Farage is a modern lord haw haw

I don't see Trump demanding elections in Russia. ...ironically one year, almost to the day, after Alexei Navalny's murder.

Are you OK tearing up the constitution and allowing Trump to become the King of the USA? Because that is what’s happening.

Europe, incl UK, has benefited from a rich benefactor for decades. Unfortunately a mad cult has influenced the rich benefactor and chaos is unleashed.

Hey @JDVance, and @elonmusk, and @realDonaldTrump it looks like the Auschwitz Memorial wants to educate you. STOP LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

George Monbiot on Ukraine/Putin: “It’s as if he’d come to the UK, he’d occupied Kent, Surrey, Sussex & then somebody else like Donald Trump comes along & says fine guys just live with that. These people who go on about sovereignty will sell anyone down the river” 👏

Pessimists sound clever. Optimists change the world. I love this depiction of the energy transition by RMI.

Reform UK got 14% of the vote in the last GE. Why are Labour letting a small, vocal and cruel minority dictate the course of the UK? All this will do is fuel right wing hate and cause suffering to the most vulnerable in the process. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The Liberal Democrats have announced they will work with Plaid Cymru to push for the devolution of the Crown Estate to Wales ✍️ @emilypricejourno.bsky.social

Nazi salutes in week one. State-sanctioned ethnic cleansing in week four. But all the scumbag apologists who dared to talk about ‘over-reaction’ are still too bent and/or invested to row back.

Another Brexit dividend

The choice for Starmer is simple. Follow the USA with a narcissist is charge, leading a country that has the highest disparity in terms of wealth distribution, or follow Europe, that for all it's faults, values people above profit. I don't want to become the 51st state

Five key impacts of the Brexit failure. #Farage et al need to be held to account for their lies www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

BREAKING 🚨: WE WON OUR CASE AGAINST ROSEBANK. The court has ruled the oil field UNLAWFUL and Rosebank’s approval has been overturned. This is a monumental victory in the fight for a liveable future for all.

Vested interests will always try to protect their positions

government supports a third runway at Heathrow...... 🤦 Insane decision on so many fronts news.sky.com/story/chance...

YouGov find just 30% of people think we were right to leave the EU. The lowest number yet. Just 10% of 18-24 year olds think it was the right decision.

Some powerful images on todays news. Mankind continues to fail to learn from history Hate is so destructive. If any broadcast channel, news outlet, influencer or individual is pushing a message of division or tries to tell you 'they're different to you', then stop watching, listening or following.

What #climatecrisis The cost of NOT moving away from fossil fuels will far outweigh the costs of continuing www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cy...

1. The UK government’s pursuit of GDP growth at all costs is an assault on our natural wealth, which will impoverish us all. It might be able to massage the headline figures by converting the living world into money, but it does not improve our lives.🧵

Do you like the new X logo? More representative of their values I think

best president France never had 💔

Let’s not fall for Big Oil’s carbon capture deceptions. Data reveals that oil giant Equinor was storing a FRACTION of the advertised amount at an offshore project. Real solution: STOP all other fossil fuel projects before it’s too late. via @desmog.bsky.social

“Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.” Benito Mussolini

The right wing media will do all they can to repeat this disastrous populist takeover in the UK. Unfortunately our electoral system could allow an unrepresentative extremist minority to capture absolute power without majority. consent. (You only need a third of the vote!) We need a democracy upgrade

Strong reminder In community rugby, when it comes to suspected concussion there's no HIA If suspect a concussion - get them off the pitch & provide the appropriate care & the player does not return to the field of play When it comes to a suspected #concussion, listen to piglet ...

Meta’s Abandonment of Fact-Checking Empowers a President Who Traffics in Lies contrarian.substack.com/p/metas-aban...

"Equinor has retracted a claim that it stores about a million tonnes of carbon dioxide annually at its flagship carbon capture project after DeSmog obtained data showing the real figure was as little as a tenth of that amount" Wait what, fossil fuel companies aren't trustworthy?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Something simple that everyone can do - plant the number of trees equal to your age

It’s an indictment of UK media that no one is asking why the government is appealing against the high court ruling that found Suella Braverman’s protest law to be illegal. Her move to push this through using secondary legislation was described in the House of Lords as “a constitutional outrage”

And so we move into the next phase of reality’s Squid Game: the end of fact-checking. From now on, what happened, what you think happened, and what you wanted to have happened, are all of equal value.
