An interesting read: Germany is "friendshoring" through outsourcing key car manufacturing to Morocco, a close friendly neighbour, rather then rely on geopolitically exposed Asian partners. Also learnt that Morocco exports cobalt - an important ingredient in electric batteries
🇲🇦🇩🇪 'Made in Germany' is becoming 'Made in Morocco' ➡️"#Germany’s Expanding Partnership with #Morocco: Strengthening Supply Chain Resilience is the Driving Factor" My latest article via @MIPAInstitute 👉mipa.institute/9329 #supplychains #geoeconomics #geopolitics
The Sun casually likening supporters of climate action to "Nazis"... Today's Sun advertisers include @CoopUK @Tesco @McDonalds @Lloydsbank #Lotto @Morrisons @BandQ @Asda & @Samsung
Remarkable long read in @FT last week, going behind the scenes at GB News. Among the eye-opening details: 📉 total losses have now exceeded £100m 🏃♂️ big name advertisers are wary 🚻 a fun irony: their loos are gender-neutral Full article (paywalled): ft.com/content/316002…
WATCH: Nigel Farage using his GB News platform to cast doubt on the 'assumption' that climate change is happening (Spoiler, Nigel: climate change IS happening. It's not an assumption, it's overwhelming scientific consensus)
It’s essentially a ‘how-to’ guide for stirring up unrest in other countries. The brief includes a list of ‘creative means’ to roll out the strategy – such as: - fake videos 👀 - comments on social media 👀👀 - news and pseudo-news 👀👀👀👀
Today's Daily Telegraph has a bizarre article claiming there is a "war on cheap energy", and attacking "net zero fanatics" who it says "want to raise the cost of heating"...🤔 Today's Telegraph advertisers include @Dyson @Boodles @SkiptonBS & @SagaUK
True cognitive dissonance.
Today's Daily Express has yet another article attacking clean energy policies *right alongside* a piece airing calls for the government to protect farmers from flooding, & highlighting the "more extreme weather events we are beginning to face". So close to getting it...
Shocking new exposé from @Desmog reveals the BBC's financial links to the fossil fuel industry. Surely Britain's public service broadcaster should serve the interests of the public - not those of oil and gas producers who are putting all of our futures at risk?
🔴 NEW 🔴 The BBC has been producing adverts(!) for major polluters, including fossil fuel firms and petrostates with a history of persecuting journalists. As an ex-BBC journalist, I was pretty staggered when I discovered this. 📝 @DeSmog report 👇 desmog.com/2024/08/22/bbc…
'NET ZERO MADNESS' – more irresponsible broadcasting from GB News… #netzero #edmiliband #media #madness #wordsmatter #redflag
Excellent thread debunking the Telegraph's latest anti-net zero article. Telegraph has moved on from straight climate change denialism to trying to undermine net-zero policies
Yesterday the @Telegraph published a comment piece by Viscount Matt Ridley about renewable energy, littered with misleading claims. What to make of it? 🧵
Very interesting analysis of and Nepal's balancing act between the two giants that sandwich it - China appears to be more favoured at the moment, but my view is that any Nepali govt must keep good relations with both nations and avoid "taking sides" as much as possible

An opinion piece in the @Telegraph on Friday by Lord Lilley posed a series of (frankly misleading) 'questions' about clean energy (Lilley is a former trustee at climate-denial group Global Warming Policy Foundation) Let's try and answer them for him... 🧵
Good morning with good news: China's solar capacity rose 51.1% by June 2024, compared to June 2023. China's wind capacity is up 19.9% year-on-year. China installed 100 GW of solar in first half of 2024, reaching 100 GW milestone a month earlier than in the incredible 2023! Wow!
Good to see @DavidGHFrost unabashed by the experience of seeing the harm caused by his advice on Brexit, which has helped to slow the British economy, now offering disastrous advice about British energy policy.
Medieval Miliband's plan for an energy system that depends on the weather is taking us back to the Middle Ages. His unreliable high-cost low-power system is going to drive out of the country what energy-intensive production we have left. Labour's energy policy is shaping up to
Dear @holland_barrett as company with strong climate policies such as buying 100% of energy from renewable sources please reconsider funding climate mis-formation in newspapers as shown below, I am a regular customer but will look elsewhere now corporate.hollandandbarrett.com/about-us/our-v…
Today's Daily Mail - whose events arm runs conferences for fossil fuel companies - continues its attacks on climate action & clean energy... Today's Daily Mail advertisers include @CoopUK @Holland_Barrett @VodafoneUK & @TheAA_UK
Dear @SteveReedMP, Year 4 @ReayPrimary are very excited to hear that you’re putting cleaning up our rivers and seas as your number one priority. Y4 are especially concerned about plastic pollution and have written to you about this issue. Here are some examples of their letters.
My letter published in today’s @Telegraph challenging Neil Record’s misleading piece on Monday… 🧵
Dear @AvivaUK @avivaplc as company with a positive climate change plan and ambition to reach net-zero by 2040 are you happy funding these kind of climate denial front pages? aviva.com/sustainability…
It's hard to fathom why the Mail would devote its front page to lambasting the Royal College of Physicians for producing an innocuous "green toolkit" for its members. But are today's Mail advertisers @SkyUK @AvivaPLC @Morrisons & @Specsavers really happy to support this? /5
GB News are taking the ban on new oil & gas drilling as well as you'd expect... Your regular reminder that the GB News co-owner runs a hedge fund that was found to hold *£1.8 billion* in fossil fuel investments: desmog.com/2024/06/12/map…
“From oranges in Brazil to cocoa in west Africa; olives in southern Europe to coffee in Vietnam, permanently shifting weather patterns as a result of climate change are reducing crop yields, squeezing supplies and driving up prices.” ft.com/content/125e89…
