Just so we are clear: The 83yo priest on the left is a terrorist. The balaclava-clad men on the right are protestors with legitimate concerns

Shell just announced £7billion in profits for just 3 months. This is largely driven by rocketing oil prices due to the Iran conflict. People are dying and millions face rising bills around the world as Shell rakes in vast profits.   These are the profits of misery.

I join you from the Blaenavon wildfire in Southeast Wales, brought to you by BP, Shell and Equinor. Though it does not look dramatic, the fire has been out of control for days - for a very particular reason. 🧵

When the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.

Endlessly fascinating how many in the Tories and Labour combine an obsessive preference for two-partyism and a hatred of the internal pluralism needed to have the big tents required for a two-party system. The cost of ideologically pure silos is external pluralism.
