Has anyone else been dealing with some serious headline whiplash recently?

Even for those of us who follow #climate and #energy matters closely, it can be hard to know what the hell is going on!

So here's a thread to help climate communicators get a grip on how to deal with this ๐Ÿงต

This is grim & dangerous over reach.

This is a government that have lost the moral argument & are still selling arms to Israel. Now further cracking down on dissent.

Absolutely the opposite of what they should be doing - so of course this is what the Labour Government choose.

Labour very much "playing both sides" with announcements today. Absolutely right to condemn Farage's racist policies, but that condemnation loses efficacy when on the very same day you announce your own, objectively, racist policy. It might not go as far as Reform, but it is still racism as policy.

We've had a ridiculous amount of emails and messages asking for this and it has to be said: you were right.

This is almost definitely the best episode of any politics podcast ever.

And it's the longest episode we've done too, obviously. See you Wednesday for Zack & Gary.

It also finds that recipientsโ€™ arts-related income increased by over โ‚ฌ500 per month on average, while their income from non-arts work decreased by around โ‚ฌ280. Dependence on social protection declined, with recipients receiving โ‚ฌ100 less per month on average, and 38 percentage points less likely to receive Jobseekerโ€™s payments.

Ireland just released a report showing the huge success of the unconditional basic income it provided to artists. Each $1 spent led to society gaining $1.39. Artists' earned incomes went up more than their side job incomes fell. And they were happier and used less welfare

It's a bit tiring to see people still pining for a soft left Labour leader when the Labour machine just illustrated how it wil absolutely never allow it by utterly stitching up the meaningless deputy leader ballot.

End the king's tax breaks. The text appears beside a photo of King Charles sitting on a throne wearing a crown,

Our billionaire king gets exemptions on capital gains tax, inheritance tax, corporation tax and more.

Next week we're bringing a vote to end the 100% tax break he gets when buying property in Scotland.

Power and privilege is no reason to avoid paying your fair share.

The problem with Thatcherism is eventually youโ€”the Stateโ€”not only run out of money, but the means or even the vision of how to generate it, and you wake up one day, and all that money, and power, and sovereignty, is in the hands of a deterritorialised capitalist force that you have no control over.

Boris Johnson was removed as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Leader of the Conservative & Unionist Party *by his own senior colleagues* because his corruption and mendacity had become an intolerable burden.

This was only 3 years ago.

Elite impunity is absolute.

The Green Party is a genuine democratic, grassroots party run by members and it can be the party we need. Itโ€™s very close already. And it can support people who donโ€™t have activity locally. So good luck to the new party and I hope we can work together but Iโ€™m not putting all my eggs in that basket.
