Just forget appeasing these monsters. We must return to Europe and stop kidding ourselves we can have it all. We did that before and ended up with less than nothing. British politicians who support Trump betray Ukraine, betray us all. (Letter, Times)

"That's stupid." @carladenyer.bsky.social explains some of the changes that could be made to our energy market to bring down bills and emissions.

💚 One week to go until you can vote for real hope and real change.

1. Because this issue is critical, but has received remarkably little coverage, here's a thread pulling out the key themes from my article yesterday, on the Planning and Infrastructure Bill, which puts decades of environmental protections to the torch. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Why hasn't Fujitsu been sued?

'Water bosses who break the law over pollution could face up to two years in jail' Environment Secretary Steve Reed spoke to #BBCBreakfast about a new law in England and Wales to give the water regulator new powers to tackle companies who pollute

Those who simply discuss demonstrations for the environment are put for years into prison. Those who cover us in shit get millions in bonuses.

Water companies routine use of emergency overflows ‘illegal’, says environment secretary www.channel4.com/news/water-c...

The BBC's terrible failures on Gaza reporting have been exposed by Gary Lineker. Even the question from the presenter exposes the BBC's raging bias.

🙌🏼Huge welcome to @TheGreenParty to Sonia Winfred. 🥀 "Following several years as a Labour Councillor and Cabinet Member I no longer recognise the party I voted for and believed in. 💚 My decision to join the Green Party was not difficult." www.brixtonbuzz.com/2025/04/susp...

The UK has got to be the only country in the world that is politically held hostage by like 15 newspaper columnists that basically nobody reads

The Govt’s #PlanningBill would allow developers to pay cash to trash wildlife & the environment. The nature levy isn’t a tool for ecological recovery - it’s a license to kill nature. Pleased to join ecologists & experts to sign letter to MPs👇 @zero-hour.bsky.social @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social

Cambridge Station today….

Wife of wrongly deported Maryland man Kilmar Abrego Garcia forced into safe house after government posts address online. Hope her attorney sues AND gets $$$ for punitive damages. Disgraceful.

Nigel Farage says we don't need policies to tackle the climate crisis?! His vision for the future - bankrolled by climate-deniers and polluters enriches himself and depletes the finite resources we depend upon. Our vision of green jobs, cheap energy and a liveable planet enriches everyone.

Al gore is pissed off and I’m here for it

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

Sewage spills are rising, bills are through the roof, and water companies are breaking the law while pocketing millions. It’s time we put people before profit—public ownership is the only solution to ensure this vital utility works for the public good.

Pleased to join @stopcambo.bsky.social this week handing in a petition with a million signatures calling on the government to do the bare minimum to protect us from the climate crisis - commit to no new oil and gas. Time for govt to listen!

And this our life, exempt from public haunt, Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, Sermons in stones, and good in every thing.

This is a terrible terrible destructive decision. These sorts of long running research programmes take decades to build and their insights accumulate over decades too - the longer they run, the more valuable they become. This is knowledge vandalism. Nothing new and shiny can replace it.

Nothing like a collective effort to show how quickly the wheels can come off.

This will probably come as no surprise to anyone but.. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/nigel-...

“Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president.” ~ Theodore Roosevelt ~

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

The “but her emails” crowd are now cheering on drunken rapist idiot Pete Hegseth for sending out classified military intel on Signal Chat not once but twice and not just to a reporter but to his wife and brother. He should be in jail, not running the Pentagon.

Earth Day is a reminder that we only have one planet. Sometimes, it takes seeing Earth from space to truly grasp how precious it is. 🧵⬇️ (1/4)

The Art of the Deal

"When each day brings a new outrage, at some point the outrage starts to feel “normal.” The abnormal becomes background noise. This adaptive erosion of alarm is exactly what an emerging autocrat can exploit."

Bluesky is collegial and interesting, the way Twitter used to be. Bonus: most people can spell.

Well, well, well if it isn’t the consequences of my actions

⛔ Austerity does not work. 🔵🔴 Whether that's Tory austerity or Labour austerity. 🤔 So let's make a 'difficult decision'. ➡️ Let's tax wealth.

TAX WEALTH. DISTRIBUTE UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME.

In case you hadn't noticed:

"It's the right thing morally, but it's the right thing economically as well." @adrianramsay.bsky.social lays out the many benefits of a green industrial revolution.

Too often, weak bail conditions and time limits on prosecutions leave domestic abuse survivors unprotected and without justice. In Parliament, I asked the Minister to meet with me and a constituent to discuss explore what more can be done to ensure safety and accountability for survivors.
