Just as soon as the X appears on my profile, I think I've decided to XXXX off from this XXXX-show of a site.

Great piece of investigation into the dirty tricks from oil and gas firms to undermine public trust in heat pumps. See my Twitter feed for an informative anecdote about their antics over the years. They are fighting for survival so perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised
Wow. @MikeFosterEUA, CEO of @energyutilities, has been caught funding the anti-heat-pump PR behind the rash of misinformation stories in the UK press. Did the board of the EUA authorize those campaigns? If so, they all have to go. Shocking revelations.

We need a luxury emissions tax on private jets, super yachts & space tourism.
Private jets cause 10 times more emissions than normal air travel. The top 1% are responsible for double the emissions of the bottom 50%.
The climate crisis is a symptom of billionaire greed.

The government and the Bank of England are again calling today for wage restraint to beat inflation - as if the whole cost of beating inflation must fall on wage-earning households and not the companies and banks that are causing it or the wealthy who are gaining. A thread....

Retweet this if you want Question Time to stop inviting prominent right wing think tank spokespeople (past or present) onto their panels.

The Govt's *own climate advisers* @theCCCuk are crystal clear: if we're going to meet net zero, we can have "no new airport capacity". What word in that line do Ministers not understand? A second runway at #Gatwick simply must not go ahead. #NoNewRunways

At a time when it is vital that people fly less often London’s Gatwick airport submits plans to increase capacity by 60%. Are people really that indifferent to the fate of our life on this planet? ft.com/content/d2660188-5c66…
Absolutely fascinating, and definitely something we should be sharing in our education at all levels.
History is so much more varied and interesting than the stories we've been fed by the 'victors'

I have discovered that there were 37 entries for the song in my queue ... and I suspect my cat (and her earlier keyboard nap) had something to do with this

Rees-Mogg, who introduced cancelling of speakers on government platforms if they’d ever criticised government policy, even irrelevant ones, says #PrivilegesCommittee is undermining freedom of speech and democracy when it nails him for undermining Parliament’s democratic process.
