It has been now over 15 years since Gaddafi was killed. There has not been a parliamentary election in over 12 years. There has never been a presidential election, having been delayed for almost 10 years. There is still no legal definition defining the powers of that presidency.

Ramsay and Lucas are offering a masterclass in how to deflect pressure away from your political rivals and back onto your own party. You only behave like this if you care more about internal faction fights than the big picture.

“We need to make the transition as fast as possible, not least because genuinely, the future of our kids depends on this.”
Ellie Chowns makes the case for accelerating the transition to clean, renewable energy following Labour's approval of Jackdaw on #BBCQT.

Only 5,000 kids were surveyed, only 92 were Jewish, only 70 of 92 responded, and 29 said they had faced antisemitism at school. Only 2% said antisemitism was a big problem at their school and we're reclassifying it as a more serious form of racism based on that? Is this a joke?

Much like the Cass Review, the Bell Review cloaks ready-made conclusions in the guise of pseudo-academic inquiry, only this time the government preempted critique by feeding friendly media agreed lines before anyone could comb through it. The truth is out but the damage is done.

Imagine being a school kid and they tell you that a special guest is coming to class to take you all on a trip and due to the Bell report it turns out to be Luke Akehurst who’s come to take you to the Israeli weapons factory he lobbies for.

Complete slight of hand to position "tax the rich" as a demand primarily about changing income tax levels
No, you cannot just "tax the rich". Good illustration by @_HannahRitchie hannahritchie.substack.com/p…

I would question the common sense of prolonging the UK's exposure to volatile gas prices underpinning our energy bills for the next decade.
A "common sense" approach to climate change & clean energy can fend off challenges from the Greens, energy sec Miatta Fahnbulleh told @politicshome
Zack Polanski said Labour had “abandoned all credibility in the fight against climate change" by approving gas drilling at Jackdaw

I'm not sure what Miatta's "common sense" approach will look like when we all share this during the next round of wildfires and floods.
Insulate homes. Invest in renewables. Keep fossil fuels in the ground.

Man, they really will do everything except create some fucking jobs directly.

Sorry but this is *insane* strategy for a government
Very interesting - Pat McFadden tells The Telegraph that young NEETs will be given advice on how to set up their own businesses
I speak to so many young people who dream of being entrepreneurs but, if you’ve never known a business owner and nobody can advise you, how can you begin?
This can lead to young people falling prey to unscrupulous influencers.
This has the potential to be a great thing from government.
Man, they really have decided that annual wildfires are worth it to not impede the fossil fuel companies squeezing the last pennies out of a dying planet.

On the same day as approving new oil and gas fields....
The Labour Government need to take the climate crisis seriously and stop selling the rest of us down the (polluted) river.
