Scientists say 80% of bees have died as a result of rapid global warming causing the four seasons to become more and more erratic.
Bees come out for the spring bloom to eat and they’ve either missed or are too early to collect nectar and die.
This is really really bad.

It's really welcome that some liberals are now realising that Starmerism is a poisonous political project with no moral core.
But the left currently identified what this government would be like, so rather than listen to liberals angry they had their wallets inspected, you should listen to us.

A harsh and highly critical analysis, but a fair summation of how poor Keir Starmer is at governing. He'll meekly allow the Labour Right to lead him off the cliff, all while blaming the left-wing of the party for his many failings.
Starmer's own team are briefing that their man is a useless waste of space.
The truth is Starmer did literally everything the Labour Right wanted him to do.
That's why his government is a disaster.

We should acknowledge that MAGA and Trump’s victory were enabled by internet platforms whose business models reward fear and outrage. Dems had 8 yrs after FB enabled Trump and never had a floor vote in either chamber on a single bill that could possibly have addressed the harms. 🧵1/x
