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 ๐งต
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.
We have more coverage, more members, and more elected greens than ever before. Our new leadership team is cutting through with a bold message that @greenparty.org.uk will tackle inequality and deliver real hope, and real change. ๐

It also finds that recipientsโ arts-related income increased by over โฌ500 per month on average, while their income from non-arts work decreased by around โฌ280. Dependence on social protection declined, with recipients receiving โฌ100 less per month on average, and 38 percentage points less likely to receive Jobseekerโs 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

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. Itโs very close already. And it can support people who donโt have activity locally. So good luck to the new party and I hope we can work together but Iโm not putting all my eggs in that basket.
