Greta Thunberg has been praised for hitting back at Andrew Tate after he gloated about having 33 cars with “enormous emissions”.
The 36-year-old former professional kickboxer turned controversial media personality and self-professed misogynist took to social media yesterday to ask the prominent 19-year-old Swedish environmental activist to provide him with her email address so that he could send her “a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions”.
Tate – who has grabbed headlines several times this year due to his misogynistic comments, which have previously seen banned from Twitter, Instagram, and most notably TikTok – gloated that he currently has 33 cars and that “this is just the start” of his growing collection.
In a tweet direct to Thunberg, Tate wrote: “Hello @GretaThunberg. I have 33 cars. My Bugatti has a w16 8.0L quad turbo. My TWO Ferrari 812 competizione have 6.5L v12s.
“This is just the start.

Tate – who has previously claimed that women should ‘shut the f**k up, have kids, sit at home, be quiet and make coffee’ – shared a picture of himself filling one of his Bugatti supercars with fuel alongside his tweet demanding Thunberg’s contact details.

But Thunberg was having none of it.
The teenage activist, who has been named on of the 100 most influential people in the world, and has received nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize for the past four years in a row, hit back at Tate and told him to “get a life” in what is a now-viral tweet.
In response to Tate’s demand for her email address, Thunberg wrote on Twitter this morning: “Yes, please do enlighten me. Email me at smalld**[email protected],” – and it’s fair, people have been absolutely loving it.

Thunberg’s tweet response has already racked up over 53,000 retweets and nearly 220,000 likes in less than an hour since it was posted.
Hello. Yes, police please. I'd like to report the murder of Andrew Tate.
Fans have been praising Thunberg for her “amazing” response.
“Hello. Yes, police please. I’d like to report the murder of Andrew Tate,” one person wrote, while another person called it “a late entry for most devastating ratio of the year,” and a third said they “did not see that coming”.
Another fan said: “Who’d have thought 2022 Twitter would peak so late in the day?,” while another called the response “beautiful”.
“And there was me thinking 2022 had peaked,” one fan exclaimed.

“Immense burn. Thoughts and prayers to Tate’s manhood, or lack thereof. Wake up men, this is not the hero you are looking for,” domestic abuse campaigner David Challen wrote.
Writer Ian Boothby added: “If more historical figures had Twitter back in their time, there’d be a lot more quotes like this in books.”

Manchester has been named one of the most ‘affordable’ cities in the UK – this is why
Emily Sergeant
A list of the top 10 most affordable cities in the UK has been revealed, and Manchester has made the cut for one very specific reason.
On a bit of a budget? Aren’t we all.
The cost of living crisis has been raging on for quite a few years now, and unfortunately, despite how much we all wish for it to, it doesn’t appear to be slowing down – with prices for everyday items, especially typical fridge and cupboard stables, shooting up by the day, even though supermarkets are showing efforts to prevent it.
And it’s the noticeable price increases in groceries that led delivery insurance provider, Street Cover, to uncover which UK cities don’t strain your food shopping budgets too much just yet.
As it was found that food and non-alcoholic drinks inflation reached 1.3% this past summer, a new study has revealed that Sheffield is officially the most affordable city in the UK, with several other northern locations on the list.

The study compared the 2026 Grocery Index for the largest UK cities with the UK average, as well as available 2025 Grocery Indices, to track the changes in food affordability.
The cities are ranked by the index difference from the national average – which is 67.3 – but the report also uses direct monetary values for a grocery basket to provide some additional context too.
Manchester took sixth place on the list, with an average grocery basket price of £23.08, while some of the other northern cities in the top 10, besides Sheffield at number one, include Liverpool, Leeds, and Newcastle.

As the only other North West city in the top 10, Liverpool may have come in third place overall, but the study found that the grocery bill here is the smallest in terms of actual monetary numbers – with it setting shoppers back £22.08 for a regular supermarket basket, which is a whole £1 cheaper than in Manchester.
“Data shows households in the North East of England have the lowest average food spend in the country, around 11% below the UK average, while Yorkshire sits 6.6% below,” Al Taylor, who is the Head of Street Cover, commented on the study’s findings.
“Sheffield’s position at the top reflects lower property costs for retailers, less competition from premium chains, and a supermarket landscape dominated by value-led options.
“The practical implication for household budgets is significant – the difference between budget and premium shopping can easily be £1,000 or more per year for a family, which can be spent on other things or saved for future plans.”
