Most of the media reflects neither reality nor public opinion. It reflects the views and demands of those who own it: the Oligarch Class. They employ editors and journalists to channel their demands and sell their fictions. Hence the endless attacks on net zero. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Rightwing narrative fuelling false belief UK public oppose net zero, study finds
Reform, Tory and some media rhetoric runs contrary to poll showing far more voters for net zero than against it

As Antonio Gramsci pointed out, "common sense" is a "chaotic aggregate" of opinion, which is strongly affected by mainstream narratives. It feeds back into those narratives, reinforcing the status quo. He also observed that "The dominant ideas in any society are the ideas of the ruling class".

"The War in Iran was started by WOKES!" Colin from Portsmouth says that the war is a ruse by carbon neutral lobbyists to put up the price of oil so we all start investing in green energy.

The additional cost of ONE fossil fuel price spike on the scale of 2022 = the ENTIRE COST of Net Zero by 2050. We get precisely nothing in return for the first cost, and a whole new, more secure and cheaper energy system from the second one. #NoBrainer www.theccc.org.uk/2026/03/11/c...

Labour's core voters, on which its re-election entirely depends, are crystal clear about this: they absolutely hate its illiberal, intolerant, draconian, rightwards turn. Hence the total collapse in support. So how does the government respond? #SuicideMission🤦‍♂️ thesecretbarrister.com/2026/03/07/k...

The government’s ongoing refusal to engage with reality in the criminal justice system, while trotting out the same tabloid-pleasing headlines as its predecessors, is having catastrophic effects, day after day. The guilty acquitted, the innocent convicted, victims and defendants failed.

With Farage back on Question Time last night... ...here is your reminder that Farage was on BBCQT a record-breaking 35 times before he became an MP. And, further, that the panellist selection on BBCQT has been heavily slanted to right-wing think tanks and commentators over the years.

Kemi Badenoch tells Keir Starmer that "we had a Budget in March this year and tractors were not blockading the streets of Whitehall afterwards." Anyway, here's the 'go slow' protest by farmers that blockaded the streets around Parliament following the Conservative Government's last Budget in March

The Lady Chief Justice is right. The previous government devastated criminal justice, running up record delays and backlogs. The new government’s ongoing refusal to fund the courts only increases the problem, and will lead to enormous financial and social long-term costs.

With a fully remote team of just 20 employees, Bluesky has surpassed 20 million users in its first year since opening to the public and is stealing thunder from rivals hundreds of times its size. At a time when conventional wisdom among bosses is that workers must be in-person to be productive.

All of a sudden, my 'For You' feed in the other place has cleaned up. Before I joined here I saw nothing but tweets from 'him' and MAGA and voluminous right-wing bile. Mostly though it was just him; tweet after tweet after tweet in my feed. Now, nothing. Too late Space Karen, too late...
