Every day is a good day to point out that 92% of Reform's donations were found to come from figures and groups linked to the fossil fuel industry. @desmog.com

New post just out:

The relationship between Russia and the European radical right goes well beyond Reform's Nathan Gill being bribed.

In this post I trace the history back to the 1990s and look at the threat it poses now.

Ahead of the Green Party conference, the party's new leader Zack Polanski puts a defence of the historic and future contribution of migration at the heart of his argument, alongside a socio-economic argument about inequality

It would exemplify a big flaw in political media culture if 90% of the discourse is about which adjective - racist, discriminatory, wrong - is a legit way to challenge this
