I've heard thousands of climate denial arguments over the last few decades. But do you know they all fall into one of 5 categories? 1. It's not real 2. It's not us 3. It's not bad 4. We can't fix it 5. You can't trust the info/experts Source: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I went to see this film last week and it's very sobering.

Today the two-child limit is gone. Parents have told us what this will mean for their kids: - A first-ever birthday party for a 10-year-old - Better quality food - Clothes that aren't completely worn out - Going on the school trip without getting into debt - A new mattress - Swimming lessons

Lowest murder rate in 49 years across England and Wales. You wouldn't know it though, because the right-wing press wants you to believe everything is going to sh*t. www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopula...

About bloody time. Maybe we can start reversing some of the £90bn loss PER YEAR, that Brexit has caused to our economy...

A new study reveals Brexit's true price tag is staggering. Originally thought to have cost the UK around 4% of GDP, this new study has concluded that our GDP has been stifled by between 6% and 8%, and that it has cost the treasury £90bn EACH YEAR in lost revenue. Still, immigrants, eh?

The Telegraph headline - Time to admit the truth: Brexit has been an unmitigated economic failure.

Having made a decent grift, grinding his gears primarily about Muslim immigration to the UK, Reform MP Richard Tice is now very happy to live in a Muslim country under Sharia law, ruled by an absolute monarchy and where political dissent is not tolerated. Still, low taxes, eh?

A REMARKABLE JOURNEY: Not long ago, the UK’s power sector was the country’s largest source of carbon emissions. Today, it has become the smallest emitter among all sectors.

WW2 veteran Ken Turner: "Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, is using his immense power to support the far-right in Europe, and his money comes from Tesla cars. Well, I’ve got this message for Mr Musk. We’ve crushed fascism before, and we’ll crush it again."

Retaliatory tariffs are not the answer if you run a trade deficit with the US (pretty much every country). You will run out of things to tariff before the US does and damage your own economy far more.

At the beginning of 2022, Octopus hadn't installed a single heat pump. But since the govt grant increased, record numbers of people are upgrading to heat pumps with £7,500 off. (10% of them installed by Octopus). The future of home heating is here – and it’s electric.

A graph from the BBC showing the increase in the number of heat pumps installed in the UK after the government grant increased.
