Here's Michael Fabricant, who was handed a knighthood last year by Boris Johnson for "political and public service" to the nation, sharing a racist AI-generated video posted by the leader of the far-right group Britain First

Great Britain wastes billions of pounds switching off wind turbines & wasting clean energy. Zonal energy pricing would put that energy to work & make bills cheaper.

But what's that got to do with the price of fish?!

If you’re a Guardian or Observer reader, please share this. The need for a strong, free & independent press couldn’t be greater. Yet, here it is. The billionaire Scott Trust is preparing to push a core part of the Guardian over the cliff into the hands of speculators & profiteers

The climate crisis would also ruin the landscape. The status quo is not an option.

@Briantolley10 @jruddy99 @ToryWipeout You are out a factor of 10 somewhere in thh HC at calculation. £2M/£10k=200

The decision to invest €30-million in the world’s biggest bike parking (12,500 spaces) at Utrecht Central Station seems extravagant, but when you calculate the cost of the alternatives—in the context of tens of thousands of bike-train trips each day—it’s an absolute bargain...🧵

[Peter Walker @peterwalker99]

In a rare outing for our opinion site, I’ve written about why councils seeking to ban bikes from city centres due to delivery bikes are treating it as a “cycling problem” when it’s actually a law enforcement problem - these are mainly electric mopeds.

Big Oil isn’t investing in renewables because you can make enormous profits from scarce oil and gas but can’t from abundant #WindWaterSolar.
Reeves must be bold:
✅Big tax hike for fossil fuels
✅Remove fossil fuel subsidies
✅Big tax rebate for renewables

The 20,000% spike at £100,000 is absolutely not a joke - someone earning £99,999.99 with two children under three in London will lose an immediate £20k if they earn a penny more.

The practical effect is clearer if we plot gross vs net income:

A study found new homes with heat pumps, solar panels & battery would typically save £46,600 on energy over 25 years

Installing is straightforward. Retrofitting would cost 5 times as much - when cost would fall on the householder not the housebuilder

This NHS wheelchair rental scheme raises serious concerns under the Equality Act 2010:

1. It discriminates against disabled, elderly and other groups of patients who may lack credit cards required for access.

2. It charges £2/hour during long A&E waits with no info or apparent process for refunds, despite hospital claims they can reclaim.

This is yet another blatant barrier to accessing essential healthcare and a further disturbing step towards creeping privatisation and a two-tier system that prices out the most vulnerable. #WheelCharge 🦼

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

When you dig into the hidden detail of the government's carbon capture and storage programme, the sheer scale of fiscal and environmental irresponsibility is hard to comprehend. We could be on the hook for £50 billion, with zero benefit. My column. 🧵 https://t.co/bXDZkX3cYK

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

When it comes to a Green New Deal people ask: “How will you pay for it?”

As though we're not paying for it now in loss of life & billions of dollars in destruction.

The Green New Deal isn't radical.

Transforming our energy system saves lives, saves money & saves the planet.

I just can't emphasise this enough.

"Southern Water plans to pay out £275m in dividends despite rising debt pressures."

So @SouthernWater say they need to borrow £4bn and @ofwat is about to approve putting up customer bills by 44%, oh and they still managed to payout £275m in dividends. You're being had.

Highly impressive news from Suffolk. The council have setup a £3million 0% green loan scheme! Households can borrow £15,000 to help cover the upfront cost of net zero technologies like heat pumps, solar panels, insulation & EV chargers. With @lendologycic https://t.co/xO86SLaFJN

You’re the one in charge now, @bphillipsonMP.

So who’s dithering, delaying and letting down our children now?
