Nuclear power looked dead.
Plants shut down. Activists celebrated.
Turns out they celebrated too soon. Watch nuclear’s comeback here:

@PolitlcsUK I can see the promise to "tread lightly on your lives" is going well. The most authoritarian UK government since Cromwell and the most farcical.

🚨 NEW: The Government is now set to raise the state pension age to 68 in 2037 - seven years earlier than originally planned

Reminder: you don’t pay for your state pension. Younger workers pay for your benefits.

@roseveniceallan They keep on implimenting patronising all women short lists and are yet to have a female leader, while the Conservatives who don't have had 4.
English
As a woman who was suspended by labour for simply saying what a woman is, I can tell you that they will never have a female leader because it’s the most sexist boys’ club that exists
English
Voting, marry, joining the military, signing contract, buying alcohol/tobacco/cannabis/vapes, gambaling and getting a tattoo should all be 18. If you are considered an adult at that age you should get all the rights and responsiblities that come with it. It is the most coherent, logical and consistant position.
English
@Admalez Disagree. Different rights come with different responsibilities and have different effects on third parties. I'd like to, for example, reduce the school leaving age back to 14 without reducing the voting age or age of consent also to 14
English
There should be a consistent age of majority across the board. You are either an adult or not. None of this nonsense of setting inconsistant limits based upon whatever is most politically expedient.
Richard@2AAtheist
If you want 16 year olds to vote I’m going to assume every idea you have is retarded.

@cjsnowdon I am sure the economists in ASH can come up with a scary "lost productivity" figure to show why you are wrong.

None of this would be necessary if we simply let people smoke.

@JakeWSimons This kind of stuff is why I don't donate to major charities anymore. Even if I agree with their main stated goal, I don't want my money going to causes I disagree with. There is way too much mission creep going on.

Charities are just not charities any more are they

This is your legacy on the occupied Palestinian territory, Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer. History will remember your complicity. Despite a partial arms suspension in 2024, Keir Starmer's government has continued to enable Israel's atrocities against Palestinians, their families and children through the supply of F-35 fighter jet parts. Nothing can change the horrors Palestinians have faced. But the next Prime Minister has an opportunity to put an end to the UK Government's role as an ally to atrocities. The UK Government must: 🔴 Suspend all arms sales to Israel 🔴 Suspend the UK-Israel trade and partnership agreement 🔴 Ban trade with illegal Israeli settlements To the next Prime Minister: what will your plaque say?

Can’t wait to have to log into every social media app and upload photo ID just to turn off my Keir Starmer state-mandated bedtime. Very normal country.

Datacenters produce basically zero pollution. That's why they're "allowed" to do that. Your commute produces more pollution.
Wall Street Apes@WallStreetApes
🚨 Data Centers in Ohio are preparing to discharge their water usage directly into lakes and streams and the EPA is working on permits to let them do it “The Ohio EPA is drafting permits to let that wastewater flow straight into our lakes and streams. Five year permits, no guarantee of a sewage treatment plant on site, just straight into the river if that's what's nearby” This is very real, the EPA is actually doing this, and there are real concerns: Concerns raised by residents include - Thermal pollution: Hot water can harm aquatic life. - Chemicals: Potential for biocides, metals, or other additives. - Massive withdrawals and discharges of water strain local water bodies, especially during droughts - Environmental groups like Great Lakes groups warn of risks to drinking water, recreation and ecosystems

Aisle seat. I don't like having to ask people to move if I need the toilet. Besides, window is useless most of the flight.

@vulpine2020 @PolitlcsUK Most of them are going to vote Green if they can be bothered to vote. I don't think extending it to 16-17 year olds is the win Labour are hoping for. Especially when they are doing a good job of alienating them.
English
@Admalez @PolitlcsUK Unfortunately most 16 year olds are not very perceptive. They’re not yet fully equipped to vote.

Millions and millions of young British men and women were failed in the most appalling way through lockdown. The blame lies with lockdown, definitely NOT with COVID. I will not forget, and nor should you.
English
@vulpine2020 @PolitlcsUK I am most certainly put off voting Labour by their constant economic destruction and regular desire to needlessly intrude into people's lives.
English
@Admalez @PolitlcsUK They might see something that puts them off voting Labour

One thing I know Ann Widdecome would absolutely take issue with is the diminution of the freedom of speech under the pretext of clamping down on ‘hate’. She wouldn't want her death hijacked by that. She'd make it absolutely clear that one person's apprehension of ‘hate’ is another's robust articulation of an unpalatable truth; and that we should be free to offend and cause offence, and those who take offence at the reasonable expression of belief should grow up. Civility is important, but the slightest whiff of ‘hate’ is now met with allegations of incivility, of which she was herself often accused. Her tolerance of “hate propagated online” would be far, far higher than that of any Labour (or LibDem) MP.
Lucy Powell MP@LucyMPowell
Earlier today I paid tribute to Ann Widdecombe, called for more civility in political debate and for further action to tackle hate propagated online.
