I endured the entirety of her speech today. It was truly painful, not just the lack of content, which was expected, but the heavily staged tone of determination and the obligatory round of applause every 30 seconds. Taking wearisome to a new level.

Burnham really should have kept his mouth shut on this topic. Totally unnecessary for him to get involved, that was poor judgement.

Typical Trumpian bollocks. First, Britain doesn't need 'saving'. Second, within '100 days' smacks of Trump promising to end the war in Ukraine in 24h. Vacuous grandstanding.

After two attempts to kill her, which failed, Christa Pike was taken to hospital where she was "being provided life-saving measures". I'm not sure we'll ever come across human behaviour more bizarre than this.

still sort of struggling to believe that amidst everything else going on, Andy Burnham popped up this week to say we should bring back drinking in stands at football.

Imagine being as low as the Tories. 🤔 Perhaps people aren't so sure about a 'political' party being funded by foreign crypto-billionaires.

I think you can actually see the seam here between what the BBC journalist wrote, accurately repeating the statement of the expert, and where the editor watered down the headline
BBC headline is "Climate change likely played role in Nepal-Tibet flood, study finds" - note the "likely"The first actual paragraph of the story says "There was absolutely no doubt that human-induced climate change played a role here in the preconditioning of the disasteri, said Dr Friederike Otto, a climatologist at Imperial College London who co-authored the study." Note the "absolutely no doubt", which is quite different to the likely in the headline

80 year-olds with pro-Palestine signs: arrested as terrorists. Greens planning to block a road, to highlight an existential crisis: sent down for years. Masked far-right thugs blocking roads and ports, using intimidation, obstruction & threatening behaviour: no arrests. The real two-tier policing.

One very striking thing watching this Channel 4 News / Verbatim investigation is…Nigel Farage and the people surrounding him are not exactly geniuses, are they? I mean this looks like blatant disregard for basic rules, but they've been caught out by the oldest trick in the book.

Perhaps it's not a lack of imagination or that they don't care. I think it's that they don't understand. The science of climate change isn't that complicated, but it does require a person to have a basic level of intelligence.
