“Today, DEI has become the new N-word; the new rightwing abstraction deployed by Republicans to conceal their anti-Black racism.”

My latest for the Guardian, in which I cite Lee Atwater, and bring lots of receipts.

Sorry, but it has to be said:

Great to see so many Farage supporters defending his perverted nephew who was arrested for upskirting a woman by downplaying the crime. Almost as if their outrage isn’t really about “protecting women” and is more about weaponising sexual violence to promote racism, isn’t it?

He’s back . And he’s doing exactly what he said he would . Executive orders to expand drilling in the Alaskan wilderness , the guise of a ‘National Energy Emergency’ to slash red tape and regulation for fossil fuel companies , and the withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement .

Reposting this in light of today's appalling ban on puberty blockers by Wes Streeting after the farcical sham of a consultation process. If treatment for one group is denied to another that has nothing to do with patient safety, but everything to do with politics.

Currently the UK is generating 73.8% of its power from wind.

If we had built Wind Turbines in all the best locations we would currently have about 400% power generation from wind.

Green Energy can power everything easily and cheaply.

That is why Fossil Fuel are so desperate to block it,

I'm really disappointed that people aren't prepared to help a terminal ill man help not only thousands of terminally ill people but healthy people, people can't spare 30 seconds to sign a petition & verify the email.
