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?

ICYMI, our Founding Director @georgemonbiot.bsky.social was on BBC 5 Live this morning talking about our open statement and why we need this Labour government to act! You can read more about this here bsky.app/profile/figh...

Baby bison zoomies alert! 💨 Meet Samson, the newest (and speediest) member of our Free-Roaming Area herd. Born over Memorial Day Weekend, this fluffy little calf has already mastered the art of sprinting joyfully across 435 acres of forested fields like he owns the place. 🦬

I’m hearing rumors that thousands of people are calling the ICE tip line to report little green men and other aliens from outer space. That’s not why ICE set up this number, so you should absolutely NOT call that tip line to report those types of aliens. 👽 I repeat—do NOT call the below number! ☎️

This is my tribe. We rebel against conventional society. We live in ways that make us self-sufficient and independent. We grow a lot of our own food, some are "off the grid". It is our nature to do our part. We know each other in a way that is nearly lost from American culture.

Govt wants to appear to be tough on England's water companies. It will ban executive bonuses. But companies can circumvent. Increase exec base pay Award share options Perks Lucrative pensions Multiple directorships. Govt could let customers vote on exec pay, but won't democratise industry.

Trump Is Building a Global Gulag for Immigrants Captured by ICE The U.S. has reportedly explored, sought, or struck deals w/ ~20 countries, including those @StateDept has cited for human rights abuses. My latest w/ @jonahmv.bsky.social for @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/05/15/t...

Republican lawmakers do not do the business of the people. They do the business of the oligarchs.

Yesterday, April 30th, it was 26° in Bristol. Today, it's May... or is it July?! Bristol Climate Choir declare it #TooHotForApril Let's keep #Rosebank oil in the ground, and keep the heatwaves for the summer! #climatechange #heatwave #unseasonal #nonewoil #stoprosebank #weirdweather #green #vote

This dirty water is a disgrace! The choir head to River Wye to call for an end to factory farm pollution and for its once pristine waters to be restored to health and life. We thank the Goddess of the Wye for gracing us with her presence! #riverpollution #wye #avara #cargill #factoryfarming

Republicans are union busters. Republicans are anti worker. Federal employees, like any employees, should have the right to organize. This better come up in some campaign ads. www.cnbc.com/2025/05/17/c...

When the President of the United States says he doesn’t know if he should uphold the Constitution, it should be a searing red line for every American. If you let him ignore ANY aspect of the Constitution you embolden him to ignore more of it, including the parts that secure YOUR freedoms & rights.

Gaza ‘to be entirely destroyed’ and people to leave ‘in great numbers’, claims far-right Israeli minister. If this threat of ethnic cleansing were happening anywhere else in the world, we would already have a no-fly zone in place and UN peacekeepers on the way.
