in a shocking twist, climate change is infinitely more disruptive and deadly than the actions of those trying to thwart it! good job we threw them all in jail though!

“Nazis clash with Jews during Kristallnacht”
One of the most repulsive, inaccurate and frankly embarrassing headlines in the history of the Daily Telegraph. It has appalled many of its own journalists. It is beneath contempt.

The UK pledges £40m to help countries devastated by climate breakdown. That's equivalent to 0.07% of the family wealth of the UK Prime Minister. That's how seriously our leaders take the greatest threat our species has ever faced & how much they care about those on the frontline.

The UN says as many as 120 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since Hamas' attack in Israel. @mattfrei speaks to Palestinian families choosing to ignore the threats and intimidation of Israeli settlers, and those being forced from their homes.

Upsum of rhetoric so far at #cpc23 Tory MP: No one should have their children eaten by lions. It’s horrifying . Questioner: but no one is suggesting that ? Tory Mp: no. But people are concerned. So we must make clear we are the party of anti child eating lions !

Road legislation has always created a backlash from a noisy minority who don't want to change. Its been the case with seat belts, drink drive laws, 70mph motorway limits. and now 20mph. Clicks on petition pages do not invalidate science and best practice #20splenty
