UK companies are destroying forests and trashing the climate through their global supply chains - and UK law lets them get away with it. We need a new #BizHumanRights law before #COP30 to make them accountable👇 Sign @friends-earth.bsky.social’s petition if you agree: foe.uk/lruxt

“Our aim is to always have a great night train alternative to every short-haul flight. Everywhere in Europe.” Aiming to launch their first service in 2027, @noxmobility.bsky.social have set a goal of connecting 100 European cities by night train by 2035! Fingers crossed this comes to fruition 🤞

More funding for the NHS is always welcome. But this doesn't look like enough. And slashing local services which keep us healthy is a classic example of only treating symptoms, not the cause.

Yet another study confirms what the Scottish and UK Governments must accept - the world already has far more oil and gas than we can afford to burn, so expanding into new fields cannot be justified. www.openaccessgovernment.org/new-north-se...

Our challenge is how to boost the entire bottom 90% at the expense of the 1%. Universal basic income + taxing wealth meets this challenge. A higher minimum wage - although needed - does not. Taxing the middle class less does not. More welfare does not. We need to issue a dividend as a raised floor.

Memo to Ed: nuclear is outdated, hugely costly & far too slow. Hinkley Pt C is already years late & tens of billions over budget. Nuclear isn’t zero carbon, it won’t be “always on”, we still haven’t found a safe way to dispose of waste & it poses huge security risks @sayno2sizewellc.bsky.social

At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them. ABC might as well be state media.

This proposal by the BBC is explicitly anti-democratic. As @natashadevon.bsky.social and others have pointed out, more women are moving to the Green party than are men going to Reform - yet the national broadcaster is falling over itself to pander to the extreme right. Why?

If we want to prevent the most catastrophic impacts of the climate crisis, there must be no new oil and gas drilling. The evidence could not be clearer. So why won't Starmer commit to leaving all fossil fuels in the ground?

Incredibly concerned to see the forcible interception of the Madleen in international waters, and thinking of all those who were on board and have been detained. UK must condemn this breach of international law and immediately demand their release.
