I keep returning to these graphs by @jburnmurdoch at the @FT and wondering why more British journalism can't be as straightforwardly lucid and illustrative as this. The catastrophe of Tory rule laid bare.
Mind bogglingly awful. "HSBC loans $360m to coal project despite pledge to halt fossil fuel funding."
According to The Times, bank execs advised against disclosing the loan to the Garzweiler II open-cast mine, the energy company RWE's coal project.

Hey @SteveBarclay, I’m a doctor. Today I was the only surgical assistant for two curative mastectomies, and got home three hours after my shift finished so a third lady’s cancer curing surgery didn’t have to be postponed. I brought home <£80 post tax. Should I be working harder?
One of the more remarkable series of interviews we've ever filmed.
@SamCoatesSky quizzing professional lobbyists on the APPG system they use to influence policy. It's not pretty...

Question from the new Rishi Sunak maths syllabus: if 13 years of Tory government knocks 20% off your real income and 40% off your pension, puts £500 a month on your mortgage and lands you with a £2000 gas bill, should you vote Tory at the next general election?
A reminder that this role is not exactly 'independent' because he reports to the PM who is the ultimate arbiter of the ministerial code.
Rishi Sunak refused to rewrite ethics advisor's powers meaning Sir Laurie won't be able to launch his own investigations.
HOT OFF THE PRESS: In many European countries we actively disincentivise the switch from fossil to clean heating by taxing energy badly.
Our new paper in Energy Policy @ElsevierEnergy explains how we can change this.

Instead of backing 1000s of green jobs & sustainable, long-term economic revival, Govt has backed a climate-busting, backward-looking, stranded asset coal mine. The decision to greenlight this mine is a climate crime against humanity - & we must challenge it every step of the way
