"Centrists" need to call Mamdani a "radical leftist" so they can say Trump/Farage fascism is just the opposing side of an equally matched "both sides" conflict

BBC Radio 4 this morning joined Trump in describing Zohran Mamdani as a "radical leftist".

I spent a really long time amassing everything you need to know about Labour's vast deals with fossil gas-loving, Trump-donating AI giants out to pepper the world with climate-wrecking data centres...so you don't have to!

My reporting for @desmog.com 📖👇

In case you're worried the Mediterranean will empty out or get as salty as the Dead Sea, fear not! The Straits of Gibraltar let in just enough Atlantic water to keep it at the same level as the ocean

Do read Czerski's book on the world ocean as a physics-based machine. It's mind-bendingly great.

To defeat Donald Trump, first you must defeat Chuck @schumer.senate.gov. Hopefully that’s what Zohran Mamdani has just done…

So excited, I have to share some work of ours @connectedbydata.org (well, mostly @timdavies.org.uk's) that has just gone live.

We've developed a "Workshop in a Box" for teachers to use to get student feedback into the AI in Education Summit early next year.

Englishness was rolled into the UK/british thing Elena. That's why it's called the "british empire" not the "english empire".

@fotoole.bsky.social is well worth a follow on this. He spotted the english withdrawing from the british/UK thing in the 2011 UK census.

I don't see a 'Russian' solution happening (England leaving UK).

The English nationalism is defined by its self-image as the Empire: England on top, with a multitude of nations under benevolent - but absolute - English rule...
