Holiday in the climate emergency. No that’s not AI or edited, just a snapshot I just took with my phone on Lacanau beach in France. What future will this boy grow up in? It is in our hands, but time is running out.

Just been sent this on Twitter. Had to share here. Bloody brilliant.
@octopus.energy is there any way you could design some pipework so the cold air given off by the Cosy in the summer when it’s heating my water is funnelled into my home to cool it down? It seems such a waste of cool air. Otherwise the solar/ battery/ heat pump combo is perfect.
In case you missed it, here's Count Binface's appearance on the BBC this morning.
Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey has unveiled a billboard campaign across the UK to mark the 10th anniversary of the Brexit referendum today. The billboards call out Reform leader Nigel Farage’s £5 million "reward for campaigning for Brexit, whilst people across the country feel the pinch."
I must say I’m not terribly keen on this whole Brexit nonsense.

I would truly be surprised if I learned that Trump, his family or any of his crime syndicate were making tons of money out of this war. I’d be shocked I tell you, you could knock me down with a feather etc.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 3mo agoThe cost of the war in Iran has hit nearly $1 billion a day as the U.S. has blown through weapons. Our national security correspondent Eric Schmitt explains what to know. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/23/u...
Next up, Melania denies she was ever friends with Trump and only met him at professional events...
So, now that the former Prince Andrew has been arrested, I assume Trump will need a massive distraction to try and drown out calls for him to release the rest of the Epstein files (coincidentally those files that mention Trump).
NEW: What’s happening in the US is TECHNOFASCISM. It’s fascism + surveillance technologies. Palantir is playing a central role. And the UK is next in line. My latest for @thenerve.news 1/ www.thenerve.news/p/technofasc...

President Zelensky said Putin publicly lied by claiming Russian forces had already captured Kupiansk — so he went there himself to show the world the truth. Looking at Russia’s history since 1991, one thing stands out: governments have changed, wealth has risen and fallen,👇
Good. We cannot allow hostile states to meddle in our democracy. We need a ban on cryptocurrency donations, and independence restored to the Electoral Commission. But we also know that Reform has a Russia problem, and it's time we got to the bottom of it. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...
