Achieving the UK’s net zero target by 2050 will cost less than a *single* oil price shock

Labour's core voters, on which its re-election entirely depends, are crystal clear about this: they absolutely hate its illiberal, intolerant, draconian, rightwards turn. Hence the total collapse in support. So how does the government respond? #SuicideMission🤦♂️

Hi @cmmonwealth.bsky.social
Why isn't Eleanor Shearer on Bluesky?
I wanted to congratulate her on her excellent contributions to Any Questions
Why is it that most politicians switch off their bullshit detector when discussing AI?
💥 Professor Vernon Bogdanor writes for @financialtimes.com:
"An electoral system should do two things: ensure that the majority rules and that significant minorities are adequately represented.
First Past the Post achieves neither."

Yes, more like a crow. So are skylarks around and about at this time of year?
Oh I did hear some bird calls like that but I thought they were skylarks. Is it a similar kind of call?

The rest of the world looked on in horror and disgust at what Israel did to Gaza
But Trump looked at it and thought 'I want a piece of that'

When will [X climate impact] reach a tipping point? “We can say 20 to 30 years. It’s enough time that any normal politician can think: ‘Not my problem,’ but it’s not enough time for someone who’s aged any less than 60 to ignore it.”

Global economy must not pander to “frivolous and destructive demands of the ultra-rich”.
They fund political parties, profit from socially and ecologically destructive growth.
