#OnThisDay 1984. Police use riot gear for the first time during the #MinersStrike as 69 pickets and police were injured at Orgreave It is the worst violence seen since the 12 week old strike began.

I'm old enough to remember when the IPCC was warning we would hit 1.5C by 2040. That was 3 years ago. Now there's a chance we'll see a yearly average above 2C by... 2030. And from our 'leaders'... tumbleweeds. wmo.int/files/wmo-glob…

Not for me to raise questions about Robert Jenrick’s own dedication to  law & order. But maybe journalists could ask him about when he admitted to deliberately helping a Tory donor & approving a £1bn east London housing development ' unlawfully ' 😲bigissue.com/news/housing/t…

When the penny finally drops at just how much beauty & wonder we’re exterminating to serve a psychopathic economic system, who & what will be left to hear it?

Interesting Fact of the Day: If Robert Jenrick were to catch 50 fare dodgers a day, recouping £2.90 each time for the taxpayer, it would take him well over 1,000 years to recoup the amount the taxpayer lost when he helped a major Tory donor avoid a £45m tax bill back in 2020.

To those who say ‘we will adapt’ - regardless that scientists say we can’t fully - it’s psychopathic to burn and distort nature, endanger all life on Earth, including our own, just so that the richest people that ever lived can get a little richer. Can you not see that?

Britain just had its warmest spring ever (in recorded history) and the driest in over 50 years. Drought is surely coming. We need publicly owned water companies, more green energy, electric travel and to eat less meat. independent.co.uk/weather/uk-wea…
