Yesterday, we put out a report on the most important issues to voters.
We know that immigration now tops the traditional most important issues question (see below from @yougov.co.uk).
But that doesn't tell the full story.

Confiscating jewellery from survivors of a war zone makes you look like a fucking Nazi. And the obscene thing is, that is the intention. It's there to look appropriately harsh. Indecent. Filthy. A moral stain. And no-one of good character would have ever proposed such a thing in the first place.

This is the essential problem with everything being treated as performative (ie what is the best (perceived) short term political gain for any particular situation). THESE SITUATIONS ARE NOT PERFORMATIVE THEY ARE ACTUAL DIFFICULT PROBLEMS
Good thread this. I think people are much smarter than they are given credit for, and they intuit that the government’s actual view is “what can we say to make these people shut up about immigration?”
Which then takes you back into the familiar territory of pleasing nobody - winding up the left for a policy that potentially doesn’t make that much difference in practice

Governments and voters are both reacting to algorithm-shaped “public opinion,” not grounded priorities. Immigration feels urgent because platforms amplify fear, pulling parties into hollow performances of toughness. The far right reads that drift as confirmation it’s winning.

When trees can't make sugar bc it's too warm, they also can't run repair processes.
They weaken. Every year a bit more. Then the next storm, drought, pest fells them.
For boreal forests, it's increasing nutrient scarcity due to longer growth season. Then the same dynamics sets in: no repair = death.

Trees can't cope with the rate of change either.
C3 plants=all trees, start respirating more CO2 than they use for photosynthesis at 24C. That's why low altitude tropical and subtropical forests die, even IF they'd have enough water & nutrients. Boreal carbon sink already collapses too, see🇪🇺reports.
