Rishi Sunak has claimed that to pay a 10% pay rise to all public sector employees will cost each household in the UK £1,000. This is what I call CRAp - which stands for a ‘completely rubbish approximation’ to the truth. Let me explain…a thread…

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

One of the BBC’s fundamental problems is that it cannot tell the difference between balance and impartiality. Here’s a concise explanation of where the difference lies:

Powerful thread by @Bankfieldbecky on the framing of debate around the Whitehaven coal mine that has so wrongly just been given the go-ahead by UK government.

[Andrew Wainwright @wainwra]

Literally unbelievable. I had thought Sunak had more brains. https://t.co/e13DwRUTT2

1/. As freezing temperatures hit, we put a clothes rail outside a church with a sign:

IF YOU'RE COLD, TAKE ONE

IF YOU CAN HELP, LEAVE ONE

What happened next was miraculous

The rail filled with warm clothes

Rough sleepers helped themselves

The rail was replenished every day

[Stefan Simanowitz @StefSimanowitz]

1/. “If you're cold, take one. If you can help, leave one"

5 years ago, #TakeOneLeaveOne launched our first rail

Since then, 150+ have sprouted across the UK

On Friday, with temperatures plummeting, we’re having our press launch 1-2pm, at @ToloVauxhall

@sascampaigns Of course, I'm sure it would be illegal to block these outlets. Not suggesting it.

But one might think a bigger crime is allowing shit to be dumped on the beaches.

[Andrew Wainwright @wainwra]

@sascampaigns Presumably the water company would have to send a team to each beach, to release the sewage. The team removing the blockage would see the sewage flow onto the beach when they were "successful." That would be a shitty job.

I just realised that my last video destroys the idea that Brexit was ever 'democratic' in UNDER A MINUTE!

So send this to anyone still making that argument.

A thread for those who think we're going to be importing lots of hydrogen over vast distances.

1. Shipping liquid hydrogen is not going to be a thing. To understand why, you need to understand that hydrogen is basically liquid, -253C escapey, explodey expanded polystyrene.

I really thought I was going to burst a blood vessel with this one. Health Secretary Steve Barclay deliberately misleading the public with absolute boll**** on nurses pay.

Our nurses deserve so much better than this. Let’s make sure people know the facts

NEW:

Nigel Farage has confirmed that Reform UK plans to stand a full slate of candidates in the next general election and there will be no deals with the Conservatives.

[David Conn @david_conn]

The @GoodLawProject relentless pursuit of transparency over government Covid contracts uncovered the existence of the "VIP" lane for politically-connected companies, and forced the government to publish the names of the companies and the "VIP"s who referred them. Incredible work.

#BREAKING This is historic! The @Europarl_EN calls for the EU to exit the Energy Charter Treaty. 🔥 This is the final signal to @EU_Commission - no majority in EP and Council for the reform. The EU needs to exit the ECT! Victory for the climate!

We are 636 young people in @auroramalet who are suing the Swedish state for insufficient climate action.

”When the state carries out climate policy that threatens our human rights, it breaks the law.”
