The team whose honour Britain’s largest political parties and newspapers just spent weeks screaming abuse at *the police* to protect, just while we’re talking about our politics as maybe the world’s most insulting, disastrous and idiotic.

⚡📮Nice work @royal-mail.bsky.social, who have just announced the launch of a new fleet of over 100 micro electric vehicles, replacing 52 vans.

Better for the climate and for deliveries. This is exactly the kind of move we need to see for cities free of diesel vans!

I am a political extremist in that i think it's a bad idea to give away decades of the most detailed medical database on earth to an ai surveillance company whose UK branch is run by the grandson of the most famous british fascist. If I were a politician, I would think those optics were bad.

When the UK's new nuclear power plant Hinkley Point C starts to produce power in 2030, its guaranteed 'strike price' will have risen to ~150 £/MWh (170 €/MWh). Average wholesale electricity prices will probably be around half of that, so that's a 50% subsidy.

Deploying carbon removal tech in the UK faces significant uncertainty, with high costs and delays.

The UK risks overrelying on this tech to decarbonise. Focusing on proven methods – like renewables and heat pumps – should be the priority in the next decade.

Here is a list of reasons why some of my hearings and trials this year have been delayed and kicked off into the long grass, stuck in our record court backlog. Serious allegations which will now be tried *years* after the event. 🧵👇

I am so angry at the all-too-believable levels of racism in the justice system, media, and politics right now.
Science 'nerd' guilty of making explosives in shed of mum's Bedfordshire garden A self-styled “nerdy” science geek - who had a life-threatening allergic reaction to one of his own experiments - has been found guilty of making explosives in his garden shed. Harry Whittaker created a makeshift laboratory in the garden of the home he shared with his mother, the Old Bailey was told. They included: black powder, blank ammunition and a round of live ammunition, chemicals, lethal poisons, and suspected improvised explosive devices. Police also uncovered radioactive materials and white phosphorus, a substance which can spontaneously ignite in air and is so dangerous that it had to be destroyed by controlled explosion by the military, the court was told. Following his arrest, police uncovered a stream of racist chat on WhatsApp in which Whittaker directed hate towards a mosque in Luton.

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

Hey. Wanna Netflix and Respect?
A screenshot of the Google TV App showing two films, 1917 and Dunkirk, under the title, and I can't believe I'm going to have to type this "The Poppy Collection". Below it - and possibly even more gag inducing, is the subtitle "Stories of wartime resilience and ingenuity for Remembrance Day" And yes, it's Google TV, not Netflix. No-one says "let's Google and Chill" apart from possibly people who ought to consider their life choices very carefully.

"Overall, fossil fuel producers own only 1.42 percent of global renewable energy projects, and those projects are responsible for a measly 0.1 percent of their total energy production."

Oil, gas and coal companies aren't interested in renewable energy – except as a smokescreen to continue polluting
Fossil fuel companies say they support the energy transition. New numbers suggest otherwise.
A new study shows that fossil fuel companies own less than 2 percent of renewable energy projects worldwide.

Fair play he doesn’t go to work wearing his ‘I’m a Tory Cunt’ shirt.
Guardian headline and story photo. Photo is Tim Davie in suit by a posh building, possibly royal, he has a red ribbon around his neck possible attached to an OBE or some other arse kissing trinket. The headline reads “BBC reporters cannot wear Black Lives Matter T-Shirts in newsroom, says Tom Davie.
