Wind farms are barely a blip on charts of bird deaths. Buildings kill 50 times more birds than wind farms ever will. Cars kill 30x more. Fossil fuel power kills 35x more per GWh. Just one disaster, Deep Water Horizon, killed more than all the wind turbines in the world in a year
The ban was in place for a reason.. this is just 1

The onshore wind ban was the last thing I did in DECC before I left the civil service. Although the planning bit belonged to another bit of government, I still feel quite the sense of relief that it's finally gone, nine years on!
The onshore wind ban has been in place for 9 years. We've been in government for 72 hours, we've lifted it. That's the pace we're going to move at.

This is mad Sunak’s wife set up a company with new Reform MP Rupert Lowe in 2017 It went bust owing north of £6 million & the address that Sunak’s wife Murty was registered at - 83 Victoria Street - is now the registered address for Reform The plot thickens

2 MILLION UK citizens voted Green Party 💚 yesterday (despite many who wanted to vote Green being stuck in a hard place and needing to vote a Labour or LD MP in to get their Con MP out). The Green Party's vote share has MORE THAN DOUBLED. THAT's real Progress to talk about!

Emily Maitlis, "You are funny, let's be honest. You call David Cameron a posh boy but Boris Johnson has been to the exact same school and had the same upbringing, is absolutely fine" Nadine Dorries, "No no no, I have to address that" Emily Maitlis, "They're all very privileged people, but somehow you chose the one you love" Nadine Dorries, "Noooo.. Boris Johnson had no money growing up.. He knows what hardship is like" Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "He went to Eton, what are you talking about" Nadine Dorries, "He went on a scholarship" Rory Stewart, "No he didn't"

Britons' top issues this election: the 'debate' about trans people ranks 18th, below 'other'. Yet journalists keep stoking it & a tiny minority keep cheering them on. The result, in #PrideMonth, is further othering of trans people in public debate. #TransRightsAreHumanRights 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Here are how they rank those same issues in terms of importance for their vote. As every week cost of living and the NHS dominate (selected by more than double the number of people pf other issues) in terms of their importance

One medium-sized street tree produces the same home cooling effect as 10 air-conditioning units running 20 hours a day. Tree-lined streets are the difference between life and death in cities like #Delhi today, & London tomorrow. Me, for @BigIssue...👇 bigissue.com/opinion/heatwav…

So much more imaginative and effective than chucking paint over Stonehenge.
Nigel Farage is in Blackpool today. And after a long night, so is this.

This is so disgusting. Imagine the mindset that made this. People are dying. Afraid. Exploited and desperate. The Tories now chasing Reform to the very hard right and it’s sickening. Just when you think they couldn’t sink any lower …
Don't wake up to this on 5th July.

Stephen Flynn, "When Nigel Farage tells you all that migrants are making you poorer and they're the problem, don't believe him" "Do you want to know the biggest problem facing the UK ecnomy right now? His pet project of Brexit. £40 billion of taxes lost every year because we left the EU" Brexit has made us so poor that neither Labour nor the Conservatives can afford to pay for public services

Jacob Rees-Mogg made £7m from Brexit. Look at his face in this video guilty and arrogant as sin. RT his shame.

No mention of greatest threat facing the UK (climate change) and only a passing reference to the most incredible economic opportunity ahead (clean power) - and baffling to present net-zero as a *cost* off the back of an economic crisis caused in large part by fossil fuel prices.

Don't blame me @taylorswift13, but it's time to talk about the PJs. In a climate & biodiversity crisis, private jets are incompatible with a liveable future – there's a blank space for you on stage at our #RestoreNatureNow demo on June 22, see you there? mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-n…
