Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

There’s some very bad news hidden in the Ofgem price cap for January announced yesterday: the electricity to gas price ratio has jumped to 4.67, its highest level since before the energy crisis.
This is a big barrier to households adopting heat pumps in Britain, and threatens our climate goals

I see a leading voice in the climate tech world attacking teachers for not properly embracing AI in the classroom.
You know who has been trying to tell teachers he knew how to do their jobs better than them? For years? Bill Gates.

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

As an absolute minimum Southern Water should be providing staff and equipment to help clean this up.
Why are they not legally required to do this? More, why have they not offered?
Relying on volunteers using dustpans and brushes is not going to provide the best outcome.

“This is the worst microplastic spill we’ve seen this year,” says environmentalist Joshua Beech. Worse even than the spill of nurdles (pre-production plastic pellets) in March, when two ships collided in the North Sea.

How do we, as a society, let companies get away with this behaviour?
I am bewildered that this labour of Sisyphus is being carried out by volunteers, while Southern Water, which has admitted responsibility for the catastrophe, is doing nothing to remediate it.

But more to the point - offering asylum to people fleeing war or torture or persecution is what decent nations do. It's what defines us. Without that it's just a race to the bottom.

It’s a dumb headline. The article itself records that passenger numbers are up and emissions per passenger dropped by 2% and emissions per tonne-km of freight also down 2%. If that took cars and lorries off the road then it was good.
The volume of traction emissions from the UK rail network over the last year has increased for the second consecutive year.
