100% Israel will announce a ceasefire in the next few weeks (but keep bombing) and the UK will say this is a success and then not recognise Palestine.

The Handala, a ship aiming to break the illegal Israeli blockade to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, is nearing the coast. 🇵🇸

The ship has passed the point where the previous expedition of the Madleen was hijacked by the Israeli navy last month.

Trying to find some average cost figures for large-scale batteries in Europe. Find a page that looks very boring but maybe has the info.

Nope.

They're even AI generating fake charts nows. Fake, illegible data.

Popped out in my lunch break join the protest outside of the EU Commission. 🇵🇸

Israel and the US have started a new war with Iran, which could lead to millions of deaths and nuclear proliferation. The genocide in Gaza continues.

We need sanctions, arms embargo, EU-Israel agreements ripped up.

We’re here! And it’s massive! 🇵🇸

Step 1: Israel funds Hamas

Step 2: Israel funds groups against Hamas (we are here)

Step 3: Israel funds groups against groups against Hamas

Step 4: Israel funds groups against groups against groups against Hamas…

After detouring to save 4 refugees fleeing Sudan who abandoned their overcapacity, deflating boat, the Madleen sails on towards Gaza to deliver aid. 🇵🇸

The Israeli Navy has announced it plans to intervene to block the ship, which may arrive this weekend or early next week.

All Eyes on the Madleen!

They’re off! The Freedom Flotilla “Madleen” has left Catania, setting sail to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. 🇵🇸

Last time they set off, they were attacked by Israeli drone. An overwhelming brave crew has boarded once more.

Spotted last night a bridge across the Rhein river in Bonn, covered in solar panels end to end.

Great report on the EU’s extractivist energy plans.

Worth noting that 🇬🇷 and 🇨🇾 risk legal repercussions for the new EU-backed electricity cable to Israel, with directly supports the illegal occupation of Palestine 🇵🇸 (and of course, the ongoing genocide).

I'm sorry, but this has to be a joke.

You're telling me *this* minister isn't to be trusted?
May 22, 2025 at 11:50 AM
As Israel launches a new offensive into Khan Younis and continues the genocide of Palestinians, we’re outside the EU Council calling for European foreign ministers meeting today to suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement.

🇪🇸 and 🇮🇪 have our support - what about the rest of you?

Yeah, I think this summer is going to be a bit difficult if this is how we're starting...

Amazing new dashboard by the EU energy regulator looking at all the cross-border projects. Far easier to track which projects are on time in which countries. 🔌💡

94% of the way there. If you don’t have EU citizenship like me, send it to your fiends who do!

A perfect illustration of why Labour’s anti-migrant move gains them nothing. The far-right sees through it and wants them dead, everyone else hates it and just won’t vote for them. This strategy leads to a Reform majority in 2029.

“Wah, the nuclear phase out is causing black outs!!!!”

The Spanish “phase out”:

Great stuff from the Irish 🇮🇪 transmission grid operator!

Early engagement with citizens and communities is win-win. It’s essential to deliver grid infrastructure on time, and not a contributor to slowing it down.

Followed by a segment on what happened in Europe. Not the most subtle..
April 29, 2025 at 2:55 PM
While Europe comes to terms with its recent black outs, Chinese state TV is running a segment on its grid, how they keep it stable, and all the new renewables they are deploying.

An example to follow. It’s time to double down on the grid and renewables, not listen to the fossil fuel scare stories.

Drinking a tea, which they banned in the EU. Adrian Chiles is right, I’m hooked.
