As long since observed, if corporations were human, we could rightfully regard them as dangerous psychopaths.

Stop expecting these entities to do the right thing. We either regulate them better or they behave like this.

Not sure about these "what will happen if my dad takes up Thai Chi tomorrow" adverts on YouTube. Considering he died a few years ago, I would be astonished.

If only the Labour Party in England would understand this.

X is a cesspit led by an unhinged billionaire who is desperately trying to stir up civil war in Britain.

Nobody with any sense or decency should be there.

No organisations, government departments, or politicians should be there.

Everyone who is, is enabling this monster.

Private Wire ≠ Green Power - My blog Hydrogen projects at HyMarnham and Margam use private wires from biomass plants to claim green credentials — but diverting existing generation from the grid doesn’t make hydrogen clean. A look at the ...

Private Wire ≠ Green Power ⚡
Hydrogen from a biomass plant via a private wire might look “green” on paper — but it just diverts power from the grid, which is then backfilled by gas. Clean accounting, not clean energy.

Well done, but I do wonder why. Having run Ubuntu for 20 years I try and avoid MS OS.

Ministers confirm plans to reduce London’s affordable housing quotas Developers will qualify for fast-track planning status if they include 20% affordable housing instead of current 35% target

Govt reduces London’s affordable housing quotas.

Developers to get subsidies if they include 20% affordable housing instead of current 35% target.

Bigger profits for developers.
Yielding to developers won't solve homelessness and poverty crisis.

Let councils build affordable homes.

Voting for other parties than Labour does NOT let Reform in.

Voting for other parties than Labour means other parties can win.

Left wing Parties such as this winning against the far right is possible as this proves.

Caerphilly by-election won by Plaid Cymru as Labour loses seat for first time Plaid Cymru had been battling it out with Reform UK to represent Caerphilly in the Welsh Parliament.

Interesting framing by BBC News, the odds on favourite #ReformUK lost. Hopefully a sign of things to come. - www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cl...
Caerphilly by-election won by Plaid Cymru Well done. 💚

Don’t give an inch, don’t show weakness, stand your ground.

"We intend to replace Labour at the ballot box."

@zackpolanski.bsky.social speaks to Sky News following the defection of three former Labour councillors to the Green Party in Swindon.

Great news on both counts 💚

Ignore all laws about altering historic properties ✅
Pave over Rose Garden for tacky Mar-A-Lardo Patio ✅
Demolish East Wing after lying that "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it" ✅
Build gaudy $250M Ballroom as public struggles financially ✅

Why more parents are riding cargo bikes, skipping the minivan Many parents are now are forgoing minivans for greener alternatives: cargo bikes. They have been around for decades, but the advent of the electric bike motor has made them much more popular.

This is a fantastic article about how cargo bikes are proving to be a gamechanger for parents wanting to reduce their car usage.

Amazing story in The Times. Reform UK failed to pay VAT to HMRC on its sales (tickets, merchandise). About £400k in all.

Not tax avoidance. Not tax evasion. They just didn't realise when you sell stuff you have to charge VAT.

Jeremy Clarkson annihilates Zack Polanski about his teeth on gb news.

This is what GB News considers news.

Actual news: @greenparty.org.uk announced we have more members than the Conservatives, double the Lib Dems, making us the third largest party in Britain.

Now I wonder why GB News wouldn't want to report on that?

From Coal to Hydrogen: Notes from the East Midlands Hydrogen Summit 2025 From Coal to Hydrogen: Notes from the East Midlands Hydrogen Summit 2025 | Jelfs - My blog On site at High Marnham: electrolysers, compressors and hype vs. reality. What the East Midlands Hydrogen Summit revealed about pipelines, policy and efficiency.

Visited the East Midlands #Hydrogen Summit @ High Marnham, once a coal station, now electrolysers fed by a biomass CHP. Impressive engineering but familiar contradictions. Hydrogen’s moving from hype 2 infrastructure, yet efficiency doubts remain.
