Labour arrives every election cycle like the old boyfriend, wanting forgiveness and pleading it will be different this time, and it works because they know how to pull people in one more time while the planet keeps burning, so don’t open the door.

Hundreds of copies sold of our new book, but we’re still desperately low on reviews. If you’ve read it, please leave a quick Goodreads review — it really helps independent publishing survive ❤️

Four points on the "landmark" UK report on the elite's mass death project.

Reform won 2000+ council seats. The Greens won 400. While we fiddle, the far right takes power in a 1.5 °C world. Next week in London, I will speak about what the Green Party must do to build alliances, drawing on my last months of election organising. www.kairos.london/event/integr...

The Labour Party is the controlled opposition. It consumes every radical impulse and delivers people pacified into collapse. Burnham is the most dangerous kind — the liberal. Green Party: this is your moment. Say it loud. rogerhallam.com/not-that-old-boyfriend-andy-burnham-again/

1/10. Not that old boyfriend Andy Burnham again! Occasionally there is a critical political moment when the radical political class should be doing A, but yet again it follows the now literally suicidal path of doing B.

1/8. From Reform to Revolution

1/6.If you want two sentences that prove that we're not going to have the Green Party's "nice life," they are: "Electricity accounted for less than a quarter of final British energy consumption in 2024. Annual electricity production is, in fact, far below where it stood at the turn of the century."

1/3. They knew but did nothing. Another day, another Guardian article plonked in the middle of the scroll of articles, which makes clear the UK faces millions of deaths.

1/4. "Adults in the room" The definition of an adult is two fold - to be able to see the truth and act as if that truth is real.

1/2. If Science is King then there is no Hope But Science is not King, God is King. And God is Love and Love does not need Hope And only once this is realised can there be Hope.
