Remember when many thought Elmo was some business genius who was concerned about saving our planet. Turns out he's just a ruthless, deranged, moronic, lying grifter of the highest order who doesn't give a 💩 about anything other than $ & influence. Do not buy anything from him & divest from TSLA.

10. All this is supposed to promote economic growth, which appears to be Labour’s sole remaining principle. Trashing the living world to stimulate growth is like sacrificing virgins to secure a good harvest: it’s cruel, ignorant and ineffective. If anything, it will have the opposite effect.

1. Because this issue is critical, but has received remarkably little coverage, here's a thread pulling out the key themes from my article yesterday, on the Planning and Infrastructure Bill, which puts decades of environmental protections to the torch. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Ofwat investigating claims water companies are spending vastly more on refurbishment projects than operators in comparable countries. Sewage upgrade in Oxford up from £40m to £435m. New sewage network cost £29m in Denmark. People ripped-off again and again no, Ofgem slept.

It's hard to get your head around the scale of the environmental vandalism the Labour government is hoping to unleash. The Planning and Infrastructure Bill is up there with Trump's executive orders. And the reason is the same: corporate power. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

1. This is a thread about Horticultural Extrapolation. Not something you're likely to have thought about, but it's time some people did. What is it? It's projecting the mechanics of fruit and veg growing onto the entire food system. It's surprisingly common, and frequently leads people astray. 🧵

As I watch Starmer tear up Labour's prospects by attacking people in poverty, abusing those who care about the living world and appeasing the ultra-rich, I feel the same sense of dislocation as I did before the Iraq War. Anyone can see the disaster coming, except, apparently, the government.
