While I share your disappointment with UvdL, your comment about her being German implies we’re all mass murderers. I’d expect a bit more nuance.

This from a #Labour government 🤬
A kick in the teeth to anyone settled in the UK.
The speed at which Labour erode rights of settled persons is worrying for anyone not yet in possession of a UK passport.

These changes are gigantic - but they will be controversial

Fliegen wird billiger, Zugfahrten teurer.
Das entscheidet die Regierung zum Start der 30. Klimakonferenz.
Und dann wundert man sich, dass die Leute wenig Vertrauen in die Politik haben.

Excellent piece highlighting the impending need to relocate towns due to ever increasing threat of flooding.
Also explains how local economies of flood prone areas will implode due to uninsurability of businesses.

Insgesamt nicht unverdient, aber trotzdem auch glücklicher #Heimsieg.

Hauptsache 3 Punkte und tolles Comeback von #Werder

It's a carbon monoxide degrading bacterium isolated from holly which only has the putative 'form 2' CO dehydrogenase.

Hello @mattwestern.bsky.social, please attend the briefing on climate change and national security.
In 2021, the Gov warned we “could lose control of our climate for good” beyond 1.5°C.
Now, the CCC says “prepare for 2°C by 2050”
This huge shift in just 4 years calls for a new plan.
MPs can only make sound decisions to protect us if they’re briefed.
Is your MP attending?

Are you taking the train to Brasil? asks Laura #Kuenssberg demonstrating her dismissal of the sustainability agenda.
That, and her peddling of the green levies for net zero making energy more expensive narrative are examples of the damaging misinformation propagated by the #BBC.
