I feel like the government could meaningfully accelerate renewable uptake in a number of ways; for example they could make it easier to build pylons rather than burying electric infrastructure. Like they’ve done fine at permitting within the system, but all that stuff will come online in 2029.
Or 30-50 feral hogs
No sound cloud link?!
@michael-fox.bsky.social has more to say about mine warfare
My updated gun control policy proposal is that no one gets access to guns EXCEPT the “30-50 feral hogs” guy, who will be permitted to own military-grade armaments for use in his new government job as the Official Feral Hog Murderer
Whose take is that?!?! I mean do they understand the things British business is good at?
I do find it frustrating that dunking on Yimbys is trendy when it’s like, we’re trying to build more housing and sometimes falling short because of implacable and totally irrational opposition, and somehow it’s our fault for not doing better.
Is there anyone in the country who uses heating oil who couldn’t have just got a heat pump
It’s Nimbyism with extra steps. @michael-fox.bsky.social recounts how Zack was doing everything he could to stop one of his housing developments
I wonder if Nate Higgins and the Green Party of Newham can point to a single housing development in Newham they’ve actually supported. I bet they can’t!
Like you can’t vote for this, it’s complete nonsense. We’re already building a catastrophically small number of houses in London and now Newham wants to basically make private development impossible. FFS.
“Labours spending plans were the same as the Conservatives” I scream as I’m put against the wall for thought heresy
The year is 2050, we live under Chinese uni party control, the armed socialist resistance of greater Manchester spend their planning meetings bemoaning the Lib Dems not going into coalition with them in 2010
Yo if only there had been a hot war between peer nations the us could have learned from
Is your bank based or cringe?!
Can’t believe Ireland has battery discharge data but UK doesn’t
A lot of the American & Israeli war on Iran has a naval dimension. UK assets, trade, Iranian capability, US operations…
As a former Royal Navy lieutenant who was twice deployed to the Gulf, with some minor experience of Iranian naval forces, I have some thoughts that may be useful for Bluesky 1/?
Something something cards
Horseshoe theory second best, only beaten by “NIMBYs online own their own houses”
Izzy has some fairy wings, so that’s problem solved as far as I can see.
The urge for Zelensky to send Trump some sort of card based meme must be overwhelming
All of the big protests over Israel stopped as soon as Trump got in office and never started again even after he bombed Iran twice in cooperation with them.
This is plainly visible to anyone with fucking eyes but you'll still get yelled at for saying it.
Guys, the Italian unemployment rate has just fallen below the UK's.
Does anyone know why we can’t just give it to America and make it their problem?
The number of commentators/journalists salivating at blaming Starmer for ruining the “special relationship” is genuinely pathetic
If anyone ruined it- if it even really exists- here’s a reminder of who did it.
Uh … based? Based
But I mean they should reopen WFA… probably alongside other cuts to actually give them some fiscal upside for the political pain
Shake the magic eight ball to determine your MP
Put it in all caps and put “thank you for your attention to this matter” at the end and …
… perhaps they didn’t have access to maps of the world when they made the decision
