BREAKING: I’ve had a unique chance to pre-view this major new documentary appearing on ITV this Sunday night, on forever chemicals (PFAS etc). It is a moving and deeply-concerning human story, about a part of the country especially exposed to these dangerous chemicals: …which will just go on accumulating everywhere, forever, unless and until we move collectively to clamp down much harder on them.

The Somerset levels are flood plains…long term resilient engineering that allows them to do their job… as in flood, are essential and ultimately inevitable or huge swathes of property will be overwhelmed.

'We're not getting rid of the water fast enough' I cannot emphasise enough how insane it is to spend barrels of public money pumping water out of a *wetland*. We are draining an ecological treasure to protect some of the crappest farmland in England. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Bessent himself said it 👇 It's just too good, going to war against Iran and the outcome 3 weeks into it is they remove sanctions on Iranian oil. No scenarist could have written that one 😅 x.com/i/status/20346…
Rapid Response 47@RapidResponse47

.@SecScottBessent: In the coming days, we may unsanction the Iranian oil that's on the water. It's about 140 million barrels, so depending how you count it, that's 10 days to 2 weeks of supply, that the Iranians had been pushing out, that would have all gone to China. In essence, we'd be using the Iranian barrels against the Iranians to keep the price down for the next 10 or 14 days, as we continue this campaign. So, we have lots of levers.

Caroline Lucas totally cuts through the cr*p re Iran and Trump/Netanyahu on #bbcQT: the uselessness of the other panellists thrown starkly into view… She gets far stronger applause than anyone else, unsurprisingly, on this.

Unbelievable shite from Reform’s James Orr on #bbcQT: utterly ridiculous to pretend that decarbonisation is responsible for our lack of energy sovereignty now, when the truth is that it is our ongoing dependence on fossil that makes us so vulnerable now. By contrast, Caroline Lucas on it. Renewables, insulation etc is where it’s at. Not stupid pointless efforts to get a bit more out of the North Sea, which won’t even reduce our bills.

"A good place to start is by separating standard of living from quality of life...it’s possible for us to actually preserve, and indeed enhance, our quality of life, if what we do is look at the actual ways people get meaning and joy and purpose." Did you catch the BBC's #MoralMaze last night? We discussed the idea of sacrifice and what it means in today's troubled times. Listen now via the link, if you missed it. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

@GrnElects I’ve been saying consistently for two years, ie since >before< the last general election, that the imminent future of British politics is Greens vs Reform. See e.g bright-green.org/2024/06/19/the… . When I first started saying this, I was mocked for doing so. They aren’t mocking now…
