I don’t understand how @RishiSunak isn’t embarrassed.

Waiting list grew by 4.7m from 2010 to March 2023 (when we began IA).

They have grown by a further 0.3m since.

It’s like blaming a defeat on a striker missing a last-minute penalty when you’re already 15-0 down ⚽️

Yeah, it’s a bit hot, but it’s summer. Let’s keep drilling for new oil. Who cares about about our kids and their kids’ future anyway?

This afternoon I slept and dreamed it had all slipped away , that we were all ambling to the funeral of life . We were sobbing over Swallows and Small Coppers , crying about Cuckoos and porpoises , choking and gasping about rivers and meadows . And when I woke up . . . the world was on fire

@MBielieskov @PhillipsPOBrien The RU divide to rule. Putin should have remembered though you corner a fat rat and it has nowhere to go, it will have no option but to bite you

[Parody RCGP @Parody_RCGP]

Yep yep. This is all true.

What's happening to Antarctic sea ice extent isn't getting enough global media attention. And by "enough" I mean none. Nothing. This ongoing and dramatic collapse is completely absent from today's news.

Yesterday's sea ice extent was 4.02σ below the 1991-2023 mean (1-in-34,000).
