I think what Matt Tebbut needs to know is “ If a man looks at the world when he is 50 the same way he looked at it when he was 20 and it hasn’t changed, then be has wasted 30 years of his life,” #saturdaykitchen

Any smart people out there know who is behind the PPR Mundial YouTube channel, or how to get more info beyond the blurb they put on their own channel?

I regret to say there has been a lot of foolishness on some sections the left about #Ukraine, echoing Russian and far-right talking points. (Just as shamefully, the same people supported Assad in Syria). Now is the time to put that foolishness aside. We should all stand with Ukraine.

Rachel Reeves is off to chat with investment bankers about how to boost ‘economic growth’. We’ve got an idea! Instead of chatting with super-rich bankers, how about we tax them fairly and use the money to invest in decent public services for everyone 🤔

Increasing your Water Bills 44% ABOVE inflation in the next 5 years isn't enough for the Water Companies, they have appealed to Ofwat to let them increase them up to 83% ABOVE inflation. Like if they can get stuffed. RT if we should nationalise the lot.

The UK's horrendously unhealthy food system is costing the nation a staggering £268 billion a year. It's killing nature and killing us. The Gov needs to regulate ultra-processed food. Why should we all pay the cost? Report by @proftimjackson.bsky.social

People shouldn’t have to pay for heat that just leaks out of their homes. The Government must act now: mass insulation, stricter building standards, and real support for households struggling with energy bills. No more wasted time—or wasted heat.

What is wrong with #CCS (also called #CCUS_ = carbon capture and storage? Let me give you a short list: risky, failing elsewhere, enormously costly and #FugitiveMethane if using fossil gas #ClimateEmergency #HouseofLords

Fox hunting is cruelty, not tradition. It’s 2025, yet defenseless animals are still being hunted and killed under the guise of ‘heritage.’ Loopholes must be closed. The law must be enforced.

Just horrendous - so if you are a really desperate refugee without safe options, you are to be penalised for life. Labour's #HostileEnvironment www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The run off from those chicken farms is highly toxic to the ecosystems in the River Wye. Stop buying Nandos and tell them why.

Reform/Farage are rallying against 'DEI' over here, even tho it's not a UK thing. Same way they bastardised the word "woke" to just mean anything they dislike. It's another code word to shield racism & ignorance. To be clear, if you're against DEI you're against.. Diversity. Equity. Inclusion.

If Labour approves the Rosebank oil field, it would be the final straw for many of its green-minded voters. It might appease corporate power for a moment, but in doing so it will lose far more than it gains. The government seems to be on a self-destructive streak. Now's the time to rethink.
