Oh my mistake, I thought it was a vigil for Professor Jason Arday sanctioned by his grieving family where Jermaine Jackman who once won the voice sang Coldplay’s fix you (Jason’s mum’s favourite song). Also there were 30k.

Hot hooves strikes again!

This just about sums it up.

Really? They’re going to publish obituaries. What have we become?

Recollections already vary over the threat to #Farage (which caused him to miss out on the Clacton count). Sometimes a threat has come via the police, but confusingly the police said there wasn’t one. Richard Tice is clear that absolutely NOBODY should be questioning any of this and it could be….

Sort of worth waking up early to witness this incredibly naked psychological manipulation and ego. Like an eclipse, it's rare to see. #Farage using the police as a shield to dodge his own count is pure cult leader victimhood /monstrous ego #ClactonByElection

Will he then trundle around in a bus ignoring it though? Once he faces up to the reality, he surely has to address millions of people’s lived experience of climate change this summer. Then that raises some very tricky questions if he is minded to reverse on North Sea fossil fuel drilling.

Soiled diaper?

I’m supporting Chris Sylvester of Getting Clean in Leeds as he enters a bath tub in the city centre for 3 days and nights. 26 years in addiction and a social purpose business leader in recovery. One of THE best communicators on lived experience recovery. Please support @gettingcleansoap

It needs to be said, the telegraph has fought so hard and consistently and bravely to stabilise and reduce emissions, and now regretfully they have lost the war and have decided to throw in the towel. Not all Heroes wear capes.

When will the money switch sides?

This is bound to provoke anger from Kemi Badenoch as homegrown UK fires fail to respect common sense approach to climate disaster (which involves burning more oil and gas).

Kemi Badenoch wants common sense wildfires that respect oil and gas assets, not all this mad net zero stuff.

Siri, show me someone whose retirement portfolio is entirely invested in stranded gas and oil assets.

Fleeing for their lives because we are burning fossil fuels. Climate chaos is coming home. Shame on every news orgs now running live reports on wild fires right now simultaneously shit-stirring on net zero and climate action. #itsComingHomeWILDFIRES

Richly deserved 👍🏼

I for one am immensely reassured by this and any doubts that I may have held previously have been completely assuaged by this post.

Exclusive first look at the cover of JD Vance’s forthcoming book Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith. Very vibey.

Is this ‘greatest stock market in history’ in the room with you now, Donald? Also notable that his pope rant majors on Covid sledging when the obvious and more readily available diss would be the church’s record on child abuse. But maybe he learned from Melania’s presser to keep away from that.

He’s a hare’s breadth from talking directly to the rabbit. Likely he believes it to be Hesgeth.

One of these two has Myxomatosis

Interesting. The Met removed a reference to Tik Tok from its release on the Clapham looting /disorder this week. The Guardian amended its headline. Be interested to know more about that back channelling between TikTok and The Met. Public facing disorder so often just the tip of the iceberg.

Shhhh? Can you hear it? The anti net zero lobby are being drowned out by the clamour for a faster Energy Transition, if only we’d thought of this sooner! open.substack.com/pub/theweath...

Fine as long as you’re also checking in on the women who experience the intimidatory and predatory behaviour by the Wallaces of this world. They also have a very tough time no?

In an occasional series on unfortunate calendar clashes, the uk wife carrying contest takes place in dorking on international women’s day. I suppose it’s day out for the missus.

With thanks to @zackpolanski.bsky.social for this important letter.

The plight of influencers stranded in Dubai is objectively fascinating (and truly I do feel for some but not Nick Candy). As a catastrophiser I’ve thought of all ramifications of global implosion, climate and nature collapse before I’ve even got out of bed. But it never occurred to them.

I’ll be most interested to read people like Dominic Lawson’s take on this in the newspapers this weekend.

Anyway I had a look into it all for my new thing The DARVO Diaries theweathermakers.substack.com/p/the-siegle...
