Here's a regular reminder that 6 in 10 people in the UK are represented by an MP they didn't vote for. That's not counting the people who didn't feel inspired to vote at all. Or those who voted tactically but would've preferred someone else. We deserve better. #PRnow.

“In this victory, the court rejected a legal challenge from industrial fishing interests seeking to destroy crucial conservation measures in European MPAs [...] Bottom trawling has no place in any marine protected area.” Our campaign lead, Amy Hammond. 🙌 oceanographicmagazine.com/news/eu-cour...

@hampshirecricket.bsky.social be good to see Organ coming out soon… oh no, he’s not been selected… again.

This is a clear cut coordination policy intended to force independent institutions into loyalty with the regime. It is obviously the behaviour of an authoritarian state and anyone who claims otherwise needs their fucking head examined www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

From today Michael Gove will disgrace the House of Lords. I have described him in sworn evidence as a "deliberate and disgraceful liar". goodlawproject.org/covid-inquir...

Slovenia's President, Nataša Pirc Musar, "We are witnessing a genocide" "We are witnessing it, watching it, and we remain quiet" *very long clap followed by a standing ovation* "The inhumane treatment of civilians is something the international community should not look away from"

Corbyn has said "I hear the call for a new political party. I fully understand that, and that political party needs to be well-informed and effective". And "by next year’s local elections – long before that I hope – we’re going to have something in place". www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

Breaking news!The government has just voted against the same swift brick amendment they voted for 2 years ago. We can only save our swifts if we all act. Email your MP. Ask them to sign edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo... MEET your MP. Tell them how much this matters or we’ll lose them

"In the 21st century, we really ought to feel welcome in our countryside" Had a great chat with @mrjamesob.bsky.social yesterday about the Supreme Court verdict on wild camping & the need for a new Right to Roam Act: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQDR... (at 02:23:59)

We know so little of this last relatively undisturbed habitat. We cannot afford, and must not, trash it. #NoDeepSeaMining www.newscientist.com/article/2480...

🚨 Bottom trawling is bulldozing ocean life. A single trawl can wipe out seabed invertebrate diversity by 26%. This is legal in UK marine protected areas. But when it’s banned, life rebounds fast. 📣 On World Day of Biological Diversity, help us demand a ban. act.for-the-ocean.org/act/protect-...

This is a plainly genocidal statement.

"Environmental campaigner Professor Rupert Read exposed a key conflict of interest driving #GBNews' anti-net zero agenda, rattling presenter Martin Daubney.” Thanks to @left-foot-forward.bsky.social for highlighting this. leftfootforward.org/2025/05/gb-n...

The 50% drop in net migration just announced will surprise precisely nobody who has been paying attention to the issue, as opposed to exploiting and lying about it for clicks & votes. I doubt the stats will change the toxic narratives of the latter group, though.

BREAKING: A member of Kneecap has been charged with terrorism for waving a flag the government doesn't like, but not one person has been charged for joining the IDF and participating in genocide. Isn't that nice? x

After 19 months of slaughter in Gaza, the UK government is still defending Israel by saying it has "not been able" to determine whether Israel has breached international law in its military operations. #DCUKparliament

NEW: A Scottish Labour MP held a 'secretive' meeting with lobbyists working for private health care and drug companies, The National can reveal

Private equity control of UK veterinary services. Vets under "consistent pressure" to generate income - meet targets or else; encouraged to carry out unnecessary procedures on pets. Customer bills up by more than 60%. More pets will be abandoned. No govt stands up to private equity menace.

Utterly ridiculous, unworkable and potentially discriminatory against a protected group. Surely a ‘jump the shark’ moment for the EHRC. Incompetence on this scale is unacceptable and those responsible should be removed with immediate effect. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Russian military buildup near #Finland and #Norway, including Russian long-range Tu-22 bombers. Russia could triple its troop presence within five years once fighting in Ukraine subsides. The Baltics is also gearing up to defend against possible invasion. Trump declared he's "not worried at all".

❌ Promise made. Promise broken? Steve Reed, the Environment Secretary, vowed to end bottom trawling. A year on, we're STILL waiting. 🛑 20,000+ HRS of suspected bottom trawling happened in “protected” areas last year⁉️😡 📩 Hold govt to account. DEMAND A BAN: act.for-the-ocean.org/act/protect-...

Your 'moment of doom' for May 20, 2025 ~ imagine the unimaginable “sea level rise is accelerating at rates that, if they continue, would become almost unmanageable before the end of this century, [which is] within the lifetime of our young people.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Israeli soldiers intentionally fired at a delegation of about 30 Arab & EU diplomats, ambassadors and consuls, visiting Jenin refugee camp, in the West Bank. Israel claims "it was an accident" and that they fired "warning shots" because they "felt in danger". Israel was trying to intimidate them.

Starmer and Lammy sound genuinely angry at Israel… you mean they hadn’t realized there was a genocide going on? They should be raging.

A deadly mission: how Dom Phillips and Bruno Pereira tried to warn the world about the Amazon’s destruction. In this extract from the book Phillips was writing when murdered, he reflects on why it's so vital to save this precious place. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

STARMER SHOULD RESIGN!

Keir Starmer's leadership under pressure as 82 NGOs gang up on him 82 organisations have come together to write an open letter to Keir Starmer over Labour's plans for the June spending review - as in, warning him not to fuck it up... www.thecanary.co/uk/news/2025...

Good. Now go harder and further to reverse Brexit. The papers will slate you anyway and Reform flagshaggers will never vote Labour. Fuck continuing a mad pyramid scheme people were conned into voting for - most couldn’t even articulate why. Develop a fuck you attitude. Go rogue, restore sense.

The media claims Gary Lineker has been pushed out after a "backlash" – as though you and I want him gone. No. Britain's genocide-supporting media manufactured the "backlash" it now cites as grounds for his departure.

Warning issued by dozens of experts that Labour's DWP cuts will lead to premature deaths 38 experts have warned that Labour's DWP cuts could 'drive people into deeper poverty, damage mental health' and worse www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

🚨 BREAKING: 20,000+ HOURS of suspected bottom trawling WRECKED the UK’s offshore marine “protected” areas last year, our research shows! 🌊 That would score tracks on the seabed that would stretch EIGHT TIMES around the UK. All with the government's permission! 1/4 🔽 www.express.co.uk/news/politic...

Joseph Boam Deputy Leader of Reform UK in Leicestershire has been given the portfolio of adult social care. Adult social care. Here's his view on depression. Reform UK will likely find a mealy-mouthed way to explain this one.

God the tabloids and Brexit dinosaurs were boring today… 🦖 Braying the same “betrayal” lines they’ve brayed since they got what they wanted… then found they had no benefits in it whatsoever. Still they came out today to play victim yet again. But the world has moved on.

@bbcnews.bsky.social Lineker story “A sorry end to a BBC career” Only sorry because someone with principles and honesty isn’t staying to sort out the moral mess that is the BBC.

#r4today and absolutely shocking coverage of the EU/UK deal. They have found nothing positive and have focused solely on the past and words like betrayal. I am surprised the EU even bothered given the toxic nature of the media towards them!

BREAKING: Gary Lineker to leave the BBC in disgrace this week, following a pattern of unacceptable behaviour which involved objecting to war crimes and genocide x

As the UK and EU carve up fishing rights, I don't give a damn which party gets to trash our marine ecosystems by overexploiting fish populations, ripping up the seafloor and killing vast numbers of "non-target" animals. I just want this orgy of destruction to stop.

Relief! 😮‍💨 C’mon Europe!

Gary Lineker expected to leave the BBC… because it continues to use the Israeli ‘everything said against us is antisemitic’ ploy. Shameful. His honesty should be yours.

Did you know the UK has an Empire Test Pilots’ School❓ It's trained over 1,500 student pilots from 32 countries, among them likely to be some of the world’s most repressive regimes. But the MoD refuses to disclose the nationalities of pilots trained. www.declassifieduk.org/britains-emp...

51 years ago, four car bombs exploded in Dublin and Monaghan killing 34 people. When will the British authorities finally come clean over whether they helped the terrorists? www.declassifieduk.org/who-bombed-d...

If these were left-wing journalists joking about a Conservative Prime Minister's home being firebombed, they would be blacklisted by every major broadcaster for the rest of time, but they're not, so they won't

Left: Laura Kuenssberg says Labour can't take us into a Customs Union because they don't have a mandate for it Right: Brexiter Daniel Hannan saying that the UK would not leave the EU Single Market before the vote, then after the vote, he was rewarded for his lies with a seat in the House of Lords

Dr Rosena Allin-Khan, "Food is being used as a weapon of war" "Children have already died from having food withheld" "We have a moral responsibility to act" "If we don't act immediately this was on us" "And we should be revisiting our free trade deal with Israel"

Not a war, a genocide! Supported by this awful Starmer government.

I have endured his scurrilous attacks for years. He has sued me for racketeering — and lost. He has unleashed his right-wing army of online trolls. Since his reelection, he has threatened me, defamed me and singled me out by name in two executive orders. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-t...

In 48 hours, over 200 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza. Keir Starmer’s government still won’t condemn Israel or call it genocide. Won’t end arms sales. Won’t impose sanctions. Won’t stop trade. This isn’t just complicity, it’s collaboration. They have blood on their hands.
