Colliding a ship into a tanker with US fuel a good start

Utterly plausible. Utterly frightening. The most important thread you'll read this week.

Following the desperately sad news of the passing of former Manchester City captain and manager Tony Book, we reflect on and pay tribute to the remarkable career of a true Club icon. 🩵

We are sorry that green bin collections are being cancelled this week.
Due to weather slowing services down, we need to concentrate resources on other bins that are used more.
Please don't put green bins out for the rest of the week.

A pretty damning first five years of Brexit, quantified here rather neatly.

Musk’s journey from mostly harmless oddball centrist to committed supporter of fascists is neither interesting nor original. But if the world’s richest man and supposed greatest genius can fall victim to such cringeworthy radicalisation, millions of others can too.

Lib Dems - who’ve made care part of their core pitch - say the review should be completed within a year, not three years.
Paul Brand@PaulBrandITV
“Soon there will be nothing left to reform”. Why the care sector is impatient for the government’s new care commission to come up with answers, rather than just recap the same old problems. itv.com/news/2025-01-0…

Note how Telegraph invokes Trump's view of PM's energy policy and Musk's (very factually contested) view of his CPS record as LEAD front page items... skewing coverage from a right wing US perspective to drive clicks and position.

Reform have 5 MPs
On Thu #bbcqt had Farage on(30 odd times now), & today #PoliticsLive has Tice on
Lib Dem’s have 72 MPs….nothing.
Are the BBC now an official campaign network for Reform?

Musk didn’t invent Tesla, he bought it
Musk didn’t invent SpaceX, he bought it
Musk didn’t invent Starlink, he bought it
Musk didn’t invent “X,” he bought it

I’m afraid that I completely agree with @johnkampfner. I cannot understand why this subject has been leading #BBC TV news bulletins. It is a story, but not in my view a story with which to lead bulletins.
Priorities, judgment matter.
John Kampfner@johnkampfner
Oafish behaviour of ridiculous cooking bloke top story for days. With all that's going on in the world - US, MidEast, Ukraine, unrest in Georgia, elections in Ireland, Romania - seen from afar UK media ever more woefully parochial, led sadly by @BBCNews

Kemi Badenoch criticises the mandate to ban the sale of petrol cars, apparently forgetting that she was the one who introduced it.

Insane decision to ever let Mishal go. She is THE BEST.

What’s the point being made here? The Chancellor is the government's chief financial minister so of course she should be reading The Economist & The Financial Times - both of which by the way are legitimate expenses

🚨 NEW: Chancellor Rachel Reeves has charged taxpayers £371 for subscriptions to The Economist and The Financial Times since March

This #Panorama #SmartMeter episode is a great illustration of why the Government has never backed a subscription based BBC. Everyone's home, internet and TV setup is *different*, so it would cost billions to get around this nationwide. It will never happen in my lifetime I reckon

It still seems feasible that the Tories will ultimately come round to a Rejoin stance before head-in-sand Labour, still kneecapped by "Make Brexit Work".

“In one measure, closer arrangements with Europe are just common sense, they are a nearby trading partner” said David Davis. He’s not quick, but he’s getting there. thelondoneconomic.com/politics/uk-br…

It doesn’t mean we can’t limit the damage because the 1,5 degree max target is an average over 20 Years but getting here this soon is really not good news. Denying Climate Chaos won’t stop it happening. Words do lots of things but they won’t fix this.

Never has this been truer. Labour needs to step up, wake up, show up, and get us back on the path to EU membership, in whatever form can be agreed. Blair was right then and is right now. Come on, sort yourselves out. Your economic growth doesn’t exist.
