A few token places on safe and legal routes for refugees cannot in any way mitigate or atone for what this government has done and is doing on asylum or immigration policy. A thread trying to be clear-eyed about this.

Seems to be a lot of selective memory in UK's right-wing newspapers about schools not closing during the 1976 heatwave. I just checked and, yes, many schools did close early as well as allow parents to "keep their children at home if they wish". This clipping from London Evening News, 29 June 1976

It's officially the hottest June day ever. We know who is to blame. Fossil fuel firms. The billionaire media. Weak politicians. We know what we must do. Rapid decarbonisation & adaptation for a healthier, wealthier country safe for future generations.

This is only the beginning. The climate crisis is here. So why are politicians and most of the media still acting as though this can wait? It can't. We can still avoid some of the worst impacts - but only if we find the courage to act. metro.co.uk/2026/06/22/g...

The huge storms in London last night (I woke up to what sounded like a bomb going off at 4am) caused house fires and floods It was so severe that the London Fire Bridgade had to trigger an operation designed for "times of extreme demand" Show this to anyone claiming this is normal summer weather

This is rather good www.theringer.com/2026/05/28/t...
Because the truth is, tech doesn't have an image problem. It doesn't have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What's wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn't successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What's wrong is that he's trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that's designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn't that you haven't told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.

So just to summarise what Kruger said: misogynists, racists and dodgy financial dealers who don't understand that social media isn't private are the best people to run the country without any guidance from the civil service. Got it. That's what Reform UK voters are voting for. #r4today

Danny Kruger interview on BBC R4 - what a foul person he is. What a foul set of principles Reform have Apparently a persons ‘private’ behaviour has no bearing on their ability to be ‘a better politician’ and we should disregard £5m gifts or foul misogynistic comments on social media
