A tech company with unstoppably rising emissions buying up "carbon removal" credits from Occidental Petroleum: company that has explicitly said it's using carbon removal to enable more fossil extraction How are people working in carbon removal celebrating this??? carbonherald.com/microsoft-50...

Just a reminder that Adam Smith in 1776 warned that once any private entity got big enough it wouldn't show any loyalty or adhere to any values of its "home" country. This is capitalism working exactly as it is expected to.

The phantom Reform candidates thing will be really funny on two counts if it's true: 1. Reform and their predecessor parties always claim there's electoral fraud when they don't win seats 2. Fake people outpolled the Tory and Labour Parties in some places.

JUST IN: Polls closed in France. Exit polls show surprise: —Left coalition (New Popular Front) projected first. (!) —Far-right (RN) has lost its bid to take power. Anti-RN front appears to have worked very well. —No bloc close to majority. Follow this 🧵 for results and more:

Explosive reporting in Le Monde confirms what was apparent all week: Macron resisted the emergence of anti-far-right front after round 1. His PM, Attal, forced it as a fait accompli, & pressured for drop outs to block RN. Even then, Macron made some phone calls to undercut it.

Hilary Cass has been appointed to the House of Lords but must provide proof she has lived as a Lord for two years and have a diagnosis of democracy dysphoria before she is allowed to take her seat.

Reader: I unfriended them Has been years since I last saw them at any political meeting. Last time I saw them they were pushing through a picket line I was supporting. Lol, solidarity comrade!

Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools. Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.

Remember how the "retail theft crime wave" disappeared as soon as companies had to do their annual reports? That's because it's illegal to lie to shareholders. AI is booming (if you're a pleb) but if you have money - Goldman Sachs will be honest with you instead web.archive.org/web/20240629...

Yeah this is why independents decapitated several prominent figures, and shadow ministers now have three digit majorities 👍👍👍 Still, I'm just some hard left thug and not a very smart politics understander, so what do I know?

Pretty sure that winning seats and not focusing on vote share was Labour's tactic, you know. It paid off

UK Labour's last three vote counts, percentages and seats. Man that's one fucked up voting system. 2024: 9,650,254 / 33.8% / 411 2019: 10,269,051 / 32.1% / 202 2017: 12,877,918 / 40.0% / 262

Here's the thing. Obviously a huge attack vector here is the far right completing their takeover of the Tory party, then relying on the media to dog Starmer every day about migration. The Labour right, of course, are both racist and weak so this will work.

It's not quite done here but Labour went from twenty points plus ahead to a ten point lead in six weeks. And that Reform vote is a lot of that Tory vote. Look at those numbers and tell me this Labour majority is one that lasts another election.

Seeing a former twitter mutual, an "anarcha feminist" saying "at least tumgs won't get worse on purpose now" and all I can say is AH HA HA HA HA. What the fuck happened to so many anarchists?

Kelly-Jay Keen aka Posie Parker received 196 votes in the electorate she stood for, meanwhile, this woman won the seat with over 24,000 votes

Is it also antisemitic to criticise this?

Nicko's election plee, if you're in Thangum's seat, vote Green. It doesn't matter in a wider sense but the fallout out would be pure banter

As I keep saying, I've never seen anyone other than UKIP being so furiously angry that they're going to win

I guess it's easier to say this if you're not from a demographic the party leader thinks have too many rights and wants to chat amicably with people who want you locked up for existing
