No doubt Mr Starmer’s top legal team will point out, echoing Adolf Eichmann, that he did not actually do the killing. But it won’t wash any more in 2033 than in 1963. My full article on Labour and the "Climate" Holocaust: https://t.co/LqTqblsUos

In 2021 the daughter of Rudolf Hoss, commandant of the Auschwitz concentration camp, was interviewed: “I still don’t believe it, because there were people on top of him, who made him do this.” “You know that he was responsible. You do know that?” “Well, yes, I guess,” she at

We've heard Labour leaders call for a "conversation" on tax before, and it's led nowhere. But this time might be different. My @TheSpinoffTV latest:

After ruling out a number of taxes at the last election, the Labour leader now says all taxes are back on the table.

Please share this information because it is not being made clear... 1. The collapse of the Atlantic Ocean circulation (AMOC) will be the most devastating event in the last 10,000 years of human history. 2. It will happen overnight with sudden effects. 3. It will be irreversible

.@JohnKerry This is your climate legacy, Sec. Kerry. I am calling on you to use your influence to get us back to a global agreement that can help us avoid a climate collapse. #Cop28 #ClimateActionNow

What could go wrong with sending in massive machines to scrape away the seabed? Other than dead marine life, destroyed ecosystems, and poisoned water, that is. Join the urgent campaign to stop deep-sea mining! #StopDeepSeaMining #DefendTheDeep

Outrageous that @wakakotahi has pressed pause on cycling and walking improvements! Cities for people, not cars. https://t.co/BmKk266bDa

Cycling and walking advocates are dismayed the transport agency has stopped funding projects to encourage walking, cycling and using public transport.

@IsSaddleThereIs @haringeycouncil @IFPedestrians 🚘🚘🚘 AND the lack of care of pedestrians’ interests goes beyond @haringeycouncil’s lack of interest. Rather than promoting changes to road design or to driver behaviour, a car-centric society seeks to address @IFPedestrians’ safety via changes to cars:

New rules and tech could make cars safer for vulnerable road users like pedestrians and cyclists.

Libraries make up just 4% ($54m) of @ChristchurchCC's spend, and all sport/recreation 5% ($74m). Mauger's proposed cuts to @ChristchurchCC's are not about fiscal responsibility. They're part of tired neolib ideology aiming to shrink the commons we share. https://t.co/szk4laRzEd

But city councillors are accusing Christchurch mayor Phil Mauger of paving the way for asset sales by making “dramatic” claims about the council’s dire finances.

Snow Walker is my favourite Canadian film. A brave young Inuit woman shows a rather narrow minded white guy how to survive in the arctic. Drawn for #CanFilmDay

A retired couple who would be only $13 a week better off under National, would be $32 per week better off under the Green Party’s plan. Students who get nothing under National’s plan would get support of $385 a week under the Green Party’s plan. #FairerTax #PartyVoteGreen #nzpol

incredible that they'd so explicitly make those with less, pay more for transport to give their rich mates tax cuts
National will double the price of public transport for people on low incomes/or with a disability to help pay for tax cuts that benefit high income people.
