THIS WAS PLANNED IN 1948

45°C in the UK isn’t a disaster film - it’s a Met Office warning. This is what decades of fossil fuel lobbying, political cowardice & climate delay has led us to. This is why we urgently need a bolder Green Party - a party for the people and the planet. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

"We can take back control and actually mean it... Public ownership of water and energy are not just a policy choice They're a survival strategy" 🎯 @labourlewis.bsky.social at @autonomy-institute.bsky.social event this evening #forum2029

Very glad to hear the Deputy PM commit to reading my report 'No Way Home?' - after decades of taxpayer money wasted and lives ruined by the failing Home Office, it's time for a new approach. Read the report: carladenyer.co.uk/no-way-home/

What do we know about Israel's own nuclear weapons? - https://www.middleeasteye.net/explainers/what-do-we-know-about-israels-nuclear-weapons

Trump calls for Iran's 'unconditional surrender' and says the country's leader is an easy target. If this is support for Israel to impose regime change, the precedents from Iraq don't bode well. This is a very dangerous moment.

Are we facing the end of local government in England? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/06... The system of local authority funding is failing, and with it, so too could local democracy.

What the utter fuck is Badenoch doing holding a press conference basically proclaiming the incompetence of her party’s previous 14yrs in power She’s so inept it hurts

Disgusting .horrific and backed by Starmer!

✂️ Labour are cutting disability benefits while considering lowering taxes on the rich 😠 🟢 The Green Party would do the exact opposite ⤵️ ✅️ Tax the super-rich. ⛔️ Stop #DisabilityBenefits cuts. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

70,000 more Britons to lose disability benefits than originally expected. Estimates up from 370,000 to 440,000, could lose £4,500 a year each. How many die? Govt averse to taxing corporations and the rich. Tell your MP to oppose cuts. 1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined.

🚨Additional British military assets including Typhoon jets are currently being deployed to the Middle East. "The first wave have already arrived and the rest will follow in coming days", says UK defence secretary John Healey.

Today I led a debate on UK compliance with the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, highlighting the horrific crisis in Gaza: mass killings, starvation, displacement. The evidence of genocide is undeniable and demands urgent action. 🧵

What a surprise the greedy capitalists aren't happy with their already obscene profits. #EnoughIsEnough

England faces 5bn litre public water shortage by 2055. Govt softening people up for bill hikes. Island surrounded by water has shortage - 1 trillion litres a year lost to leaks, lack of new reservoirs, £85bn paid in dividends, rivers/lakes polluted by sewage. Crisis created by privatisation.

🎞️ Tomorrow 🎞️ Join @john-mcevoy.bsky.social alongside speakers from @caatuk.bsky.social and @forceswatch.bsky.social to discuss how we can hold the UK accountable for its role in the ongoing devastation in Gaza and Yemen. 🎟️ 👇 www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/from-yemen...

The Labour government is planning to cut welfare support to disabled people while spending a further £1bn in public money on new military lasers. #DCUKparliament

Watching where the tankers go is important if the US were contemplating a bomber strike in Iran. 👇 x.com/vcdgf555/sta...

"You are crushing students for protesting genocide— "You don't have democracy." #StandWithIranians

Banks pledge almost a trillion £ in fossil fuel investment Everyone involved in these deals is complicit in murder As I have mentioned a few times, the world is now going backwards, as corporations and governments turn away from #climate action Desperate times www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Fantastic news! Religious extremists are coming for our rights and the more we can entrench and cement human freedoms into law the better! I’m thinking right now of humanist campaigners like Diane Munday who, now in her 90s, started this campaign over 60 years ago. humanists.uk/2025/06/17/b...

If you can’t sleep, here’s something worse: Starmer is pushing Shock Doctrine politics under cover of “reform” — and millions could suffer. Naomi Klein’s warnings are playing out in real time. #CutsKill #NaomiKlein #ShockDoctrine #UKPolitics 🔗 voxpoliticalonline.com?p=98631
