The critical crossover.

From 10% to 30% in just a decade.
In 2025 wind & solar generated more electricity in the EU than fossil fuels.

Once a new technology overtakes the incumbent, the direction of travel becomes obvious.
Cost curves + deployment = disruption. ⚑ #Bettrification

Somehow the U.K. Gov thinks Palantir software is OK to use in Defence, police and the NHS.

Anti-trans hate group advertises globally to get 70 β€œdetransitioners” together for a propaganda photo.

It fails to do so and only gets 42.

Meanwhile effortlessly 100,000 people attended Trans Pride London last July and 10,000 were at TransMission in Wembley Arena this week.

β€œThe United States wants to divide Europe.”

EU top diplomat Kaja Kallas makes harsh accusations against Washington in an interview: The US was actively working on the decomposition of the EU. And their methods are those of real opponents.

This made me cry with despairing laughter. We’re on the brink of worldwide recession and devastating conflict and this is the priority? It’s as if an entire political class has just given up. The government barely any better.

I am not seeing a powerful America, but an America whose power is draining away, and is acting out the crisis of decline.

The measure of winning and losing a war is not who kills more or who destroys more.

We should be honoured to host, teach and learn from these people not exclude them. I'm ashamed of our government.

Checking in on Elbridge Colby who assured me the threat to Taiwan was so accute the US couldn't spare any weapons for Ukraine as his administration burns through a decade of missile production in a week to make snuff propoganda films.

Can we just, once again, note that the British government should absolutely not be inviting this firm into our democracy?

Exactly this.

Ive been disgusted by the reality of contemporary 'journalism', they have no morals, no ethics, no accountability and now work on behalf of the corrupt billionaires and politicians

β€œShe’s the exception, I am the rule.”

Such articulate cutting through of the nonsense around puberty blockers and eg Keira Bell’s detransitioning from Stephanie Lynnette on GMB this morning. It is also a refreshing relief to see a trans person actually being allowed to speak for once!

So to summarise: You failed to take out the regime. You failed to destroy nuclear material. You failed to eradicate Iran's retaliatory capacity. You brought chaos to the Middle East. You killed god knows how many people. You destabilised your own economy. All for nothing, but the ego of madman.

Hereditary peers to be removed from Lords as bill passes The bill abolishes the 92 seats reserved for peers who inherit their titles through their families.

The move to remove hereditary peers is welcome. The next step should be to remove the Lords Spiritual. There should be no reserved seats in Parliament for any one religion. It’s time to remove bishops from the House of Lords.

This is so true. It’s also beyond enraging that a bloc with *more power* than fossil fuels does exist and could be mobilised. The companies that have to deal with climate impacts and volatile fossil fuel prices far outnumber the fossil fuel majors, they have just never lobbied as effectively.

How democratic is the UK? The UK has a crisis of democracy

UK democracy in action.

Thousands of unpaid carers prosecuted for inadvertently breaching benefit rules.

No Post Office exec prosecuted for false prosecutions of postmasters.

In 2017, 72 people died in Grenfell fire. Execs β€œdeliberately concealed” the fire risks of cladding. No one prosecuted.

The Tories oversaw the degradation of UK gas storage capacity - 2010 to 2017.

Thatcher privatised the gas and oil industry - 1982 to 1986.

Thatcher closed the collieries - 1986 to 1991.

This woman is an idiot - 1960 to 2026

If only we had clean, renewable energy and were not beholden to a dirty, expensive, dangerous commodity that pollutes our environment and is the source of most of our geopolitical woes.
