Yes, exactly. Most of our media esp BBC is run by and for the rich. Anything, even full on fascism, is preferable than the risk of the rich, big corporations & investor class being made to pay tax.

"I had a bit of an argument with a Conservative councillor about it because I said: ‘It’s due to climate’ and he told me: ‘We shouldn’t be bringing politics into it.’ Well, yes we should.” Hmm, no it's science. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

‘It’s due to climate’: the people of Stourbridge on the town’s wildfires
Thursday has been described by residents as ‘horrendous’, ‘distressing’ and ‘one of the scariest days of my life’

The Ruthless defected to Reform/restore?

IainBS @iainbdrum.bsky.social · 01/08/2026
The disappointment that a Labour candidate won the Manchester mayoral vote and not a reform or any non-labour person is palpable. The election magically went from being #bbcnews ; "the first true test of Andy Burnham" blah blah, to being instantly irrelevant. Why was it a "test of Burnham" anyway ?

Worried about #bbcnews I haven't seen Kemi BadEnoch being interviewed this morning!?? I expected her to be commenting on Polanski or why wildfires are just summer or something

Thanks for this really insightful article George CCS is a fossil fuel stitch-up - now with data centres. More data centres ⏩ more gas+CCS ⏩ more LNG ⏩ more methane ⏩ more heat🔥 Burnham has a chance to stop this spiralling - data centre moratorium, move CCS funding to green economy, no Rosebank

Main Stream Media News channels platforming Tory after Tory over the supposed Rachel Reeves dishonesty is truly OTT. Nearly 15 years of Conservative government lies, corruption and mismanagement, and they have the gall to ask for her to resign over this. Pathetic. 😡

Carbon offsetting does not work. Not because of implementation details but because there are fundamental issues with the very idea of 'offsetting'. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Carbon credits are failing to help with climate change — here’s why | Nature
The idea that emissions can be offset through projects that claim to avoid releases or to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is fatally flawed.

Every country has a powerful right wing that argue “if you tax the wealthy, they’ll leave” We need to start calling their bluff. We need to make it so the ultra wealthy either contribute enough to be a positive part of society, or be globally shunned and unable to extract further funds from us.

A huge relief to see the Israeli hostages released and the joy on family faces. But the fact that Israel has banned Palestinians from celebrating the release of their relatives, posting on social media or giving interviews - most held without charge - tells us how much there is to go.
