastructure + the privacy of every citizen. By giving our taxes to this company, we are aiding their operations everywhere." tinyurl.com/3ejuyv89

We can’t trust Palantir with our NHS data

Is this really the company we should be entrusting with our health service’s digital architecture?

Dear Media: Blindly quoting the President without fact-checking or context is just misinformation with a press pass. We don’t need stenographers; we need journalists. Do your job.

Tesla. Disney. CVS Health. United Airlines. PayPal. Billions in profits. $0 in federal corporate income taxes. That money should be funding schools, healthcare, and public services. This is why people are mad as hell.

9th anniversary of the Grenfell fire is approaching. 72 people died, thousands more scarred. Main causes remain unaddressed. Lust for higher profits Unaccountable corporate power Performance related executive pay Failure of regulators Indifference of govts to the cry of the people Nothing changed.

Successive governments have failed to learn lessons of Grenfell Tragedy

The conditions that facilitated the tragedy remain unchecked
