Mayday, mayday! The big day is approaching fast and I still have not found a single event! Preferably in the UK North-East, but anything goes at this point, really.

🤷🏻‍♂️ Systematisk israelisk förstörelse av livsvillkor också i Libanon nu 🤷🏻‍♂️

A timely and comprehensive study coming out of the UK on decommissioning and socio-economic impacts 👇

Ready for the 44th International Labour Process Conference in Leeds! Will be presenting on the labour of oil & gas decommissioning tomorrow

Will be following this output with interest!

Israel destroyed all of the town of Al-Khiam in southern Lebanon within a month.

My morning got cheered up by reading about Australian unions putting forward demands for rigorous and timely decommissioning to create lots of local jobs in the circular economy – while also stating that the polluters should be paying: www.parliament.vic.gov.au/4968db/conte...

North Sea operator company is fined £16.5 million for failing to deliver timely plugging & abandonment of inactive wells

Brits: What do you do on the 1st of May? Do you really treat the internationational worker's day just like any other?

This little documentary from @platform1983.bsky.social is spot on about the need for a just transition on the North Sea platformlondon.org/multimedia/o...

"The health ministry said 110 of those killed were children, women and elderly people" Just awful.

Wetherspoons is like Ikea, but a pub

Israel passar på att bomba synagogan i Teheran.

Landet som oppfant atombomba truer med å "utslette en hel sivilisasjon". Dette er å spre frykt for å oppnå politiske mål og noe USA ikke ville nølt et sekund med å stemple som terror hvis det kom fra annet hold. Kan vi værsåsnill kutte alle millitære bånd til Trumps USA nå?

The CfP for this year's Historical Materialism annual conference in London, under the title 'Planetary Warscapes Ablaze: Imperial Mutations in Infernal Times', is now online! Mark it in your calendars, prepare your abstracts, book your travel!

It is rare to see legislation requiring fossil companies to set aside money for decommissioning. Here are some interesting reflections on what should change: thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

A great read on conjunctural analysis 👇 [Spoilers]: The point is to change it

Credit where its due, Miliband's stance on the North Sea is exemplary

A sobering analysis on why the shock doctrine of pushing more fossil extraction from the North Sea in the current energy crisis will not help the consumer 👇

Israels efterlyste försvarsminister berättar på presskonferens att han beordrat nya krigsförbrytelser: ’Israel Katz says he and ⁠Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have ordered the military to accelerate ‌the demolitions of Lebanese homes in “front-line villages”’ aje.news/ohi6b8?updat...

We have to destroy all trucks and SUVs...we must do it for America

The Trump administration is escalating threats against news outlets. https://www.democracynow.org/2026/3/18/free_press

Skoleeksempel på sosialpornografi fra NRK. Ikke noe forsøk på å si noe om de strukturelle årsakene til hvorfor Middlesbrough sliter, bare masse fattige familier. Ikke et ord om Thatcher, City of London eller avindustrialisering www.nrk.no/urix/der-6-a...

In his book Uneven Development, Marxist geographer Neil Smith described capital as a plague of locusts going from place to place, but today I came across another neat simile: Capital as a serial killer (from Burill & Penny 2025 www-taylorfrancis-com.ezproxy.uio.no/chapters/edi...)

Quite shocked to learn about the levels of debt facing brits going to university. Tuition fees are through the roof and unless you are from a wealthy background you will have to pay an usurious interest rates on your loans – effectively constituting an extra tax for the working class.

NEW: Fossil fuel pollution and other toxic chemicals from the war in Iran will spread across the region and last for decades just as smoke from burning oil wells went as far as the Himalayas following the Gulf War 35 years ago FREE read on @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

The best way to end the affordability fallout from this war is to end the war.

I think we should all push for a four day week everywhere in solidarity!

For what would have been Mike Davis's 80th birthday today, we've put the Essential Mike Davis collection on sale through the weekend. "We must fight like the Red Army in the rubble of Stalingrad. Fight with hope, fight without hope, but fight absolutely."

A very interesting read! Especially in light of the full blown regional war in the Middle East

TIL that fracking has been banned in the UK after causing several earthquakes. The responsible company was ordered to decommission the site by June 2022, but has consistently failed to meet deadlines since.

Fixed fossil capital is not built over night, or without anticipating sufficient profit to cover the immense expenses. Thread pointing out some dynamics of the current crisis 👇

In Manchester, on the international women's day 8th of March, newly elected MP Hannah Spencer was chased by a gang of aggressive men. This is just an awful crowd and we need people out in the streets to stand up to them.

Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.

Nice one, Bill

Telling Jesus he'll never make it if he keeps being so hostile to wealth. Advising him to moderate his message to appeal to the Galilee suburbs

Old school social democracy 😎

Kort sammanfattning om någon typ av initial analys av allt som händer. 1. USA blev indragna av att Israel tryckte för att agera. Trump ville inte missa ögonblicket som i juni. 2. De hade räknat med att junibombningarna skulle försvagat både de politiska och militära resurserna. ->

For some sane coverage of the war on Iran I can recommend @democracynow.org. Amy Goodman and the crew have been covering the excesses of the US empire since the 90s and represent an invaluable voice in times like these

He was on parental leave.

As prices of oil & gas surge, not only will we see costs of living crisis worsen – we once more risk fossil capital pouring new billions into extending the productive life of late-life oil fields that would otherwise have been decommissioned. In turn, more lock-in & industry fear of stranded assets

The UK's permission for the US to use its bases in attacking Iran amounts to complicity in the crime of aggression. It drags us into what could be an endless war, without democratic or even parliamentary consent.

What do you think the media reaction would be if an Iranian missile killed 148 schoolgirls in Tel Aviv.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

This is about oil, not nuclear, isn't it

Ah yes the 10-day war package. Excellent choice. Some people are fond of the 21 day package but I personally think it gets a bit drab after 10.

Nei, NRK. Dette er et *narrativ* fra Maga. Dette er ikke grunnen til at USA og Israel angriper Iran. Håpløst.

Really gives hope to hear the leader of the RMT deliver a clear vision for working class power in a fiery speech at the Pitman's Parliament in Durham this evening ✊ what a place, what a movement
