CEnv furious about anthropogenic Climate Change; passionate about wildlife, regeneration, soils and habitats. Love gardening. Hacked off with Labour sacking its environmental pledges, sounding & acting like Tories. Hate Farage & his nasty politics

Thor save us! Looks like Witkoff tweeted what was meant to be a DM, saying the content for this Axios story must have come from "K." Almost certainly this refers to Kirill Dmitriev. It seems the russian side is leaking this for a reason. My shortbus comment in 🧵 was way too generous beyond 😜

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage.

Russia's crisis in wage arrears continues to grow, with almost daily new announcements by firms unable to pay workers for months. Now up 400% from just one year ago.

SHOCKING 🚨: Energy giants raked in £125 billion in UK profits while millions struggled to afford to heat their homes.

Five years of crisis for households and five years of soaring profit for the companies driving fuel poverty.

Global news really doesn't appear to cover the Ukraine/Russia war in detail. It appears much more serious for the Kremlin than might otherwise be thought.

Everyone is focusing on the explosion. Almost no one is talking about what failed before the impact. The real story is much worse for the Kremlin. 📷

Hundreds of Oxford residents marched across Oxford to demonstrate against racism and in solidarity with migrants in an ‘Oxford Unity March and Rally’. Chants included ‘this is what community looks like’ and calls to ‘fight back’ against racism.

The Home Secretary says "we have become the destination of choice in Europe, clearly visible to every people smuggler and would-be illegal migrant across the world"

That is a factually untrue claim: the Home Office shows that the UK is fifth, getting 1/10 claims, while Germany gets 1/5 claims

There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million

In New York - population 8.5 million - there were
391.

London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.

And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing

It's real, and it's mind-blowing.

A complete lack of awareness and a national embarrassment.
Just some British patriots in Benidorm, taking over a street in Spain to shout in their own language about unwanted foreigners. It’s a blessing that they are too thick to understand irony.

As I don't watch broadcast TV, I've missed this story.

I have noticed that the BBC has been forgetting to introduce Trump as "The racist, rapist, peodophile, conman President of the United States".

Is this why people are resigning?
