“The Reform leader is the UK’s highest-earning MP, which is no mean feat given the volume of greed amassed in the House of Commons.

By my calculations, Farage has clocked up nearly £2 million in income and gifts since he was elected as the member for Clacton in July 2024”

[..]

“But one of the most striking findings is the amount of money earned by Reform’s leader – the guy who wants to be the next UK prime minister – from overseas interests, including foreign governments”

Industry Knew—and Hid—Dangers of #GasStoves Over 50 Years Ago

Brett WilkinsMar 07, 2023

"Newly uncovered documents published last week by #DeSmog reveal that the leading #GasIndustry trade group knew over 50 years ago that cooking with gas stoves could harm human #health and tried to cover up the evidence.

"The DeSmog revelations regarding the #AmericanGasAssociation (AGA) came as the gas industry is pushing back against climate and public health advocates' efforts to ban new gas stoves amid mounting scientific evidence that the appliances threaten the warming planet and people's health.

"Recent studies—which, among other things, showed that #NitrogenDioxide, #CarbonMonoxide, and ultrafine particles produced by gas stoves cause a range of health problems, including 1 in 8 U.S. cases of childhood #asthma—sparked fast and furious backlash from the gas industry and its congressional boosters.

"'It's less widely known that the gas industry has long sponsored its own research into the problem of indoor air pollution from gas stoves,' wrote DeSmog's Rebecca John. 'Now, newly discovered documents reveal that the American Gas Association was studying the health and indoor pollution risks from gas stoves as far back as the early 1970s—that they knew much more, at a far earlier date, than has been previously documented.""
