I hope all the right-wingers who are enthusiastic about this war with Iran will be equally enthusiastic about the Iranian refugees when they arrive on our shores.

Kemi Badenoch refusing to acknowledge that Tommy Robinson is "far-right", now on LBC, and refusing to condemn Elon Musk's words. In fact she says what Musk said *isn't* incitement. So what would be incitement then? How violent would his words have to be before he was deemed a threat to this country?

‘I’m not far right but I went to a rally organised by Tommy Robinson’ is a pretty unconvincing position.

Surging solar imports mean #Africa can harness its abundant sunshine and expand electricity access ☀️⏩ Since June 2024, it imported 15 GW of solar from China, enough to add at least 5% power in 16 countries 🌍 Has Africa's solar boom begun? 👀 @BBC 🎧

Linking green energy to your local school, your hospital, your workplace is a really smart thing to do. The anti-Net Zero movement wants to cast it as some top-down, abstract diktat that will make "ordinary people" cold and poor. So the fightback needs to emphasise its tangible, local benefits.

The amount of cash pouring into renewable energy products has reached a new record high. $386 billion USD was invested during the first half of 2025 alone, a 10% jump from the same time last year, according to new data from BNEF. The boom is mainly being driven by fast, small-scale solar.

There was a hint in 2024 that China's Carbon emissions had peaked due to their massive roll out of renewables, which continues. Now the data from the first half of 2025 confirms that CO2 emissions in China are decreasing. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨🌊🔋
CO2 emissions in China have decreased from a peak in March 2024 to June 2025. The reduction is due to the deployment of massive amounts of renewable capacity, particularly solar PV.

Not even 9am. So far on Radio 6, the news bulletins have featured a mother saying her daughters aren't safe because of asylum seekers, a Tory politician lambasting Labour for crossing numbers & Badenoch encouraging councils to lodge legal challenges against hotels. An endless stream of hateful bile.

Far-right parties have undermined climate action by spreading lies and opposing climate policies, so despite the increasing frequency and severity of heatwaves, public support for climate action is declining. To stop climate change, we need to fight these lies and the liars who tell them.

Good piece from the editor-in-chief of @businessgreen.bsky.social. It's odd how little environmental policy (whether good or bad) has featured in assessments of Labour's first year. If we're serious about making climate a major issue, we can't then ignore it when assessing the government's record.
