Nah. All climate change denialism ultimately comes from the fossil-fuel industry, amplified by their network of RW influencers and politicians.

Believers come from all age groups. There’s a lot of overlap with RW parties, e.g Reform LTD - political affiliation much more of a key indicator than age

RW Tories doing all they can to usher in a far-right government. 🙄

The right will always trend to the far-right. Look how far the Tories moved the Overton window during their 14 year reign of misery and decay. It’s almost as if they wanted to drive the electorate into the arms of the far-right

Here it is! 💥💥💥
The start of the Tory-Reform election pact. Arch-Brexiter Rees-Mogg is telling Tories in the Caerphilly by-election to vote RefUK. With Plaid Cymru leading in the progressive camp, the other anti-fascist parties have to get behind Plaid!

Can’t we just borrow more? Climate change is going to crash the global economy in a couple of decades anyway so 🤷🏻‍♂️

Nearly 30% of your Energy bill is profit, and that's just for the big companies.

If Energy was nationalised bills could be nearly halved overnight, the infrastructure is only worth £109.5bn.

Time for a compulsory purchase order.

Unexplained wealth & Farage 👇 Avoidance of stamp duty & HMRC? No reporting of supplementary income to Parliament? Russia & petrodollars links & Reform?

Nope nothing except @Bylines.bsky.social.

That £900k house in Frinton. Has anyone mentioned how it was paid for yet? Any laws broken, or all above board?

Anyone investigating? Media grown a conscience? Any journalist working for the British people? Anyone?

Half way through another week of silence then.

IMHO, as much as I disliked her, I think she would’ve been reviled by Farage’s fascist tendencies and connections to Russia. She’d have dealt with him much more swiftly than Starmer seems able to

Mark Thatcher is a convicted criminal who took huge bungs from the Saudis to grease the wheels of arms deals & tried to arrange a mercenary coup in Equatorial Guinea aimed at seizing control of its oil resources. So yes, of course he likes Farage & Reform.

This is what Farage and reform will bring to the UK given the chance

Banks make $26bn in a decade of financing deforesting companies.

Destruction of the world’s forests reached the highest level - agricultural expansion, mining, infrastructure, logging.

Profits before climate change, human lives and the planet.

The cult of deregulation will make matters worse.

The Bank of England admits that Brexit is eating away at Britain’s economic foundations like termites.

Catherine Mann says Brexit reduced our growth potential, raised inflation risk and eroded sterling’s global standing.

UK faces highest inflation in G7 this year and next, IMF warns.

Biggest cause is profiteering led by energy, water and food businesses. No govt checks it.

Real average wage stuck at 2008 level. 1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined.

It shows you which fallback position is used by crossing out all the others. When all of them are crossed out, the position defined on the element is the one used.

I think pretty much every single thing the Tories did in their 14 year reign of terror and misery probably needs repairing or replacing tbh 😂

There’s not much to say about the solid wall insulation failures that hasn’t already been said. A diabolical policy failure that wasted money and harmed people.

But one thing I will add is: I think it highlights the need for more state delivery capacity on warm homes, not just regulation

Almost all external insulation fitted under Tory scheme needs repair or replacing, report finds
