The ‘far centre’ are the real political extremists . . .

At some point in the future, the extreme weather events caused by climate change will lead to a decades long global recession.

It will be ‘degrowth’ by default.

Degrowth is how

Make failure look
Like success

This is Ceire Ní Ghribín, the nurse who went viral.

She was interviewed a few years ago, and she was passionate about what's happening in Gaza then.

[Matthew Todd 🌏🔥 @MrMatthewTodd]

There’s another heatwave coming in the next 10 days.

I hope im wrong but I think we’re fucked.

People are too stupid and the whole media is just unable to tell the truth.

We literally are seeing temperature and rainfall records falling all over the planet constantly and it’s barely making a dent in peoples consciousness. There should be millions protesting in the street day in day out until global governments change.

But there is no urgency from the useless deadly media who literally think they know more than scientists who’ve studied it for decades.

The public only cares about superficial celebrity nonsense, lifestyle guff and money, even people on the left generally are not very engaged with this issue whereas the right often deny it’s even happening. Only 10% of MPs across the board attended a briefing on climate change by the chief scientist in the UK several years ago.

Politicians don’t understand and don’t care, just like the public don’t. Most people won’t even tweet or discuss it let alone watch a documentary.

Someone asked me recently why I focus more on climate change than gay stuff now. It’s because climate change is the biggest threat to gay people that’s ever existed. Because it’s the biggest threat to all people that has ever existed.

We are talking about the total breakdown of the food system, of law and order and eventually, as David Attenborough says, the collapse of civilisation itself. Mass death, in other words, and with the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere - we put 100 million tons of it out every single day - it can’t return to normal for thousands of years.

The media has turned us into idiots and completely failed to convey scientists warnings about how serious and imminent climate breakdown is. It’s not decades away. It’s here. It’s now. Extreme suffering and violence are incoming.

Video: Monmouth, UK, earlier this year. Scientist Prof Hayley Fowler, video below this tweet, warned last year that the UK could now see 2/3 of years worth of rain, triple what Monmouth experienced, to fall within a day or two, enough to wash homes and cars away and to completely flood the tube system in London if it happened there. No reporting in the media at all.

This legend is Irish-born Ceire Ní Ghribín. She travelled to Rafah, Gaza, where she treated children, which is why she stood her ground and doubled down on her socials.

"There were three guys with an Israeli flag who had no reason to be bringing politics into a Scotland vs Brazil game, and I stand by what I said. I was there. It’s a genocide... I should’ve added ‘Free Lebanon’ too."

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

For three days in a row the heat record for June has been broken in the UK.

The same story right across Europe.

Any attempts at this key moment to slow climate action is utterly indefensible. We need day one action to accelerate our climate ambition from Andy Burnham.

[Matt Zarb-Cousin @mattzarb]

Been asked by some journos if I’m “concerned” Andy Burnham will eat into the Green Party’s rising support. If he does so it means he’s got the right policies. If he attracts left-wing voters back to Labour he’ll be doing the right thing for the country. Tribalism is not important

[Aydin Dikerdem @AydinDikerdem]

It’s wild how Gaza is being erased from the narrative surrounding Starmer’s unpopularity. Over 50% of Labour switchers at the locals said it influenced them. It came up on the doorstep over & over again. It’s one of the greatest moral stains of our era. And yet media silence.

[Matt Zarb-Cousin @mattzarb]

Starmer fulfilled his personal ambition of becoming Prime Minister. To do so he betrayed everyone who voted for him in the Labour leadership contest, then he betrayed everyone who voted Labour expecting something resembling a Labour government. No revisionism please, he was shite

[Aydin Dikerdem @AydinDikerdem]

Until the very end, Starmer and his allies will repeat the myth that he inherited a destroyed Party in 2019, despite it winning more votes than they did in 2024.

[Aaron Bastani @AaronBastani]

“Would it not in that case,
Be simpler for the government,
To dissolve the people,
And elect another?”

- Bertolt Brecht, mocking the East German govt / Times columnists on Kier Starmer

[Aaron Bastani @AaronBastani]

Starmer blocked a heavily pregnant Faiza Shaheen from standing for parliament - after she was democratically selected - for entirely bullshit, factional reasons.

But he nearly cried after resigning so a woman’s magazine says he’s a great feminist hero 💩

[Ewan Gibbs @ewangibbs]

Apologists for Starmer are notably avoiding the fact he ran for Labour leadership on a relatively left-wing platform he clearly had no intention of implementing. A very cynical move which has damaged already low levels of public faith in politics even further.

[Zoe Gardner @ZoeJardiniere]

The fact that climate change & how to fix it is not the number one story every single day is proof of something deep & scarily wrong with our society.

[Matthew Todd 🌏🔥 @MrMatthewTodd]

He really was right on time, wasn’t he

[Wokerati Marty @WokeratiMarty]

So Starmer feels "betrayed."

Good. His whole leadership was built on a betrayal of Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour membership.

Live by the sword, die by the sword.

[Collingwood 🇬🇧 @admcollingwood]

Decent man who cares enough about Britain to get off his backside and take care of our natural environment prosecuted by state, headlines should read.

[John McDonnell @johnmcdonnellMP]

Let’s all get real. Keir Starmer’s support even in his own cabinet has collapsed & he’d be humiliated in a leadership election.Streeting has even less support & is in a puerile self promotion exercise. The priority now is the construction of an effective radical policy programme

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Hope the ministerial car was worth selling out the Palestinian people.

[Craig Murray @CraigMurrayOrg]

Among much utter mince uttered by the English Court of Appeal today.
Lady Chief Justice Carr said that the suffragettes were non-violent and did not plan any actions in secret.
Which is so ignorant of history I don't know where to start...

[Tim Farron @timfarron]

It beggars belief that we’re back here again despite all the evidence. If we care about vulnerable people and if we care about being evidence led, we will reject this outright at 2nd reading, put an end to this nonsense and fix palliative care instead.
