Any young trade unionists want my small union badge collection? Some wee gems in there. Free to a good socialist home…✊

They will operate off cheap, clean renewables while using their capture of the political system to force you to buy their ruinous products.

For my next decree, every village, town, and city in the land shall be connected by fully-segregated cycle lanes.

"What is happening to people who reject the canonization of Charlie Kirk is a tragedy and a disgrace," one professor said.

This is basically every conservative on Twitter right now.

EU Deforestation Regulation, that aims to set mandatory rules for tracking and reporting on forest loss and degradation across EU, has been delayed by a year and members now trying to water it down so essentially it will be useless www.birdlife.org/news/2025/09...

Der reichste Mann der Welt ruft englische Neonazis offen zur Gewalt auf: „Gewalt wird auf euch zukommen. Entweder ihr schlagt zurück, oder ihr sterbt!“ Wenn die EU ihre Werte ernst nimmt, ist spätestens jetzt die Zeit für ein Verbot von X in Europa gekommen. Er rief auch zum Sturz der Regierung auf!

This is all just being said out loud now on the air on Fox “News”, instead of away from the cameras like before. That’s what’s changed. They’re testing the response and normalizing the idea at the same time.

Todo esto y mucho más lo analiza habitualmente y con perspectiva la @londoncycling.bsky.social y activistas como @psimonk.bsky.social @rachelaldred.bsky.social @jonburkeuk.bsky.social , que han aportado o aportan habitualmente datos y relatos clave para entender este cambio.

The Trump administration asked a federal court to cancel the approval of a $6 billion wind project planned off the coast of Maryland as part of a wider effort to halt the development of the offshore clean- energy resource.

I spent the afternoon listening to football on the radio and servicing an abandoned Dyson vacuum cleaner, which despite being filthy is nevertheless in full working condition. May you too come to know the pleasures of life in the slow lane.

1/ Any student of history will see strong parallels between how the Republican leadership is responding to the assassination of one of its leading MAGA torch-bearers and how the Nazis used the murder of Horst Wessel in 1930. So, what might come next? A 🧵.

Donald Trump instigated a violent coup in an attempt to overthrow the U.S Government He later removed federal security for his opponents, despite credible threats against them by his supporters. Don’t be fooled, nobody has done more to get the U.S where it is today than Trump and his inner circle.

The guy who said striking public sector workers should be shot and was forced to pay a producer £100,000 after punching him in the face is frightened? 🤔

Nigel Farage’s Reform Party is being advised by a think tank which denies the science of climate change and claims the UK government wants to use electric vehicles to control its citizens.

⚡️ Ukraine’s energy giant launches critical battery storage system ahead of winter worries. DTEK, Ukraine's largest energy company, partnered with U.S.-based Fluence Energy Inc. to build and connect six new battery storage systems to the grid in the Kyiv and Dnipropetrovsk oblasts.

For my next decree every child in the land shall attend Forest School on one day of the week. At Forest School, children will build dens, cook outdoors, climb trees, scrape knees, learn bird calls, identify plants and fungi, squabble, negotiate, lead, and drink hot sweet tea.

1/ Hedgerows are not only central to our sense of national identity, they're also of immense environmental value. Their loss, and potential for restoration, also tell the story of our unsustainable way of life and how we can step back from the brink…🧵

Pay your taxes; they’re the basis of our collective national wealth, health, and security. I wrote it on this banner when I was campaigning with UKuncut 12 years ago, and I say it again now. Nobody is above that principle.

Make Defeating Nazis Cool Again

According to a report, the tax paid by foreign firms in Russia could pay for 1 million Russian soldiers.

I live in a U.K city. Like most of the country, it’s safe and friendly. Yet, right wing X accounts, many of which are fronted by people who do not live here and could be foreign agents, are trying to create the perception we’re a failed state. It’s starting to feel like a plan.

A few weeks ago, I organised a footy tournament with these lads and raised £400 for Cancer Research U.K because I don’t want my kinfolk suffering and dying from cancer. Real patriots don’t engage in bully-boy empty gestures, they do things to make their country a better place.

Everything you've been told about the 'unpopularity' of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods is a lie.

At least some current and former Meta directors and several shareholders agreed to settle a lawsuit over the company’s response to the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

More solar energy falls on the Earth in an HOUR than we use in a year. One solar thermal plant occupying 0.004% of the U.S could power the whole country. The idea fossil fuels are necessary is perpetuated by those financially and politically invested in maintaining status quo.

Another misleading claim from the Telegraph. Aerosols are associated with emissions that increase warming in the long-term, but in the short-term that provide a masking affect. Cutting aerosols hasn’t increased temperatures, it has merely revealed what temps would be without their masking effect.

If your public parks do not contain charming hand-powered carousels with wooden animals, are you even a real city?

Trees transform the streetscape. You can find space for them even in the most constrained of urban spaces.

"UK and the US are poor societies with some very rich people." France inequality is lower than the UK. The French have higher living standards and more disposable income. - thread from the other place with graphs and article by @jburnmurdoch.ft.com at the FT

Normalise referring to temperatures over 25C as bad weather

U.K GDP is $5000 more per person than France, yet there isn’t a speck of litter on the streets or beaches of Brittany, where I’m holidaying, and, by 2026, the French will retire five years earlier than us. Economic growth cannot solve the problems of our unwell society.

We repeatedly warned that global warming would rapidly make your world uninsurable, but you chose to listen to people who told you fairy tales. We told you failure to act would be a life and death matter, but you voted for people to cut weather warning and emergency response services.

Grim messaging from Manchester City Council 👀

The Mediterranean region is warming 20% faster than the global average 🌡️, a #climatechange hotspot where many vulnerabilities are increasing. Here you can see the summer anomalies for the sea surface temperature since 1982. #dataviz #rstats

Relative to the long-term trend, June 2025 is the second largest deviation on record. The only larger deviation came in June 2003, and preceded a series of brutal European summer heatwaves that killed ~70,000. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_Eu... Hopefully, we are better prepared now. 3/3

Yesterday, I visited the stunning @UNESCO World Heritage site of Mont St Michel. Naturally, while everybody was marvelling at this wonder of the modern world, I was taking photographs of the incredibly handsome and dignified timber-clad local buses. Public luxury…😍

The man who celebrated the removal of Streatham Wells LTN once again refusing confront the fact that he has spent years working with the likes of @andrewellson and anti-LTN front group @SocEnvJustice to increase the chance of kids being killed by rat-runners on the way to school. Deplorable.

Thank you Jon. My kids cycle to school in one of your LTNs, and my wife is able to cycle to work thanks to another (and some in Islington as well). The people I see on bikes in and around London fields are no longer "cyclists" - it's anyone and everyone who wants to move around by bike.

All those that didn’t deliver LTNs got promoted or are now MPs. Just in case you were wondering why nothing changes for the better in this country.

As Hackney’s Cabinet Member for Transport, I delivered the largest number of LTNs in the U.K. In return, I was abandoned by my colleagues, got deaths threats, and received the largest number of complaints of any Cllr in the U.K in 2020. It was worth it. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
