Kemi Badenoch’s flagship Tory policy document overstating the cost of net zero by nearly £500bn due to an embarrassing spreadsheet error shows the rot of bad-faith climate math. Doubling numbers to justify scrapping green targets is deeply reckless. Why weaponise bad data? 🤔 #ClimateCrisis

It's now just two parliamentary by-election wins in 26 attempts for Reform - and in this one they couldn't even beat the Tories and only just got their deposit back.

Republicans are shit at governing, but they're awesome at performative wankery — so they're throwing red meat to the MAGA chuds by persecuting Dr. Fauci for his imaginary crimes. thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I mock their dumbfuckery. link is here: bit.ly/4vVYPni
what a great use of the Senate’s time and resources, am I right? Republicans don’t have a single idea right now for how to improve the lives of We the People, so they’ve decided instead to throw red meat to their MAGA base, and keep the cultists distracted by reviving their six-year-old grievances against the hero who did his best to keep President Horsepaste McBleachguzzle from botching the covid crisis.
