Your reminder (should you need one) that the #Tories are crap at spreadsheets and not to be trusted on the cost of #NetZero. Austerity was also perpetuated by Cameron and Osborne on research which included a basic blunder on a spreadsheet. The cost of not attempting NetZero is far greater…and there are benefits to be gained for all in terms of health and maintaining our environment. https://www.carbonbrief.org/factcheck-uk-conservatives-double-the-cost-of-net-zero-after-spreadsheet-blunder

Factcheck: UK Conservatives double the ‘cost of net-zero’ after spreadsheet blunder - Carbon Brief

A booklet published by the UK’s opposition Conservative party includes a “cost of net-zero” that appears to have been doubled…

“[UK] TORIES TOOK £1.3 MILLION FROM FIRM LINKED TO ISRAELI SETTLEMENTS” by Martin Williams and Dania Akkad in Declassified UK @uk_politics @UKLabour@mastodon.cloud @thegreenparty @palestine@fedibird.com @Palestine@masto.ai @palestine@lemmy.ml @palestinenews@gts.liberated.press “The Conservative Party took £1.3m in donations from a business linked to the destruction of Palestinian villages – before opposing new sanctions on Israeli settlements last month.” [..] “Peter Frankental, Amnesty International UK’s economic affairs director, said: ‘JCB’s products have been used in the demolition of Palestinian homes and the expansion of illegal settlements. That makes them part of the machinery of ethnic cleansing and apartheid – and that cannot be ignored.’” https://www.declassifieduk.org/tories-took-1-3-million-from-firm-linked-to-israeli-settlements/ #Press #SocialMedia #Journalism #JCB #Bamford #Donations #Tories #Badenoch #Gaza #PalestinianGenocide #Zionism #SettlerColonialism #Resistance #EradicateZionism #DecolonizePalestine #GlobaliseTheIntifada #Israel

It’s right to highlight how #Sunak and #Starmer ‘s governments were completely asleep at the wheel on #wildfire risk and preparedness…but which ministers and departments dropped the ball? The Fire Service is currently overseen by Minister for Building Safety, Fire and Resilience…but under #Tories was Minister for Crime, Policing and Fire? Where is #Defra in all of this? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/oct/04/government-dropped-plan-england-countryside-wildfires

Banning journalists from reporting on parties in the UK seeking election seems to be all the rage - Reform, now the Tories. When will Labour catch up? https://bylinetimes.com/2026/09/30/kemi-badenochs-conservatives-ban-byline-times-from-conference-after-condemning-reform-for-journalist-ban/ #Journalism #Tories #Ban #BylineTimes #UK #Media #PressFreedom

Kemi Badenoch's Conservatives Block Byline Times From Conference After Condemning Reform for Journalist Ban

The ban comes just weeks after the Conservative leader called Reform's barring of critical journalists from their conference an "authoritarian" attack on the free press

Political donations have always been about buying favour and privilege. A true democracy would not be dependent on donations. They undermine concept everyone has one vote and those votes count equally (they don’t in the UK also because of FPTP). Notice that neither #Labour nor #Tories are suggesting political donations be banned from UK residents - just capped. #Reform are just making clear how obscene and undemocratic political donations are by the scale of those they accepted. #ukpol
