Hmmm, worrying.

The Greens are doing incredible work. Why aren’t the media talking about it? harryeccles94.substack.com/p/10-importa...

Keep Palantir away from the NHS! harryeccles94.substack.com/p/who-are-pa...

geoffmulgan.substack.com/p/power-fail... @zackpolanski.bsky.social Very interesting piece here

Happy first day of early voting, New York!

"We need to generate enough energy before the 29th to demand Andy Burnham step in and block the Thames Water bailout and take Thames Water into Special Admin." Our Outreach Lead @jbnwogbo.bsky.social spoke at Arise: Festival of Left Ideas. This is his speech vist.ly/5pqq3

The government didn’t just approve Jackdaw, they also reiterated their support for so-called tiebacks - a dodge to allow yet more new drilling without new licenses. This deserves almost as much scrutiny as Jackdaw and has got barely any of it, so I raised it in the Chamber.

Billionaire Reform UK donor was in business with foundation linked to Iranian regime. He is moving his tax residency from Switzerland to the UK to make “regular payments” of more than “one or two million” to the party. Reform for sale to foreign money, made from dubious dealings.

This point ⬇️ is rarely raised in the discussion about Jackdaw/Rosebank. The UK is heavily dependent on fossil fuels, but not as much as the headline figures suggest. I know figures cited are global, not UK, but the same principle applies, and electricity was 22% of final energy in UK in 2025.

"Electric vehicle sales are increasing rapidly, but so too are road transport emissions" The *very* bad habit of only presenting market share as the core metric here means few have any idea how badly transport emissions are rising. There is a real and deep disinterest in the climate aspects

Thames Water line up former Labour minister John Hutton as chairman, as it tries to win over the govt. Hutton left the govt after the expenses and lobbying scandals. Now pursued by TW to fix things politically, TW is financially, environmentally bankrupt.

Every Newsletter had "Excerpts from recent reports" In this one he devotes a page to text from Richard Broad’s December 1981 documentary “Warming Warning.”

A daycare started charging parents who picked up late. They showed up even later. Frédéric Samama, author of The Enigma of Climate Inaction, explains what that means for climate. ⏰🎙️ Full episode, link in bio #ClimateChange #Psychology

Moratorium on data centres NOW! "The first time England has had a severe drought in modern history - 100 years. It’s ... the failure of water privatisation - private companies, mostly foreign owned & based, are not capable of providing the water service (and sewage) that we need ..." via Dale Vince

wow -- a protester directly behind Vance gets up and yells "release the Epstein files!" Vance suggest he's an illegal immigrant.

We’re back with our second story about how Trump’s purge of the FBI killed a sweeping bribery probe in D.C. This time, we take you to South Carolina, where two powerful politicians escaped scrutiny: Sen. Lindsey Graham and Rep. James Clyburn. THREAD 👇

you have to watch every second. i…wow.

Brilliant

Thames Water asks creditors for another £2.4bn. Up to 30% of TW revenue covers financial costs. Debt spiral deepens problems, it borrowed to pay dividends. Hedge funds funding TW, hoping to asset-strip, hike bills, govt bailout. Let it go bust. Nationalise permanently.

The public wants public OWNERSHIP, not public CONTROL. We Own It's new report explains how Andy Burnham can deliver public ownership. I have just sent the report to my MP. Can you take 2 mins now to send it to your MP too? @weownit.org.uk weownit.org.uk/act-now/burn...

The 2026 State of the Climate Report is out. "The rate of warming appears to be accelerating. At current rates, 2°C above pre-industrial levels could be reached before 2050. Temperature data come from Rohde and Hausfather (2020)." 1/2

Big UK banks pocketed £29.2bn in six months while our bills went up! A windfall tax on bank profits would raise £19bn for our schools & NHS. @TheGreenParty's already backing it - sign the petition and tell John Healey to #TaxtheBanks! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

This is unacceptable!! Absolutely unacceptable!!!

I lost my career after refusing to keep quiet about the risks that Palantir poses to our NHS https://goodlawproject.org/forced-out-of-a-job-in-the-nhs-for-speaking-out-on-palantir/

Palantir didn't have to evade the UK's controls on lobbyists to get astonishing, unminuted access to government ministers and officials, or even to hire them to lobby their colleagues. Why not? Because there aren't any. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

There's something wrong with 'the markets'

So much lost time. Then we at least had sensible debate...

1/2 I recently spoke to @thenerve.news about reports that the Government has spent or agreed to spent at least £992m with Palantir. It’s becoming increasingly clear the British state is in the early stages of addiction to Palantir and all it represents.

418,986 professionally qualified accountants in the UK and the Republic of Ireland, about 28,000 in ROI. UK has the highest number of accountants per capita in the world. Dud audits, fraud, fiddles, tax abuse rife. Wasted social investment, damaging the UK economy, focus on short term returns.

The NHS needs independent voices fighting for its future. By becoming a monthly donor, even with a small amount, you give us the stability to investigate, challenge politicians, and stand up for staff and patients. Join our community today: everydoctor.org.uk/join-our-com...

Mayor Zohran Mamdani demands the Trump administration remove ICE from New York City and reiterates his call to abolish the agency.

PRIVATISATION IS TOO EXPENSIVE. Approximately 1/3 of our water bills is spent on expensive debt and shareholder payouts. Under public ownership, that's money we can spend on fixing our broken infrastructure.

Tories overstate net zero cost by nearly £500bn in apparent spreadsheet error. Same error amplified by right-wing think-tanks, press It suited their ideological leanings. Future historians might say - planet earth and human life was shattered by a spreadsheet error.

October 8, 1958 – “CO2 has begun to come home, hasn’t it?” writes Gordon Manley to Guy Callendar... allouryesterdays.info/2024/10/07/o...

“The only sensible solution at this point is a moratorium on datacentres until very basic questions about how many we need, what for, where, and how pollution will be avoided are answered satisfactorily by the government” - @olliehayes.bsky.social 👏

This is it!!!! It's the difference between a narrow loss or a Green WIN. And that difference is you!! Final sign ups for tomorrow 👇🏽 forms.cloud.microsoft/pages/respon...

Fact check: when the chips are down, this fella will graft his knackers off, he's got your back and he doesn't half put a shift in. A new kind of politics, a new kind of politician. Starmer II talks about hope, but Zack Polanski come prepared with a skip-full of hope, AND, real, tangible, change. 💚

My Kherson report is going viral on TikTok and a huge amount of people say they had no idea the human safari was happening. This is why reporting on the ground is so important. Thank you for sharing my reports 🙏0

A very long day but an amazing evening listening to residents as we head into the final day of campaigning. Rent controls, water nationalisation and tackling the climate crisis. Come campaign with us tomorrow! linktr.ee/HSP_6thGreenMP

The NHS wants their logo out of our spoof video, but we’re not going to be silenced. We won’t stop criticising their contract with Palantir. After all, it’s not our fault they went into business with a sinister company hungry for our data 👀

Americans don’t seem to understand how yesterday the fossil fuel economy is, just look at the economic pain we’re suffering because of the Iran war, our abilities to transition to a renewable energy future is critical in so many ways, however we allow the regime to hold us hostage to fossil fuels…🗳️💙

📢 Oxford Greenways launch 📢 We launched the Greenways project today! Masterplan of connecting safe cycle routes. It was just great to be standing on a stage with City, County, and Uni ALL behind the project, and Councillors from 3 different parties speaking in support. Also I got a mug! 😍☕ (1/4)

Thousands set to take to the streets in resistance to Palantir’s NHS deal https://goodlawproject.org/thousands-set-to-take-to-the-streets-in-resistance-to-palantirs-nhs-deal/

This one's a cri de coeur from @gruberte.bsky.social, @jmijin.bsky.social, and I: The coal sector's decline has created strong empirical evidence about how energy transitions play out, but most decarb scholarship and policymaking ignore it. That has to change. www.tandfonline.com/eprint/DJ88Z...
