We’re running this ad on Fox News this morning for no particular reason

Incredible… Putin’s henchmen helped Musk to acquire Twitter.

That explains a lot: the position of Musk on Crimea… the refusal at some point to let Ukraine use Starlink… the support for Trump…

Time for the US to wake up !

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

Did Elon Musk buy Twitter to do the Kremlin’s bidding?

How to leave Twitter (#X)

"#BlueSky has all the important functionality of Twitter except much less hatred and it’s not run by a very naughty boy. And crucially there are enough great people there to make it worth staying."

@RishiSunak Paul Johnson, IFS:
"the £2,000 per household the Conservatives are suggesting Labour is committed to is not independently arrived at or verified [but] based on Conservative assumptions about Labour's spending plans. It's also ... cumulated over four years."

@RishiSunak Clue - the barrister let you dig yourself the hole and already had the evidence - that is why he had a wry smile on his face

EXCLUSIVE

The chief Treasury civil servant wrote to Labour two days ago saying that the £38 billion/£2,000 tax attack “should not be presented as having been produced by the civil service”

He said he had reminded ministers of this

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

On X, scientists are sidelined, attacked, and trolled.

Meanwhile on B l u e s k y, they’re asking scientists how to make the platform better for them ⬇️

If you love science and constructive discussions on social media, and you are not yet there….what are you waiting for?!

“Not only did we not have PPE at the time we don’t even have proper PPE now” @doctor_oxford

This is shocking. Are you listening @VictoriaAtkins?

#BREATHTAKING

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

No sympathy for striking doctors? Watch @ITV’s #Breathtaking and ask: have we paid our debt to them?

The Kingswood and Wellingborough results show that people want change and are ready to put their faith in a changed Labour Party to deliver it.

The Tories have failed, Rishi's recession proves that.

Labour is back in the service of working people.

[Stan Collins @NatsSnilloc]

@EveningStandard Ed Davey was the first minister to meet Alan Bates in October 2010.

How many Tory ministers met Alan Bates before it became politically advantageous to do so?

🚨 BREAKING: The Norwegian government has just awarded 62 new oil licences.

39 of these are to @Equinor, the owners of the climate-wrecking Rosebank oil field.

Any claim Norway had to being a climate leader is now in tatters.

@Peston 14 April 2022 Daily Fail ran dead cat front page story leaked by Boris Johnson to deflect from the Sue Gray report. It has wasted £ HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS and achieved absolutely nothing except ridicule around the world.

Another costly unworkable Boris Johnson con man FAIL

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

🚨BREAKING: mini nuclear plants to be built almost anywhere in UK.

Planning rules will be relaxed to allow this - but onshore wind will still have requirements not applied to any other infrastructure?

Would you rather have a wind turbine or a "modular reactor" in your backyard?

5/n: Next, we digitized all 16 global warming projections reported by Exxon scientists, and plotted them on one graph:

Gray = Exxon's predictions
Red = Observed temperature change

This, in a single image, is what #ExxonKnew.

[Stephen Barlow @SteB777]

What the ITV dramatization of the Post Office Scandal, demonstrates, is if the public are aware of something, they will be energized into action. The media do not hold our governments properly to account.

What about the climate crisis?

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

As the issue of compensation for miscarriages of justice is rightly in the news, it’s timely to note that in 2014, the government changed the law to make it all but impossible for people wrongly convicted and imprisoned to claim compensation.
