Beware, Britain! Whether Trump's administration succeeds or fails, its evangelists will turn their sights on Britain and Europe.

I agree Britain's in great danger, as I wrote 2 weeks ago.

We need a govenment ready to fight climate change & loss of democracy, & to supply of the needs of the people - a reduction in the cost of living & a good safety net. A very tough balancing act.

Billionaires or their ancestors get rich either by overcharging consumers or speculating in things that people need, raising their cost. This leaves people too poor to directly support those who deserve it. But it is the people's money supporting the military.

Such a simple dance and he can't get it right.

but... but... but... there are deals to be made, bribes to be taken!

Interesting theory, but surely they have better places to go, these days.

The Trump Action Tracker has an update!

I tweet: "people who see 50% of their monthly paycheck go to rent don't care if a candidate eats with their hands. they want to hear what your candidate is going to do about housing." John Galt 2025 replies: "Move if the cost of living is too high."

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

An E.P.A. Plan to Kill a Major Climate Rule Is Worrying Business Leaders

Even THEY think it's insane.

‘Enforced veganism’: Ofcom lets GB News flout accuracy rules, say climate campaigners Exclusive: Regulator has received 1,221 complaints about UK broadcasters since 2020 but found no breaches of its code

“The problem is that Ofcom is now allowing some TV and radio stations to flout the rules and on an issue like climate change the stakes could not be higher.”

A reminder that this is the same Rishi Sunak who when he was Prime Minister raised taxes to their highest level in more than 70 years

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

New report confirms local government crisis is growing The Institute for Government’ annual review of the state of local government, published last week, paints an alarming picture

Local government isn’t “boring bureaucracy.” It’s social care, housing, libraries, leisure centres, youth clubs.

When these vanish, communities fracture – and people notice. When local government breaks, so does trust in politics itself.

Americans are dying from extreme heat. Autopsy reports don’t show the full story Official reports are likely to overlook heat’s role in a death. As US temperatures rise, experts say the true toll needs to be counted

One of the many things @ninalakhani.bsky.social does so well is show the very real, very now cost of climate change at the most human level. This story is devastatingly good: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Big turnout at the Exeter is For Everyone rally today that was held to oppose the far-right march through the town centre. Music, singing, chanting and a whole lot of love for diversity.

Alas, every generation needs to learn how to push back against racism and fascism. But in doing that we can also learn how we are better together. Today's Exeter is for Everyone rally 1/2 exeterisforeveryone.com

Everyone should turn up in baby Trump suits. Attack the wearer and you attack Trump.

Party Pooper President A Party Pooper is someone who throws gloom over social enjoyment.

He's pooping on the traditional values that America has held since way back to the Boston Tea Party. suenethercott.substack.com/p/party-poop...

‘Enforced veganism’: Ofcom lets GB News flout accuracy rules, say climate campaigners Exclusive: Regulator has received 1,221 complaints about UK broadcasters since 2020 but found no breaches of its code

Just when honest and truthful reporting on climate change is most urgently needed, Ofcom under its current chair has effectively suspended its accuracy rules on this life-and-death issue. /1

New model helps supermarkets keep shelves stocked during crises - and go greener Supermarket shoppers across the UK are all too familiar with empty shelves when disruption strikes. Whether it was the panic buying of COVID-19, floods affecting deliveries or strikes in distribution centres, the fragility of supply chains has affected most of us in recent years. In response to this, a team of researchers has developed a new way...

And the media love a close horse race.

Some people think too much money is going into CO₂ removal (CDR) and more should be spent on decarbonization instead. The reality is that annual investment in CDR (~$190 million) is dwarfed by investment in renewables (~$2.1 trillion). That's over one million percent more for decarbonization.
