I hunted for an explanation of the UK debt after Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social remarked in an interview that the debt crisis is not quite what it's made out to be. I found this document from @debtjustice.bsky.social.

Maybe you know all this, but I didn't.

Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract.

The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers can’t make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.

Greens who want to save the world by destroying Britain.

My secret evil plot to ‘destroy Britain’ has been unveiled by (checks notes) the same paper that endorsed Liz Truss.

If I don’t know better I’d say we’ve got them entirely rattled.

'A fresh start': John Swinney to unveil new Scottish independence plans

John Swinney has unveiled a new paper on Scottish independence which claims households would be more than £10,000 better off per year if the country was independent

⚡ Every year, we generate enough cheap renewable energy to cover Scotland’s needs. Yet our bills are sky high!

Poor old Kemi has a problem. She doesn’t want arts subjects learned, because then people would understand how she’s talking bollocks. She doesn’t want sciences or mathematics studied, because then people would understand she’s talking bollocks. She doesn’t want law studied… 1/2

Excellent letter from the Bishop of Birmingham to Robert Jenrick.

At a time when so many other voices have been silent, the bishops have been admirably outspoken against attempts to stir up division.

The churches do a lot of community cohesion work & do not want to see this trashed for party gain.

Just to be clear, an English degree - learning to critically assess texts - is actually one of the most dangerous for people such as Badenoch.

An educated population, able to bring hundreds of years of context to statements in a dawning age of AI slop and attention-seeking dishonesty is also vital.

Carbon offsets fail to cut global heating due to ‘intractable’ systemic problems, study says Analysis of 25 years of evidence shows most schemes are poor quality and fail to lower emissions

Reminder - carbon offsetting is a con. We have to BOTH stop burning fossil fuels and look after nature

News headline from independent. Black background with white text “gender critical activists accused of ‘hateful’ remarks after suggesting trans rights supporters have ‘broken brains’ Labour MP said was appalled but not surprised. Red text Millie Cooke political correspondent in Manchester Coloured circles with links to social media

Appalling transphobia and hateful gender critical ideology on open display at Conservative Party conference.

Glad to see it challenged by the lone voice of my London Assembly colleague @andrewboff.bsky.social who is a reliable trans ally, in the audience in a trans rights are human rights T shirt.

The Greens stand *for* the policies the majority need.

The rest stand *against* things that don't even affect us.

Hope inspires action.

Fear causes apathy.

I like Zack Polanski for the same reason I like Zohran Mamdani.

He’s happy to stand for something.

And in a world of pandering focus grouped bullshit politics, it’s really kind of refreshing.
