We're going to have a droughty summer in the UK, and who's to blame? Privatised utilities: they refused to fix the UK's water system, took huge profits, paid themselves, and invested that money in oil and gas to deepen the climate crisis. Nationalise them now!

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

FIRST PAST THE POST (FPTP) IS BEARING DEVIANT CHAOS & MUST END; Kent Reform won 37% vote but due 2 FPTP 70% of seats? Exeter Labour came 1st in votes but won 0/9 seats? Deform, Greens, Cons & Lib Dems all had less votes than Labour but more seats? A Lib Dem Cllr. in Cornwall won a seat on 19% vote?

"A voting system that effectively bins 3/5ths of all votes cast is leading to alienation & distrust, as stated in the party programme before the 2024 election.. The government must set up a National Commission to design a better electoral system for a better democracy" 🌹 @sandyofipswich.bsky.social

These planned cuts are a major part of the reason #Labour did so badly in the Local Elections yesterday! This version of Labour isn't really Labour at all 😕

The vote share of the two biggest parties has been falling steadily for decades. Recent polling shows it could fall below 50%. And yet we still have a voting system designed to silence all other voices. It's time for a system update. It's time for PR. Graphic by @tldrnews.bsky.social

More than 6 million illegal vapes were seized in 2 years, many sold to children. But that's just the surface- 1 in 6 vapes found in schools contain Spice, a dangerous synthetic drug harming young people. We urgently need tougher regulations to protect children and public health. 👇

Labour voters aren’t just disappointed – they feel gaslit. From Europe to benefits, the party speaks in riddles. Is it time to walk away? But where do their disillusioned voters go now – left, right or out? @eastangliabylines.co.uk @peterthurlow.bsky.social

England & Wales are the only countries that fully privatised water and sewage systems – and we got sewage dumping, huge bill hikes, debt, and profits prioritised over basic services. Now 8 in 10 people want to end privatisation. The gov needs to listen.

In cities, towns and villages, a 20mph/30kmh limit is the "sweet spot" to balance mobility, safety, livability, noise, emissions and freedom. In Wales it reduced casualties by 28% and insurance premiums by approx. £50 pa also making Welsh places better places to be. It's global best practice.

The best reason to get children out of poverty is that you get children out of poverty. The second best reason is that you save the state enormous amounts of money. Every year the gov choose to keep the two-child benefit cap, we all lose.

Most invertebrates may never appear in a documentary, but they pollinate, decompose, and feed the world. E.O. Wilson called them “the little creatures that run the Earth.” He was right. @vannabartlett.bsky.social shares her love of invertebrates #EarthDay
