How do 2023 global temperatures fit with model predictions from two decades ago? Take a look:

If you think the BBC should be destroyed due to the way it handled the Huw Edwards story, what do you think should happen to an institution that helped Prince Andrew settle a sexual abuse case and then dress up in all his finery at the coronation? Just saying…

Thank you @y_alibhai for this.
To think that after all this time we’re back to or about to get back to this. Sad times indeed. @SuellaBraverman

Here are some tweets that DIDN'T cause a meltdown at the BBC👇

[Enough is Enough @eiecampaign]

Feb 1st:

300,000 teachers
100,000 civil servants
70,000 university workers
12,000 rail workers

Feb 6th:

100,000 nurses
25,000 paramedics

The biggest wave of co-ordinated strike action in decades.

RT if you’re behind our workers 👊

As perfect a metaphor for our divided & unequal world as you are likely to see.

My little one is sick…

We struggled but eventually got antibiotics

Then I read:

“Strep A antibiotics skyrocket to take advantages of demand”

Amoxicillin up to £18 from 80p

Govt response:

It’s "normal" for prices to "fluctuate based on demand"…

Incredible scenes. Riot police uniting with protestors against the regime. #IranRevolution

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Jacob Rees-Mogg today opened new North Sea oil and gas licensing.

This isn't about energy bills (it won't affect prices and renewables are 9x cheaper).

It's about profits for fossil fuel companies, who (coincidentally) donated £1,500,000+ to the Tories since the last election.

Someone said to me today that whenever they heard “heating or eating” they thought people were joking. And only today they have realised that it is a real problem for people. 🫠

Bernie Sanders and Mick Lynch at a RMT rally in London earlier today. Dream team.

Let's be clear: the Pakistani people did not do this to Pakistan –– we all did, and the high-emitting nations are most responsible.

Unless we end our species' addiction to fossil fuels, every country in the world will remain in the crosshairs of the climate breakdown.

[Paid to Pollute @PaidToPollute]

Energy prices are predicted to rise to almost £3500 a year by October.

This means 1 in 3 households could be in fuel poverty this winter.

AND today Shell announces record profits of more than £9 billion from the last 3 months alone.

This isn't a coincidence #PaidToPollute
