Sorry. This is nuts. A presenter on a news channel uses platform to advance a conspiracy theory about a cancer in children linked to vaccines which is baseless, and OFCOM says it’s fine. If facts don’t matter on a news channel, then where are we?

I know from experience that many of you don't want to hear this. But, as always, we should be prepared to recognise and embrace uncomfortable truths. The latest findings about the health effects of woodburning stoves are simply horrendous.

A favour everyone. Twitter/X is again unfollowing people from accounts they like without them knowing. I’ve no idea if it’s deliberate, a bug or a glitch but if you don’t want to miss any of my films & reports do check you are still with me & please RT to raise awareness🙏
Make no mistake: the Tories’ introduction of voter ID is designed to rig the next election by stopping younger and historically marginalised people from voting. Do not let them.

The Joseph Rowntree Foundation @jrf_uk poverty report out today makes grim reading, millions'd need to DOUBLE incomes to escape poverty & over 14m in the UK fit its poverty defintion:- https://t.co/FdSpphNZr7
It asked me in advance for a comment in its press release, I added
"I warned at the start of the energy crisis that I was out of tools to help many on the lowest incomes.
"Now we have hit the stark reality that 100,000s of people in the UK, even after they've had professional help from money charities, are still deficit budgeting – so their income is less than their minimum necessary expenditure. Definitions of poverty are tricky, especially when based on relative incomes, but that smells like a clear indication the problem is getting worse.
"And let's be plain, once people are in the deepest mire, it's not a Money Saving Expert you need, it's policymakers and regulators to sit up take note and address these deep-rooted problems – which is exactly what I hope they do with this Joseph Rowntree Foundation report highlighting the situation and calling for change."
It’s 100 days until the Mayoral election.
The Tories have changed the way Londoners vote – remember:
🚨 You need to show photo ID at the polling station
🚨 You can only vote once - there is no second preference
Without much stronger action, demand for fossil fuels is set to remain too high to keep the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C in reach 🌡️
Under today’s policy settings, global emissions are on track to push up temperatures by around 2.4 °C 👉 https://t.co/1OFnI0dhKA
One month before Russia invaded Ukraine, I stood trial at the High Court. And now I wait, in purgatory, to be judged.
But I believe this trial and the silence around it - & all the Kremlin's men - has revealed something profoundly rotten at the heart of the British state.

@DrTELS Every evening in winter when I walk the dog, the wood burner smoke is so strong it catches in my throat and makes me cough. Both of us smell strongly of burnt wood after just a short walk.
- Domestic solid fuel burning is now the largest source of UK particulate pollution, overtaking traffic
- Government monitoring networks are not designed for static suburban pollution sources
- Citizen science is filling the gaps

"Too much of British journalism remains an elite closed club. Close to power & influencing it; while claiming to have none but playing victim when scrutinised in the slightest. Its ability to distort our society is one of the biggest scandals of our time"

BREAKING - #Rosebank oilfield just given go-ahead - the greatest act of environmental vandalism in my lifetime, causing emissions equal to 28 lowest income countries, busting #climate targets & doing nothing for energy security since vast majority is for export #climatecriminals
Two front page headlines today. This says all you need to know about Govt’s total disconnection from climate reality. Green pledges don’t need watering down, but ramping up in speed & scale, investing in a liveable future & taking everyone along with us. He’s failing miserably.
