BREAKING: The High Court rules Rishi Sunak's climate plan is unlawful, in major victory for green groups.

The campaigners argued that Grant Shapps signed off the government's climate plan to reach Net Zero without any evidence it could actually be achieved.

After I threatened to sue them, the Tories changed their tune and came clean about the third parties they were sharing my data with.

And it's 🤯. glplive.org/xbo

Epic incompetence, sincere belief that rules don’t apply to him or desperate attention-seeking? It’s like he never went away.

Was always going to be (one) problem with going full Ukip: a new Ukip would just tack even further into the performative nastiness. For example, Habib talking about refugees drowning the other day. You can campaign/heckle by Mail Online readers comments, but you can't govern.

The change is slope for the USA in this graph is 1977. The year the US govt. made provisions for private insurance companies to have a say in healthcare.

Everyone else does administration, but America spends 73% of healthcare dollars on 'administration' and profit.

It's almost as though somebody preached rabid individualism above societal harmony, promoted wedge issues to divide us, cut 20,000 police, slashed mental health and social care, and prioritised the political fetishes of billionaires in Belize over the wellbeing of Britons.

Well, here are the terms of reference and attendees of the EWR Economic Growth Board. Still waiting for the meeting minutes which is what we originally asked for. A room full of unelected officials planning our future with no regard for our views. At least we have their names.

Here's how the new Brexit incoming border checks are likely to play out...

1. They will cause initial chaos, of an extent and duration still to be determined.

2. Things will eventually settle into a steady state that's worse than the current situation, but magically 'priced…

Brilliant demolition of Brexit on live TV.

You’d never see this on a BBC vox pop.

The lead story - Austerity + performative cruelty. The second story - Brexit + performative cruelty. What a truly awful government this is. Quiz question for the week … name one part of national life that has improved in 14 years under 5 Tory PMs

1/ Thread of random things to keep in mind when reading these and other stories about the border this week as the UK attempts to start actually enforcing its own regulatory checks.

Untrue. This does touch on something related that actually happened, which people have apparently distorted and used to prop up the dumb conspiracy theory. I will explain… 1/N

1/n: Three facts:

1. Covid vaccines saved 3 million American lives during the pandemic.

2. At least 200,000 Americans needlessly died in 2021-22 because they refused COVID vaccines.

3. Those who perished were victims of a predatory health disinformation campaign.
