Dear @edelger.bsky.social, @harrystevens.bsky.social, We are wasting most of our resources, energy and fossil fuels via billions of economically unnecessary #bullshitjobs and datacenters full of financial nonsense. Causing global warming and inflation. Please address root causes.

Billpayers will have to foot the bill for Sizewell C - a costly project that will take an age before it starts producing any energy. Supporting renewables and home insulation would have a bigger and quicker impact. We need clean, affordable power - not another nuclear money pit.

apple.news/AlX9rxwH8T3a... We cant deal with the waste at Sellafield currently. Its likely to cost upwards of 150b++ There is NO “Operational” SMR modular reactor anywhere, untested, unproven tech and they are likely to produce MORE waste than conventional reactors. 1/3

🔴A Toxic ‘Sewage Sludge’ is Covering Britain’s Crops in Microplastics – Then Flowing Into Our Rivers Campaigners including Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Caroline Lucas warn that decades-old testing rules need to be urgently updated bylinetimes.com/2025/06/10/a...

Anyone else hearing too much “recycle and reuse” and not enough “56 companies cause over 50%” of plastic pollution?

Every person aboard the Madleen is a hero. The genocidal Israeli state's attack on unarmed activists aboard a UK-flagged vessel delivering aid to Gaza is a flagrant breach of international law. The UK must sanction Israel, end all arms & surveillance, & expel its ambassador.

The Freedom Flotilla sailing toward Gaza is not just carrying life-saving aid. It is carrying solidarity, hope and our shared humanity.

The magic of having the world's only fully privatised and most expensive energy.

#trevorphillips puts to Victoria Rose what Israel says - that plenty of food is entering Gaza but its being looted. Rose says food isn't getting in, but even if what the Israelis say is true, the way to combat that is to flood the market so there is no incentive to loot

#trevorphillips: The IDF says armed militants use schools & hospitals as command centres, and although I haven't been in Gaza I've been in similar zones & that's not uncommon. British surgeon Victoria Rose: "The only people I've ever seen in Gaza.. with weapons are the IDF"

BREAKING: Israel in panic as aid ship enters Palestinian waters carrying weapons of mass destruction such as milk formula and medicine 😲

Michael Rosen ❤️

I don't care about Gaza because of my religious beliefs I don't care about Gaza because of my political beliefs I don't care about Gaza because of my ideological beliefs I care about Gaza because I am a human being. Mass murder, starvation, and ethnic cleansing are wrong

There is no better example of a failed privatization experiment than Britain’s experience of privatizing water, the very stuff of life. No other country in the world has got itself into this dire predicament, and there is an overwhelming public mandate to get ourselves out of it. And yet

The media want to tell you that 18 year old men are all voting Reform. Well….that just isn’t true. Young men (18-24) are just as likely - and young women are far more likely - to vote Green! Don’t believe the hype. Join the Greens and get behind a real alternative.

If you’re banning bonuses for failing water bosses You should be banning all shareholder payouts from failing water companies If you follow this to its logical conclusion, you should be banning private companies from our water system entirely www.bigissue.com/opinion/tham...

Eid should be a time of joy. But in Gaza, it arrives once again under genocide, siege & starvation. While millions mark the day with heavy hearts, Palestinians endure with strength, defiance & unwavering resolve. We stand with them. Next Eid in a free Palestine, in’sha’Allah 🇵🇸

Global legal experts slam British state's 'misuse' of anti-terror laws against Palestine Action's Filton 18 More than 20 international legal groups have lambasted the British state - and come out on the side of Palestine Action & the Filton 18 www.thecanary.co/uk/news/2025...

Banning bonuses for failing water company bosses is important, obvs - but it’s hardly the best we can do? 👀 If we’re serious about ending pollution for profit, water needs to be brought back into public ownership *now*. The fact that Labour Govt won’t even allow it to be considered speaks volumes

True

35 years of privatisation. 35 years of excessive profits. 35 years of rising bills. There is no market solution. Take water into public ownership now!

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

I just need a left leaning Labour MP to launch a leadership challenge and this will have been a great Friday.

When I called out UK complicity in the genocide in Gaza, Wes Streeting called it “cheap”. Now he calls it a “horror show” — as if Britain isn’t enabling Israeli genocide with arms and surveillance. A parlour game to him. A “cheap” performance while Palestinians are massacred.
