SM & CU now. The only way out of this sh1t show!

Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere break new records in human history We know that net zero emission pathways will help us limit global temperature increases. Why are they not a priority for politicians? By Brian McHugh @yorkshirebylines.co.uk

Wildflowers aren’t just good for pollinators, they’re helping reduce crop damage and cut pesticide use in apple orchards. The approach is low-cost, sustainable and proven. A great story for Nature-Friendly Farming Week! More on the study here ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk

Breaking news: The US has been stripped of its top-notch triple-a credit rating by Moody’s on concerns about rising levels of government debt www.ft.com/content/e456...

To all those accusing me (again 🙄) of being a NIMBY: Given that the government's own analysis shows environmental protection doesn't impede housebuilding, kindly explain how trashing wildlife and habitats will take us any closer to getting the homes we need? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Sounds like a plan

The NHS in England is planning "previously unthinkable" cuts to try to balance the books, health bosses say. Services including diabetes care for young people, rehab centres and talking therapies are in the firing line, according to NHS Providers www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Why does Starmer's Labour Party seem determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory? Because it hates the left more than it fears the far right. As a result it won't do the "left" things so many of its potential supporters are crying out for.

BNG in conjunction with the NPPF changes is just awful and has fuck all to do with nature.

Campaigning for my wife standing as Lib Dem candidate for Winchcombe and Woodmancote division in lovely Gloucestershire.

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK. THIS IS WHY youtu.be/MdiDDJrQUJA?...

Shut down the youth clubs. Sell off the playing fields. Put up "no ball games" signs. Make public places hostile to teenagers. Then: "Young people, eh? Always indoors looking at their phones."

Two council by-elections this week; Deform UK won all that they desrved to – ZERO! There have been 236 council by-elections since the July 4 General Election. Reform has come out on top in just 14. Yeah. Fartrage is going to be thge next Prime Minister!

Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson, a conservative Reagan appointee, wrote a blistering opinion accusing the Trump administration of failing to give a man wrongly deported to El Salvador any semblance of due process.

Whoo hoo!

“The media elite which have so misshaped our politics, misreport the public’s views on such a scale it shows contempt for the readers and viewers,” says @pecksniffsdiary.bsky.social in his latest column which notes Badenoch’s lies and celebrates Steve Bray’s exoneration. @eastangliabylines.co.uk

This next month could end up defining our place in the world. There's everything to play for. But pro-Europeans have to exert pressure in an achievable way, rather than stomping off the pitch iandunt.substack.com/p/the-battle...

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts. From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

🚨 Are you a failed MP desperate for limelight, craving attention❓ Did you trash the UK economy in just one month as PM❓ Do you seamlessly blend supreme arrogance with mind shattering stupidity, to creat your own brand of “thick”❓ Join Farage in Reform Party, they will literally take anybody❗️🤷🏼‍♂️

If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Senator Chris Van Hollen says that he hasn’t been able to meet with Kilmar Abrego Garcia nor has he been able to have a phone call with him. He doesn’t know his health status. Unacceptable. El Salvador needs to show proof of life!!!!!

So much free speech…

Not another one?

UK government need to head towards Europe

When American citizens have to worry about returning to their own country from travel abroad, you ain’t living in a free republic.

Nigel Farage wants an American based heathcare system (which the UK can't afford) he also wants to harm the Transgender and LGBTQ Community. Do NOT vote Reform of you're angry with UK Labour! Ask for a new Leader of the Labour Party instead!

At a GOP town hall last night, heckling from constituents was apparently too much to handle—so they used police force and even stun guns on their own constituents. What are they so afraid of? Someone disagreeing with their views?

The government need to get a grip and actually listen to public opinion.

I’M GOING TO KEEP POSTING THIS STORY UNTIL ANDRY IS FREED: Gay Venezuelan makeup artist sent to Salvadoran prison after a disgraced cop's report Andry Hernandez Romero sought shelter in the U.S. because he was persecuted as a gay man, one of the "particular social groups" allowed to claim asylum.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

I’m 63 and definitely heading ( more ) to the left.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

BREAKING: The country of Norway just entered a bill to give transgender Americans asylum in the country of Norway… LGBTQ+ STRONG! 🌈✨

💥 Our research shows deep alignment with the EU on goods and services could offset the impact of Trump's tariffs on the UK economy. Listen to @pimlicat.bsky.social explain more on @lbc.co.uk 👇 www.bestforbritain.org/naomi_smith_...

THREAD: Under a new law, thousands of prisoners in Louisiana have been cut off from ever getting a chance at parole. Why? Because an algorithm said so. 1/

Tariffs? Out of control. Prices? Skyrocketing. Emergency powers? He’s abusing them. And yet… not a single question about whether he’s even fit to serve. The math ain’t mathing.

The US is utter chaos. Complete and utter chaos, for at least another four years and probably long into the future. Any British government working in the national interest will be investigating how to quickly reduce our exposure to it.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

We had these lies in the UK. Soros was supposed to have paid us to take part in the anti Brexit marches. Those are some deep pockets lol

Yeah. Right.

Well, there is this.

Farage can’t help it… during a photoshoot with Reform candidate for Runcorn he suddenly remembers he’s getting paid £93K a year salary, plus expenses by the taxpayer as an MP To do as he pleases, focus on his interests, self promotion & portfolio of “other jobs” without doing a thing for #Clacton 🤷🏼‍♂️

Who could have predicted putting the global economy in the hands of a moron with malign intent would end in chaos. Other than anyone with a functioning cortex.

Brexit was going backwards. Reversing it is going forwards. And there was nothing about the Brexit vote that required leaving the customs union. Starmer himself has said the world has changed. Refusing to change strategy to reflect that new reality is hugely damaging and deeply cowardly
