You learn something new every day. But some things you wish you didn't have to know. Yet here we are. It's time to end the fossil fuel era.

The utterly insane wastefulness of fossil fuels: For the usable heat we get out of oil, >60000< times as much 'waste-heat' is thereafter trapped by the carbon they release. A statistic to change the world with. A truth-bomb. Do pass it on...

Sooooooo out of his depth… in this softball interview, Sunak looks by turns desperately anxious and like a naive ultra-posh schoolboy… Can’t wait for Greens, LDs & Labour to cream the Cons in May’s elections… It is going to be a sweet moment… Make sure you have ID, everyone!

Do we dare to accept our colossal mistake? Do we have the will and ability to do something about it?

Suella Braverman broke the ministerial code. Sunak put her back in the Cabinet a few days later. So did Priti Patel. Johnson promoted her. You can see why Zahawi thought he could style it out. Bunch of cocky chancers propelled to power on the turbo-charged bollocks of Brexit…

As I’ve been saying for many years: Do not make the mistake of taking the Telegraph to be a newspaper. It is a β€˜newspaper’ in roughly the same sense that the Daily Sport is. It has some bits of news in it. But it’s mostly dangerous sh*te, plenty of it merely nasty editorialising.

This pic was created to try to prove the bath was too small for Andrew to suck a teenage girl's toes in It actually demonstrates the opposite (left could easily put their foot near right's face) Telegraph uncritically prints this nonsense on their front page

We are all on the climate frontline. We must collectively rethink and change habits, I would love for my niece and nephew to grow up in a kinder world.

And here we are…

I wonder whether Zahawi has reached critical mass for Sunak. If he goes, Sunak’s failure to get across the facts & act sooner looks awful. If he somehow clings on, the stench of sleaze will be unbearable. Again, it’s the threat to sue for accurate reporting that’s indefensible.

"Is it careless? Is it bad judgement? Or does it just reflect badly on the Prime Minister?" With our country in the midst of a cost of living crisis, Rishi Sunak should have ended this a week ago - but has demonstrated that yet another Tory is unfit for the job. #BBCLauraK

Congrats to the 81% who guessed right in my poll. It was certain that Zahawi would be fired. NOW, HE HAS BEEN. (And: is a has-been.) #Sleaze The awful, awful sense of >entitlement< among these filthy-rich who β€˜lead’ us. That’s why they keep breaking the law, Sunak included.

Golden! Zahawi does funny business - tax evasion - with YouGov shares… and now it’s a >YouGov< poll that shows that most Brits, overwhelmingly, think he has to go…

By 51% to 12%, Britons say Nadhim Zahawi should resign from his role as Conservative party chairman (36% are unsure) Tory voters also say he should stand down, by 41% to 25% yougov.co.uk/topics/politic
