China installed 93 GW of solar capacity last month, almost 100 solar panels every second 🤯 "And between January and May, China added 198 GW of solar and 46 GW of wind, enough to generate as much electricity as Indonesia or Turkey." www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Sadiq Khan joins growing Labour rebellion against disability benefit cuts London mayor is most senior party figure to call for plans to be dropped, as Starmer vows to press ahead www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Farage's 'Breaking Point' poster shamelessly copied Nazi propaganda. Brexiters like Farage claim to be patriots, and yet they ape the propaganda of the fascists we helped defeat in 1945. Putin weaponised Syrian refugees to help far-right politicians like Farage, Le Pen, and the AfD.

War #gaza #Iran #Israel #war

So then Carney, how about less pro fossil fuel talk? And more climate action...this goes for all world leaders.

'Well there has been a significant increase in disability claims since the pandemic' WHY! MIGHT! THAT! BE?????

Georgia's Putinist regime continues to crush democracy. Would we, in the UK, fare any better under Russia's friend Farage? We have no constitutional safeguards to protect us from a fascist government.

What the heck?! This is mad!

Perfect for a time such as this..Thanks Pope Francis....

I'll be speaking at this emergency demo tomorrow night. Government ministers are touring the TV studios refusing to say that starting an illegal war is wrong. If they won't use their voices to condemn America & Israel's actions - we shall all do it for them.

The UK passed assisted dying legislation at the exact same time it began trying to cut PIP benefits & other social supports. They make it harder for disabled people to survive, then offer death as a solution. Canada has done this for years.

The BBC is continuing its sickening promotion of the far-right. This must end. Starmer must act to defend our democracy. Brexit extremist Robbie Gibb has warped BBC output for far too long. He must be sacked. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

You’d think a government in control wouldn’t panic ban things just because an opposition demands it. A government in control would be comfortable defending free expression & right to protest. But a government arming genocide has no moral ground to stand on & is not in control.

Clip of Karen Hargrave, who has ME and her husband has very severe ME: “One of the biggest challenges people with #MECFS face is being believed and having their condition taken seriously.” From BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.

We need to start being louder that we don't want to leave the ECHR.

🔴 How Negative Media Headlines About Small Boat Crossings Are Turning Brits Against All Migrants New research finds that disproportionate coverage of the relatively low numbers crossing the English channel is turning British people against all incomers Exclusive for @bylinetimes.bsky.social

Right now, the UK needs a prime minister who is strong in the face of Trump. But we don't. He is a wobbly jelly of a man. Come on Starmer, we saw your potential after the Zelensky WH interview- be who we need u to be! @carladenyer.bsky.social @eddavey.libdems.org.uk @teamlabouruk.bsky.social

Sting slams Brexit as an ‘act of folly’ during French TV appearance 'We're only just beginning to understand how stupid it was” www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/sting-t...

No one is happy with Labour. A u-turn on #DisabilityBenefits cuts is a first step to regaining a party people can vote FOR not just use as a vote against the Tories. Show us vision, Labour. A country where we support each other, not abandon our most vulnerable. #TakingThePIP

If Starmer endorses US involvement in the Middle East then that has to be the final nail in Labour's coffin for very many of us.

Cruel.

🥵 Hot enough for you? Time for Starmer to get serious about hitting net zero www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The climate crisis isn't some distant threat. It's here and it's now. Both around the world and in the UK. As Chair of the Fire Committee - I spoke to the Financial Times about wildfires. www.ft.com/content/fe84...

🔴 Reform UK Councils Are Facing Protests After Cancelling Climate Change Preparations Nigel Farage’s party is culling anything to do with tackling climate change, including local planning for rising sea levels bylinetimes.com/2025/06/17/r...

www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/how... 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and NI didn’t vote for this. Now..we,re all worse off. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 was conned into voting to stay in the UK by the Tories who said a vote to stay in would be a vote to stay in the EU If we,d went independent then we would definitely be back in the EU by now.

We are just as bad as Trump's America. I'm ashamed of our government.

"One of the biggest things for me is companies being allowed to get away with putting profit ahead of people's safety." Marcio Gomes, whose unborn son, Logan, was Grenfell's youngest victim, talks to Keme Nzerem. Read and watch: www.channel4.com/news/systemi...

"This is a time of new forces in politics. The beneficiaries of this change, so far, have been the radical right... In Polanski’s campaign, we have, finally, to bottle these new winds into a political programme." Brilliant article by @meadwaj.bsky.social www.newstatesman.com/politics/202...

Last night in Riverside, CA, what 6 months ago would’ve been on every new channel, was only on local news. A man drove his vehicle into protesters. At least one woman screamed that her sister had been ran over. /

No-one takes the decision to flee their home from persecution, with little more than the clothes on their back, unless their life depends on it. That’s why our approach to refugees must be rooted in compassion, empathy and humanity. Not division, prejudice or scaremongering.

Contrary to media reports after the 2025 local elections, there was no Reform UK landslide, just an outdated voting system that needs reforming.

"After a lifetime of filming the natural world, I cannot remember a more exciting opportunity." - David Attenborough This movie was one of the most glorious, distressing, & hopeful things I've perhaps ever watched. I both recommend it as a balm, & hope it'll be added to must-watch lists everywhere.

It is extraordinary, but grimly inevitable, that the people most responsible for hobbling the UK have become the loudest & whiniest critics of the consequences of their own actions. A big part of the process lies in people like ‘Lord’ Hannan actually being *rewarded* for their ignorant delinquency.

Please UK, wake up to fascism.

When you hear Nigel Farage talk about civil unrest today, do not forget who has been stoking such resentment. www.ibtimes.co.uk/ukips-nigel-...

Rupert Murdoch continues his war against democracy, truth, human rights, and basic human decency.

I'm ashamed of the racism I'm seeing in Britain. Aren't we learning anything from America?
