Every day is a good day to point out that 92% of Reform's donations were found to come from figures and groups linked to the fossil fuel industry. @desmog.com

Nigel Farage’s Reform Party Has Accepted £2.3 Million from Fossil Fuel Interests, Climate Deniers, and Polluters Since 2019 Election

Reform UK has received more than £2.3 million from oil and gas interests, highly polluting industries, and climate science deniers since December 2019, amounting to 92 percent of the party’s donations...

He needed individual therapy with a no nonsense therapist who wasn't going to take his shit. Dr Orna let him get away with too much in the couple's sessions imo

Yes that is very inkeeping with his behaviour on the show. A very damaged guy who can't take responsibility for healing himself and expecting his wife to do it for him and torturing her because she can't

I watched their sessions on the show, he came across terribly. This piece only cements my view of him

Here's some personal news I'm sharing because why not: 我学习中文 / I'm learning Chinese. I've been taking classes for 6 months, still very much a beginner (not even HSK1 yet) but enjoying it. Also appreciating Chinese culture more, especially food. If you can recommend learning resources, please do!

You can get 29 inch waist COS jeans on Vinted too - that is literally a size 11

Lucy & Yak. They do petite and their size 10 is more generous. Only snag is you have to wash them separately, but I just do an express wash for 20 minutes. COS sizes run bigger so you might be able to wear a 36 and you can try them on in a store. You'll have to take them up though!

‘Ousting Maduro? Trump is the biggest chance we’ve ever had’

The US insists regime change is not its goal after striking a speedboat in its war on drugs, but Venezuela’s true election winner senses a historic opportunity

Ironically María Corina Machado likes Donald Trump. She said the path for Venezuela to follow has been laid out by the Trump administration and has called for Trump to intervene militarily in Venezuela

Sunder it is outrageous that you are experiencing this at all, let alone that you're having to work so hard to get any kind of redress. If there is anything I can do, please let me know. In the meantime I wish you the very best and I'm sorry for the toll this must be taking

The Director of E3G's UK Programme (and my boss) @edmatthew.bsky.social has unpacked why the Conservatives' announcement that they would scrap the Climate Change Act is an act of national sabotage:
www.e3g.org/news/pledge-...

Pledge to axe UK Climate Change Act backfires

The attempts to turn the British public against climate action does not only make no scientific or economic sense, it makes no political sense.

it's the world's third largest emitter. Also about 40% of the world's emissions are created by countries who contribute less than 2% each, so if they all took the attitude that they were powerless in the face of the US and China, we'd all burn. I think it is odd not to mention climate in your piece

If India wants to be a developed country by 2047, it should stop investing in coal and throw the kitchen sink at renewables. Otherwise the effects of global warming will be so catastrophic that there won't be much of a country to develop

Gavin Jackson @gavinjackson.bsky.social · 4d

India wants to be a developed country by 2047, the 100th anniversary of its independence from Britain. But what does that actually mean? I have a go at crunching the numbers.

It is a genuine privilege to work on the UK's energy transition but having to stare in the face every day what the earth is doing compared to what global politicians are doing... Some days that is very hard
