We at @desmog.com did an interactive map of the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) network, in case of interest. It includes their fossil fuel donors. Scroll down here: www.desmog.com/2026/06/24/r...

There’s a big gathering of right-wingers in London this week with Nigel Farage & Kemi Badenoch They call it “Alliance for Responsible Citizenship” As @desmog.com & @unearthed revealed, it’s funded by oil & gas investors & Trump donors Friends fear he’s made a map www.desmog.com/2026/06/18/m...

Robert Hughes on David Hockney (in 1972): “Hockney makes a delicate caricature of high seriousness … his paintings occupy a very fine edge between poignancy and burlesque, submitting neither to the expressionist flavor of one nor to the cartooning of the other.” time.com/archive/6639...

PSA: Here's how the anti-net zero sausage gets made: 1. Oil companies fund climate denial groups 2. which incubate fake experts 3. who write policy papers for 'think tanks' 4. which get blurbed by politicians 5. & reported uncritically by right-wing media. Voila! www.desmog.com/2026/01/28/c...

“Public opinion” doesn’t form in a vacuum. A majority of GB News, ITV & BBC viewers think net migration is increasing… … when it has actually dropped by half. 🥸 www.theguardian.com/media/2025/o...

Reform says it wants to drill in the North Sea so the UK is not dependent on foreign oil. Is that why its climate panel is sponsored by the Heartland Institute, a U.S. think tank funded by ExxonMobil? 🤔 www.desmog.com/heartland-in...

This is very unfair. Nigel Farage is a man of refined tastes, and can’t be expected to subsist on a measly £91,000 per year. He has every right to earn an extra £980,000 from his side hustles. And who are we to disagree? www.desmog.com/2025/07/15/w...

Hello @sundersays.bsky.social I don’t know what you’re screenshotting here, but it’s a misrepresentation of Martin Amis, who is describing a view not his own. Here are the lines immediately preceding this excerpt, transcribed from the doc, which is on YouTube (see image): youtu.be/IZDUQYAYepo?...

❓Who does Nigel Farage work for? Since 2024 election: £93,904 — MP salary (8.7%) £981,173 — outside income (91%) GB News (£394k) Direct Bullion (£280k) Cameo (£134k) Telegraph (£48k) Nomad Capitalist (£40k) News Corp Australia (£25k) Arizona LibertyNetwork (£25k) www.desmog.com/2025/07/15/w...

The point Starmer tried (& failed) to make at PMQs: “Badenoch was trying to act tough in defence of Israel & Ukraine. Instead she declared what their worst enemies allege — that they are puppets of the West!” I wrote abt this last wk (scroll to 2nd item)👇 adambarnett.substack.com/p/liz-truss-...

‘Mapped: 70% of Trump’s cabinet tied to Project 2025 groups’ Excellent work by @joefassler.bsky.social @desmog.com www.desmog.com/2025/06/02/m...

ICYMI Kemi Badenoch: ‘Israel is fighting a proxy war on behalf of the UK, just like Ukraine is on behalf of Western Europe against Russia.’ It’s quite something to echo both Kremlin and Hamas propaganda in a single sentence. adambarnett.substack.com/p/liz-truss-... (scroll to 2nd item)

Albatross! Get yer albatross! The Definite Article #2 adambarnett.substack.com/p/liz-truss-...

“Prose this dead should not be on public display. If they hadn’t pinned it to the wall it would be pushing up the daisies.” The Definite Article #1 tinyurl.com/4r5rw4xc

Kemi Badenoch also has ties to climate deniers and fossil fuel money. - The Conservatives have received a fortune from polluting interests. - KB’s leadership bid was backed by the Global Warming Policy Foundation. Receipts👇 www.desmog.com/2025/03/18/k... @desmog.bsky.social 2/2

Yes, Kemi Badenoch was for net zero before she was against it. In fact, falsely calling net zero “impossible” is arguably KB’s FIFTH position on the target. Here’s a timeline👇 www.desmog.com/2025/02/28/k... @desmog.bsky.social 1/2

Reform MP Richard Tice claimed on Question Time that net zero would cost “30 to 40 billion a year”, adding “don’t lie to the public.” In fact the Climate Change Committee report he cites said £4 billion (0.2% of GDP) & most could come from the private sector. 🤔 www.theccc.org.uk/publication/...
