Like watching a country commit suicide in slo-mo motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
If these exits hold, more than a win for Boris/Tories it's a loss for Corbyn/Labour. Oh and keep your eyes on Scotland independence movement.
If you really want to depress yourself, listen to this episode of The Daily in which a buffoonish Boris runs on a simplistic slogan, and his voters think they'll get the England of 1960 when he and his cronies want to create a Singapore in the North Sea nytimes.com/2019/12/12/pod…
In the big "what if" history department, what if Labour had put somebody else in charge of its party.
Brutal quotes in here about Corbyn from other Labour potliticians theguardian.com/politics/2019/…

Don’t have a tree yet? Instead of killing one get a potted tree via @SFUrbanForester, which will plant it after the holidays are over:
Or get a house tree and decorate it every year, like us
Listen the whole cut fir tree tradition only came to the US via the German wife of George III. Jesus didn’t have a tree and if he did it would have most like been a palm or olive tree. Decorating for the holidays is a fun tradition but you can do it in a greener way.

Despite the non-binding nature of the plan, the hearing featured plenty of pushback, including, most notably, from former District One supervisor Jake McGoldrick, who told commissioners, “The western side of the city should not be raped.”

The whole damn city should be upzoned. It doesn't mean that your single family house will be razed for skyscrapers ffs. It just means that greater density is *possible*

This is the tipping point I dread the most
We published a beautiful terrifying piece on the climate tipping points back in 2006. All still holds, just risks are greater now: motherjones.com/environment/20…
The same writer, @juliawhitty, also wrote this gorgeous story on the fate of the oceans, also in 2006. Today @ewarren introduced her plan to save them. And they need saving. motherjones.com/politics/2006/…

#Scotland #Scexit & #GE19 Polling update #Thread
Tories continue 2 strengthen their support 2 their highest level yet, with Labour support building again. The SNP has dropped below 40%, this bodes well for Unionist #TacticalVoting & should minimize any claimed SNP seat growth 1/7
The UK national picture shows Tories leading the pack, still outpacing the Labour recovery. Clearly the LibDems & the rest are falling by the wayside. At 43.5% the Tories best month is December & peaking at the critical time. 2/7
In Scotland, we've had the latest #Scexit poll, which shows support for #Scexit still woefully short of nationalists aspirations, with a clear majority of support for our Union & with undecideds falling away, great for the Union. 3/7

#Tories Election Cock-Up Chaos so far - a continuing series :

01 - #Tories admit and apologise for a doctored, misrepresentative video of Kier Starmer. Tory MPs like @JohnnyMercerUK leave it on their feed and actively continue to spread.
@JohnnyMercerUK #Tories Election Cock-Up Chaos so far - a continuing series :

02 - #Tories Boris #Johnson gets booed out of Addenbrooke Hospital by staff and patients alike, unmentioned by #BBC, who were right there.
@JohnnyMercerUK #Tories Election Cock-Up Chaos so far - a continuing series :

03 - #Tories MP Jacob Rees Mogg blames #Grenfell victims for their own deaths. It takes him four days before he's forced to retract and apologise.

#ClimateAlarmists ignore the fact that all of their propaganda efforts to scare people into submitting to expensive CO2 reduction schemes are having less than no restraining effect on the one & a half degrees of #GlobalWarming over the last two centuries.
vox.com/2015/5/15/8612…
Nothing being done now is having any effect on reducing CO2. We could help Nature do it the old fashioned way by planting a trillion trees. But that takes time.
#ClimateAlarmists prefer preventing the poorest people from trying to stay alive during winter.

Scientists are proving that active geothermal sources around the globe are causing most of the glacier melting & ocean warming. And more of that heat should be harnessed to benefit humanity, as has been done throughout human history.

Now, where was I? Oh yes, threads earlier talking about v likely #Corbyn #Labour government that failure of MV3 has created. I warn you that I've been to a Bottomless Brunch of Prosecco with some of my cousins, but short thread follows.
Let's start here: even in their best case scenario, #Labour is likely to be in a minority. Evidence is legion that they are going to catch an absolute *tonking* in Scotland, and I'd be surprised if they had held more than one seat there as things stand.
In that situation, LDs, SNP, Green, Plaid will try to hold them to another #EUref. Given c.25-35 Labour rebels, they will need a combined majority of 50-70 to avoid tearing themselves apart over this. That's the first step.

Two serving Jewish Labour councillors have spoken out for the first time to expose the “extraordinary” levels of “institutional anti-semitism” in Momentum’s Haringey heartland in north London - thread 👇

thetimes.co.uk/article/jewish…
Joe Goldberg and Natan Doron said they had been repeatedly abused to their faces by pro-#Corbyn #Labour members — including fellow councillors — with crude allusions to their race or insulting references to the #Holocaust 👇
Goldberg the council’s cabinet member for economic development was accused by #Labour councillor of “bagel-barrel politics”

Same councillor said academy schools comparable to “Kristallnacht”, the Nazi pogrom in which 1,400 synagogues were attacked & dozens of Jews murdered 👇
