Still waiting for a leader and a cause I can truly believe in.

Sky News science "expert" claims that burying carbon dioxide under the ocean is necessary to stop climate change. "You have to try and stop as much carbon as possible from reaching the atmosphere." "You could plant lots of trees to absorb it, or you bury it underground." "You would quickly cover a small island like the UK in trees if you were going to try and absorb all the carbon produced by aviation, cement factories, and so on." "Burying it under the North Sea... is the best way forward."

Dear @Keir_Starmer please ram your digital ID up your analogue arse. It was not in your manifesto, so no one has had a chance to vote on it. We do not want it and will fight it with all we have.

@TheHughAnthony Effectively Banned Porn! How on earth do you make that assumption? Every kid in the universe knows how to use a VPN to bypass the checks, only idiots like you have to go back to the newsagents now for a copy of Razzle!

People are trying to force Starmer out because the media is telling you he is the devil. The other options around him are 10x worse. Starmer has reduced net-migration by 70%, kept us out of the Iran war, effectively banned Porn, and is nationalising key industries. Say what you want about him, he is a stronger leader than any of the Tories were in 14 years. He should stay the course.

“Let me be clear…I broke numerous promises. I invented a £22 billion black hole to punish pensioners, farmers, the disabled, small businesses and students. I tried to give away Chagos and pay £35 billion to do so. I increased unemployment. I increased the government deficit. I appointed Peter Mandelson despite his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein having already been published in various media outlets. I promised to cut energy bills and council tax, but instead, the opposite happened. I did absolutely nothing to resolve the cost of living crisis and made it worse by increasing the tax burden to record levels. I prioritised hanging out with the Davos / BlackRock clique rather than genuinely ‘fixing the foundations’. I promised a ‘transparency revolution’, but instead, operated under smoke and mirrors and sacked colleagues and threatened suspending Labour MPs who voted against me. I spaffed £30 billion away on carbon capture machines. I failed to sort out the small boats / hotels for illegal immigrants. £3 billion a year to Ukraine and big hugs from Volodymyr. I smeared anyone who dared to criticise me a ‘far-right’. I sanctimoniously lectured everyone like they were naughty children. And I have absolutely no intention of resigning after disastrous local election results because I am right and everyone else is wrong. Me first. Country second.”

Cllr Tom Plater
Cllr Tom Plater@ThomasPlater·
I was in the room for @Keir_Starmer speech this morning. Based on what I saw and how it was delivered, I have only one conclusion. Keir should stay in post. Keir was absolutely in his element, the content of the speech shows that he understands the issues, the actions shows that after certain personnel departures we are now supercharging the right direction. These elections were difficult, in Stevenage although we removed the leader of the Reform UK group from the council, we still lost 9 seats, which is a huge blow from winning 32/39 seats two years ago. We didn’t do enough to convince the public things will get better, but we never will if we are embroiled in our own psychodrama. It is understandable that MP’s right now are getting pressure put on them from councillors, activists and local party members, a lot of whom have been wiped out last weekend, or have close friends and colleagues who have lost their seats. My message to them, is stay strong. If today is any indicator, were are on the right path & you should not put that in jeopardy. Keir Starmer was elected to lead national renewal. If he takes the bold steps he outlined to change how government works, speak clearly about who Labour governs for and why, coupled with the pace of delivery already under way, a second term remains within reach. Swapping leaders will not get us there. That is the clear to me.

One thing I’ve not heard much of in the debate about who should be Prime Minister of our country is the human being at the centre of this, & his family, & the effect of this on them all. The vitriol is off the scale. Show some humanity. People we disagree with are not enemies

The public will not forgive us if we start turning inwards. We were elected with a clear mandate. When we go into the next election with the question of who should run the country: Keir, Kemi, or Nigel - the answer is clear. Keir delivered 2024, he can deliver again.

It’s important that we reflect and respond to these results - we haven’t done enough to offer people hope for the future. In the coming days I’ll be setting out the path ahead.

We must respond to the message that voters have sent us and break with the status quo once and for all. We must confront the big challenges the public face with real answers. That is how we will deliver the change that people are desperate for and build a stronger and fairer country. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

These are tough election results for Labour and I’m sorry to all of those colleagues who have lost their seats. Keir Starmer won a mandate to change our country. We must get on with delivering that mandate - and show how politics can improve people’s lives for the better.

Your car does not run on dead dinosaurs, and I cannot believe we've all just accepted that it does for this long. The fossil fuel story goes like this. Dinosaurs died. Lots of them. In very specific places. At very specific times. Over millions of years they compressed into oil underground. And now we dig it up and put it in a Vauxhall Astra. Lovely. Except. There is a moon orbiting Saturn called Titan. It has seas. Vast, enormous, liquid seas stretching for hundreds of miles across its surface. And those seas are made entirely of hydrocarbons. The same stuff we put in our cars. Now. Titan has no dinosaurs. Titan has never had dinosaurs. Titan is a frozen rock 886 million miles from Earth that has never hosted a single living thing as far as anyone can tell. And it is absolutely drowning in the stuff. Jupiter has a moon with hydrocarbons too. No dinosaurs there either. Funnily enough. Which raises a question that the fossil fuel narrative has never satisfactorily answered. If oil comes from dead organic matter. Where exactly did Titan's come from. The answer, quietly accepted in scientific circles for decades but somehow never mentioned in school, is that hydrocarbons form naturally. From carbon and hydrogen in the Earth's mantle. Under heat and pressure. Without a single Stegosaurus being involved at any stage of the process. Which means the entire premise of oil scarcity. That it's an ancient finite resource slowly running out. That we're essentially burning the Jurassic period one tank at a time. Might be considerably more complicated than anyone has bothered to tell us. We've built entire economies, foreign policies, and wars around the idea that oil is a rare ancient substance we're gradually using up. Meanwhile Saturn's moon is sloshing around in the stuff. Just sitting there. Absolutely heaving with hydrocarbons. With nobody to charge £1.80 a litre for it. Which, now I think about it, might be the most plausible explanation for why nobody talks about this. #petrol #diesel #hydrocarbons #fossilfuels #ukdriving #ukdrivers #energy #science #driving

@MrJamesMay We found a dead mouse in a bucket that had some black fence oil in that I had been using on a log cabin. We did feel very guilty but couldn't help wonder how on earth he managed to get in there.

I know the situation in the Middle East is worrying for British people in the region, and at home. It’s my duty as Prime Minister to keep British people safe. I will be answering questions on the steps we took over the weekend in Parliament. Watch at 3:30pm. parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/83…
