Lucky for the tractor drivers they weren't objecting to the continued burning of fossil fuels leading to environmental degradation, natural disasters, weather extremes, food insecurity, economic disruption, conflict, and terrorism. Still can't quite see how an ambulance would get through though.

I’ve been following politics very closely for the past 5 years and can honestly say it’s never ever felt so bleak. I didn’t used to understand how the Nazis could have progressed to power. I do now. We are living it. It’s regressive, dark, sinister and feeling increasingly hopeless.

Fox hunting is not a sport—it's a cruel and inhumane practice. Exploiting legal loopholes, hunters continue killing innocent foxes under the guise of "fun." 🦊💔 It's time to put an end to this outdated and barbaric tradition. 🐾 Share if you agree!

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Make no mistake. Every politician, pundit & online grifter amplifying Musk's dangerous lies will be aware of this intervention by now. Make no mistake, they are choosing to mislead the public & politicise the suffering of victims in the shameful pursuit of political advantage, attention & clicks.

Lib Dem Leader Edward Davey slams Elon Musk's interference in British politics and Russian funding of the Conservatives, and calls for funding reform: "Will the PM bring in long overdue reforms of party funding so that power in this country lies with the voters and not wealthy overseas oligarchs?"

This should concern everyone. The Prime Minister urgently needs to close any loophole’s that might allow foreign billionaires like Elon Musk to bankroll British political parties

“Everyone in positions of influence should ask themselves the question: are you treating those fighting to save the planet more harshly than those fighting for inherited wealth? If so, why?” @josiah.writes.news bylinetimes.com/2024/12/12/t...

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says “We need to leave the ECHR so we can deport people that come illegally & take back control of our borders & that’s what the public wants” Share if you disagree with his populist boll**** the UK should join Russia & Belarus outside the ECHR youtu.be/iSTN-h8NoyY

I share a lot of dogs we save and re-home but this is my very own dog, Hank the Tank. He had a very hard start in life and some serious issues. When I found him he was on the way out. His turnaround has been beautiful to watch… (1/10) 🧵

The book situation is now firmly out of control. It's like Jenga. Each new one placed on a pile carries the risk that it will all collapse.

Worried about #ElonMusk buying his way into UK politics? Think we need to take money out of our democracy? Help #DemocracyForSale's people-powered plan to #SafeguardDemocracy by taking this short survey: democracyforsale.co.uk/safeguard Please share. Thanks!

Important to get as many voices as possible filling in this survey -- so that it can be taken forward to politicians as evidence of public engagement with/ concern about this issue. Please do fill in and share. I sense this Bluesky community is about getting things done... so let's do it! 👇

Somebody needs this right now 🐧🥹 #ThankYouTG #CoffeeKindnessShenanigans

THIS WEEK is a big week for democracy in the UK & still not a whisper from MSM. No government can be allowed to abuse secondary legislation by using it to undermine our democratic rights & that includes this one. It’s shocking that less than six months in we need to remind the government of that

Tired of saying this now, but this awful man will be the next PM. As much as I ❤️ Bluesky, it is a center left echo chamber making noise that radiates nowhere. But his people make noise that radiates into the world through their media. And people in the US heard it a few weeks ago. We're next.

It's a slippery slope and that's how it starts you see. In your 20's you get a new work phone. In your 40's you set up a fake PPE company with your husband and embezzle millions and millions from the public purse and get a seat in the Lords with absolutely no repercussions.

Nigel Farage loves open borders - for the super rich youtu.be/SA8T29zWNCw?...

no one will see me again if i ever have a room like this in my house

I can’t for the life of me understand how some people feel the need to hunt or harm these beautiful creatures! #FoxOfTheDay 🦊 🎦 Credit: Unknown

This needs to be said, loud, and often.

Outrage as video shows fox caught in 'barbaric' snare trap on King's Sandringham estate “This snare was placed alongside a rare Chalk Stream which is regularly used by otters” Repost if you agree there should be a UK wide ban on these devices!

I don't often take photos out of train windows, but the sunset over the Firth of Clyde was too stunning not to give it a go. #scotland

Spotted this at nature reserve, beautiful hair ice, #eskrigg #Fungifriends
