Rupert Murdoch’s fossil fuel propaganda rag “The Times” being in full fossil fuel disinformation mode:
And today it's the turn of The Times to try and patronise us all.

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.
For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.
The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

Great to hear London Labour MPs panicking about losing their seats to the Green Party.
For clarity, though - this goes way beyond just London.
Across England & Wales, we're saying lower bills, tax billionaires and we're ready to take on Reform.

Labour were broken a long time ago.
Time to replace them with a party that actually represents everyone - not just the billionaires.
A party that rejects Reform - rather than copies them.
Time to make hope normal again.

He ditched the Green New Deal the moment he took power; invented 'grey belt' to build over green; slashed regs & fast-tracked Heathrow's 3rd runway: Keir Starmer is rattled, caught in a pincer movement between Left & Right with no one to blame but 'centrism' itself. He's coming for Zack. Personally.

More than two million households living under Reform-run councils face tax rises of £127 million next year. Before the election they promised to bring down council tax by cutting wasteful spending. But Durham, Kent, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Leicestershire & Lincolnshire are all putting up rates

Almost 100% of children in 73 neighbourhoods in England are living in income-deprived families.
Labour could choose to lift hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty immediately by scrapping the two-child benefit cap.

Hey, remember when Farage said immigration was suppressing wages and people should vote for Brexit to be better off?
Well here he is, having got his Brexit, saying he’d lower wages himself if he became PM!
