The public were misled during the 2016 campaign, and recent polling has shown that the majority of Brits want to reverse Brexit. It's time we listen, and rekindle our ties with Europe.

We are proud to unveil the world’s longest underwater timelapse, starting May 1st 2023 and running 1,000 days through January 28, 2026. This 10fps period covers summer 2023’s coral bleaching mortality event, but then recovering and growing through ‘24 & ‘25 into ‘26 #coralcitycamera

Awful of the BBC.
How can they distribute a video that clearly shows that the official US government narrative is a lie without also stating that it's a lie?
There aren't two sides to every story.
Two news angles, yes:
- Reality of what happened.
- Official lying cover-up.
But not two sides.

The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible.
It leads on "sharply contested narratives"
It has a dramatic skew to the US government
It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue

You may’ve seen coverage of a new report on the threat to national security from environmental collapse.
A common response that’s got my goat is: “Look, it’s not just tree-hugging enviros saying this, it’s hard-nosed spooks!”
A short thread on why this framing is bad history & bad politics🧵😡😉

Our democracy shouldn’t be a gamble.
First Past the Post fails 70% of voters. We urgently need to scrap it. I’ve asked my MP to attend a crucial briefing on how to do just that.

Poly Toynbee says what I think. Why can’t those in government, or even the various opposition. If they can,, what is holding them back?
"Discard tax pledges that distort budget priorities. Abandon Brexit red lines, free us to get as close as Europe will agree. Bring in proportional representation immediately to rescue democracy for five-party politics."
No easy answers, but the right priorities👏

This study predicts UK energy spending to halve by 2050, as part of our ‘rush’ to net zero….:) Five years ago I flagged this incredible fact in my book Manifesto - we spend £50 billion a year to bring oil and gas into our country - just to burn it. Good to see it in this study.
