These are dark days. But for Starmer, the collapse of the old order is a moment of political promise. He can use it to remake his premiership and the continent: new political space has unfolded before him in every direction. Will he seize it? New writing from me. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

From the appalling comments this film is getting on X it’s clear to me if we want to avoid a dangerous chain of events which could one day see Britain joining Russia & Belarus as the only European countries outside the ECHR we need to constantly call out this insane drumbeat from the right to leave

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says the public want to leave the ECHR. I think he’s talking absolute boll****. What about you?

“Some 56% of farmland bought in 2023 was sold to landowners who were not working farmers. The revenue per acre is too low to warrant the purchase, unless you are extremely wealthy and are avoiding inheritance tax”

Probably the biggest march in London this year was the Restore Nature Now March - despite the numbers, the uniting of @nationaltrust.bsky.social AND @xrglobal.bsky.social, it was of considerably less interest than to the media than farmers, so here are some photographs

The River Wye is dying—& the River Severn is going the same way. Blistered fish, algal blooms, sewage fungus sludging the riverbed. The only good news is the response: a “volunteer army” of citizen scientists & activists rising up to protect & heal the river. 👇💪 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Green wood working is gaining a lot of users. Its philosophy is a long way from the consumer driven society in which some of us struggle. Green timber from the woods, hand tools, safe cutting edge skills and imagination are an addictive mixture. Spoon on #sustainability #greenwood #crafts #sløydd

Here is a pic to remind us that we are all here along for the ride. If we want our journey to be rewarding, long & smooth we have to give up lots of ‘freedoms’ make better choices and think about the children. The road will be rocky. It’s our choice where it leads. 🌎 🌍 🌏 💚
