Here's Colbert's interview with Talarico, not on the Carr-controlled, Trump-tainted airwaves but in the free air of the internet. As I post this, 500k have watched. Let's make sure more people see it on YouTube than TV. Call that the Carr Effect.

Great game in store, India v Pakistan, but sas and depressing the captains wouldn't shake hands at the toss. What message does that send to their fans, children in their countries, the world? Such a simple gesture, turned into a very negative message

"Donald Trump has reversed a scientific ruling that says pollution is harmful to public health and the environment"
Trump by far the biggest danger to American health.
Do some people genuinely not care about the future if they know they'll not be here to suffer any consequences?

Imagine if the climate crisis was even still newsworthy (by that I mean it can't and or isn't even getting any headlines right now). Our government certainly isn't treating it as any sort of public priority, meanwhile the effects of the changing climate are being felt daily...
The world is going to blow past the 1.5 C goal of the Paris Accords. Even limiting global warming to 2 C will be very hard.
But we might still be able to pull it off if we change tactics, and focus more attention on climate “Emergency Brakes”.

Al Cairns or AI Cairns? I've never heard of either, so I can't say who might worry me the most
The Al Carns stuff is a real “the PLP has learned nothing and forgotten nothing” thing.
Talk has turned to who replaces Starmer (again).
Labour MP tonight:
“As far as I'm concerned, Starmer is done. What matters is what's next. If it's Angela, the honeymoon lasts a week. If it's Wes, a month. If it's Al, 6 months. Hard to see how it turns around beyond that.”
