(VERY) Part time musician/composer. Left wing but not utopian, democratic (not the party, the ideal) and that in itself has left wing implications.

China has gone from 52% plug in EV sales in the summer to 59% in October. Thatโ€™s the very steep part of the diffusion S curve right there. Also, the NEV requirement in 2025 is 48% - they are ahead of their target.

Michael Gove Made Orwell Prize Judge Despite Record of Attacking Journalists and Dodging Scrutiny Critics say "Orwell would have enjoyed the irony" of the former Conservative minister's appointment

Iโ€™m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leaveโ€™s unlawful activities.

Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. Heโ€™s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise

Activate climateโ€™s โ€˜silent majorityโ€™ to supercharge action, experts say Making concerned people aware their views are far from alone could unlock the change so urgently needed

A huge 89% majority of global people [56% even in the United States] want stronger action to fight the #ClimateCrisis, but mistakenly believe theyโ€™re in a minority.

People want action. Smart cities are taking action. Nations should support city action.

Opinion | Ukraine needs Russiaโ€™s frozen $200 billion immediately, Europe With Trump seeking Kyivโ€™s capitulation to Russia, now is the moment for decisive European action.

This isnโ€™t a โ€œpeace plan.โ€ Itโ€™s a blueprint for Ukraineโ€™s capitulation. If implemented, it would turn this pro-Western, democratic nation, which has been courageously resisting Russian aggression since 2014, into a Kremlin colony. wapo.st/3XcRot6

Putinโ€™s Plot Against โ€˜Greatโ€™ Britain โ€“ And How He Got Away With It Peter Jukes tracks Vladimir Putinโ€™s long war against the West and the allies he has found in the pro-Brexit establishment in the plot to derail Britain

As Trump and Putin work to crush Ukraine and destabilise Europe and Farageโ€™s ally gets sentenced to 10yrs for taking Russian bribes, itโ€™s a good time to revisit this excellent report on how the British rightwing has betrayed us all.
Brexit was their weapon of choice.

Twenty people allege he has a racist past. He denies it. Whoโ€™s telling the truth about Farageโ€™s schooldays? Reform UKโ€™s leader refuses to answer questions about his abusive behaviour, claiming thereโ€™s โ€˜no evidenceโ€™. We talk to victims and witnesses

I mean it's not complicated. Twenty people who were there have confirmed that Nigel Farage said all of these things.

He's the only one denying it, which means just one thing. He is a liar

The report said the increase in green party support suggested for a significant minority of Jews, domestic priorities and progressive values outweigh foreign policy concerns.

The report said the increase in green party support suggested for a significant minority of Jews, domestic priorities and progressive values outweigh foreign policy concerns.

The Guardian are reporting a significant increase in Jewish people voting for the Green Party.

It's almost like many of us grew up learning a history of persecution & violence.

We don't oppose the Genocide in spite of being Jewish but because of it.

Never again for everyone.
