Reaching net zero by 2050 ‘cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’ Climate change committee finds move to renewable energy would also bring health, economic and security benefits

Achieving the UK’s net zero target by 2050 will cost less than a *single* oil price shock

& will insulate UK against future shocks

Meanwhile Reform UK & Tories want to scrap net zero targets on the grounds of 'cost' - so either foolish or doing donors' bidding

The Guardian view on the Iran crisis exposing Britain’s energy vulnerability: clean power offers protection | Editorial Editorial: The war reveals Britain’s exposure to volatile fossil fuel prices. More North Sea drilling will not shield households, building domestic green energy will

"More North Sea drilling will not shield households, building domestic green energy will

"More drilling will mainly boost oil company profits

"Once built, sunlight or wind is free. Prices are stable. Green power is an insurance policy against geopolitical risk"

Alexander Butterfield, former top Nixon White House aide whose testimony transformed Watergate investigation, dies | CNN Politics Alexander Butterfield, a former top aide to President Richard Nixon whose disclosure of a secret taping system in the White House dramatically shaped the Watergate scandal, ultimately leading to Nixon...

Like the conspiracies we found in the #EpsteinFiles, Watergate began as a 'conspiracy theory' but ended up as conspiracy fact

Thanks for Alexander Butterfield for making that happen

Other whistle-blowers are always welcome to show the same courage

Iran does not have Tomahawk missiles

Trump lied about this to avoid taking responsibility for killing children at school

Lies like this demean his office and undermine democracy

Keir Starmer and David Lammy are taking an extraordinarily dangerous gamble with our individual liberty This week, MPs will vote on the second reading of the Courts and Tribunals Bill. Don’t let the anodyne name fool you – this is one of the most revolutionary pieces of legislation in our…

Labour's core voters, on which its re-election entirely depends, are crystal clear about this: they absolutely hate its illiberal, intolerant, draconian, rightwards turn. Hence the total collapse in support. So how does the government respond? #SuicideMission🤦‍♂️

Hi @cmmonwealth.bsky.social

Why isn't Eleanor Shearer on Bluesky?

I wanted to congratulate her on her excellent contributions to Any Questions

Why is it that most politicians switch off their bullshit detector when discussing AI?

It’s time to end Britain’s first-past-the-post election lottery The Gorton and Denton by-election confirmed just how capricious our electoral system has become

💥 Professor Vernon Bogdanor writes for @financialtimes.com:

"An electoral system should do two things: ensure that the majority rules and that significant minorities are adequately represented.

First Past the Post achieves neither."

The rest of the world looked on in horror and disgust at what Israel did to Gaza

But Trump looked at it and thought 'I want a piece of that'

How else do we explain the triumphalist infliction of death and destruction on Iran?

Relentless sun and ruthless populists: how the climate crisis will change the next 20 years Former diplomat Arthur Snell says a heating planet is accelerating conflict and migration – and fostering a new age of empire. Democracies are dangerously unprepared, he warns

When will [X climate impact] reach a tipping point? “We can say 20 to 30 years. It’s enough time that any normal politician can think: ‘Not my problem,’ but it’s not enough time for someone who’s aged any less than 60 to ignore it.”

Inequality in Britain is rampant, writes @pollytoynbee.bsky.social, and has become so with the help of our electoral system.

Our new research paper, 'Lifting the Lid', links our fragmenting voting system to mass regional deprivation, and regional deprivation to the all-powerful nature of FPTP.

Over 40% of global shipping by volume exists to move fossil fuels from one place to another.

A huge share of the world's maritime infrastructure has been built around a system that is going to change dramatically as renewable energy and electrification displace fossil fuels.

Quit ChatGPT: right now! Your subscription is bankrolling authoritarianism | Rutger Bregman As a historian, I’ve studied the major consumer boycotts of history. We can take down ChatGPT and send a powerful signal to Silicon Valley, says author and historian Rutger Bregman

Quit ChatGPT now! Your subs is bankrolling authoritarianism!

'great boycotts of history did not succeed because millions of people suddenly became heroic activists. They succeeded because . . . the small act, repeated at scale, becomes a political earthquake.'

Global economy must stop pandering to ‘frivolous desires of ultra-rich’, says UN expert Olivier De Schutter says new economic agenda needed to tackle crises of rising inequality and ecological collapse

Global economy must not pander to “frivolous and destructive demands of the ultra-rich”.

They fund political parties, profit from socially and ecologically destructive growth.

UK example - deregulation, regressive taxation, concentration of wealth, inequalities, sewage in rivers.
