  The lot of them are fucking idiots. Sunak’s Conservatives don’t have a single redeeming quality.

  What did we expect from the nasty party? Of course they supports Israel’s right to bomb civilians and starve children.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SUVs emit more climate damaging gas than older cars do, study finds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a good point about the weight of EVs. I suppose it’s a question of whether the benefit of EVs are worth the extra wear on the roads.

  When comparing ICE cars though, it’s a pretty clear cut argument that SUVs are worse for everyone except the occupants.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SUVs emit more climate damaging gas than older cars do, study finds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  And because they’re heavier, there’ll be more wear and tear on the roads too.

  Would definitely go some way to explaining why morale in the police (the Met at least) has been terrible for years and experienced officers are leaving faster than new ones are joining.

  Why do such a stressful job if you don’t even believe you’re ultimately making a difference?

  I agree with your point on reducing our exploitation of the developing world, but do you think the current measures will actually achieve that? I think it’ll only leave a gap there for other global manufacturers to fill and ultimately net exploitation of the developing world won’t be impacted by this.

  Now I don’t want to argue that since there’ll be exploitation regardless so it’s better that “we” do it, but I think it would be better (from both a UK and EU perspective) to have European manufacturers to rely on those supply chains as they are at the moment, capture market share and exert influence on them to make them more ethical and sustainable, rather than let other global manufactures take that market where we’re able to exert less influence on them to clean up their act.

  Would it not be better to be slightly more pragmatic about this and positively incentivise the development of local supply chains rather than wash our hands of the exploitation (that will continue to go on) as long as it’s someone else doing it?

  I’m not sure if being able to shoot with impunity is what these armed officers are asking for. It seems that they’ve lost confidence that the justice systems will treat them or their colleagues fairly after being asked to make split second decisions that could result in someone losing their life in extremely dangerous situations.

  The police should be accountable, but I don’t think it’s good for either the police or the public that these armed officers hesitate to act in situations that call for their intervention because they’re worried about being prosecuted if it all goes wrong.

  Officers who were acting by the book shouldn’t be afraid of doing their job just because there was an unfortunate outcome.

  Braverman can do one. She and the Tories have shown nothing but utter contempt for the police ever since they’ve been in government.

  Should there be a review of every fatal police incident? Absolutely. Do I trust Braverman to do right by the police or the public? Definitely not.

  I’ve got quite a few police officers in my circle of friends and tbh, I’ve rarely heard anything good about the justice system from them.

  Normally they tell me of cases where CPS will refuse to charge for what should be easy cases with a ton of evidence and when all the procedures were followed.

  My suspicion is that this charge is political grandstanding.

  Due you think the current lot in Westminster will ever acknowledge the path they’ve led us down?
