Nigel Farage and the other 4 Reform MP's will be collecting their MP's Pension which is far more generous, all they care about is stealing every penny for themselves.

Try to stop children being murdered, Israel tries to cancel you.

I can confidently say that I would not still be doing physical oceanography without MPOWIR. The termination of MPOWIR's NSF grant is soul-crushing to me. Let's celebrate the success of this 20 year program and get to work continuing its legacy. 🌊 ⛴️ 🧪 www.advancejournal.org/post/3227-ce...

So disturbing…

This is devastating news. In his first major decision, Environment Minister Murray Watt has extended the life of Australia's largest oil & gas project until 2070. Tuvalu's Climate Minister Maina Talia said the extension "would threaten our survival". www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

I watched this conversation last night, and it was just *brilliant*. Neoliberal capitalism is killing off life on Earth, yet its name is almost never spoken, most people have never even heard of it. If we are to have a future, that MUST change. Watch this talk, then read 'The Invisible Doctrine'.

Nigel Farage has made it clear that Reform wants to do to our councils what Donald Trump and Elon Musk are doing to America. On behalf of local people, our new team will shine a light on what Reform councils are up to, scrutinise their actions and fight to protect local services.

Fuck P̶o̶w̶e̶l̶l̶ Starmer & his sickening vitriol. Support a charity that stands unapologetically with some of the most vulnerable & marginalised in our society. Support a charity that proudly says 'AYE WELCOME REFUGEES'. Support @scotrefugeecouncil.bsky.social ❤️🫶 www.justgiving.com/page/amy-mci...

Hard to say how disappointing this morning‘s speech really was. Morally AND intellectually. Agree with every line here by @iandunt.bsky.social 👇

“The findings suggest that if scientists want to increase public urgency around climate change, they should highlight clear, concrete shifts instead of slow-moving trends. That could include the loss of white Christmases or outdoor summer activities canceled because of wildfire smoke.”

I was happy to participate in this CJR survey of how journalists are using AI and ChatGPT in their work, and to make the case for why—as long as the terms of its use are dictated by OpenAI and Silicon Valley—we should not be using it at all. www.cjr.org/feature-2/ho...

The government is yet to respond to our call for a public inquiry into the UK’s involvement in the war on Gaza. This shocking report could explain why. When will the government come clean about the reality of arms exports to Israel?

Those of you with connections to schools in the UK, via your kids or otherwise, have they signed up to this amazing scheme NHM is running to help connect kids to nature? www.educationnaturepark.org.uk If not, get them to sign up!

“Climate change is already affecting every inhabited region across the globe, with human influence contributing to many observed changes in weather and climate extremes”.

Last year, Pakistan installed an incredible 22GW of solar—more than Canada has ever built! Pakistan initially committed to slash emissions 20% by 2030. But in 2021, it upped that commitment to 50%, as it's a win-win: switching to clean energy addresses poverty too. Read more:

For the @askhistorians.bsky.social podcast, I interviewed Judy Hart, the ranger who established the women's history park in Seneca Falls. She's incredible and it's wild to think she may live to see the end of the park she worked so hard to create.

I’m glad to see this article but it’s after 24 hours of unchallenged corporate guff dominating the news cycle. Tony Blair is a tech lobbyist who is literally writing naive, venal & dangerous policy for Starmer’s government. Call it out. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Groups set up by Reform UK officials contain posts calling for Muslims to be lynched and suggestions that Jewish people are trying to "dilute our country with foreign invaders"

Well said #NeverReform

It’d be a shame if #NeverReform trended on here ahead of the council elections👇🏼 Especially since they promise to fix everything but refuse to say how 🤷🏼‍♂️

The government's "Making Tax Digital" programme basically means that if you're self-employed you will be legally required to pay one of a small group of HMRC approved software companies an annual subscription in order to file your tax returns whereas before you didn't. That seems corrupt. Is it?

No comment post.

Apparently Nigel Farage wants the UK to be "self-sufficient in gas". Nigel, I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that the UK's North Sea gas output is going to fall by 95%, even if the govt U-turns and issues new licenses. www.carbonbrief.org/... 1/2

Happy St George's Day. A reminder that half of England is owned by less than 1% of the population. Some of these aristocratic landowners have inherited land since the Norman Conquest. England needs land reform and a strong Community Right to Buy! whoownsengland.org

Sad news about the Happy Heat Pump Podcast. Sorry to say, that after about 20 episodes, we’re drawing it to a close at the request of the BBC which worries it may be seen as steering into areas of public controversy. 1/2 youtu.be/RJPKgngqoX0?...

Palantir (Wes Streeting's partner of choice for your private medical data) is helping Donald Trump draw up a list of targets for deportation. Are you still relaxed about it holding your medical data? www.404media.co/ice-just-pai...
