Today's must-read: "lobbyists working for major North American oil and gas companies were key architects of anti-protest laws that increase penalties and could lead to non-violent environmental and climate activists being imprisoned up to 10 years." theguardian.com/us-news/2024/s…

I‘d very much prefer he’d stop saying ‚I’ll make Brexit work‘ It’s dishonest. You can’t make it work. You can only undo it. Or at least admit it was a mistake. Everything else is tactical gaslighting.
