The worm is turning. The #mediarevolution is under way

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

Their response, following my complaint on behalf of XR, was that disclosure would have “the potential to damage the reputation and distress trustees” and that “the greater public interest lies in withholding information”

The case for a Media Revolution writ large

It is the unfathomable wilfulness of the Mail’s race to the bottom

Why are our politicians so reluctant to ride this wave?

Fishier and fishier. And in broad daylight too. New Director of Programmes for BBC News John McAndrew spent a year as Editorial Director and Director of News and Programmes at GB News.Unconscionable. @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @bbcnewsuk.bsky.social @hzeffman.bsky.social @bbcmarcosilva.bsky.social

Time for a #MediaRevolution

The renowned Professor James Hansen has published peer reviewed research that warns we are on a trajectory for 8°C to 10°C of global heating. This would be a mass extinction event that kills virtually all people on the planet. See: – academic.oup.com/oocc/article...

In January 2025 the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries and Exeter University published a report that warned that 4 billion people could be killed at 3°C of global heating. It also warned that the strength of the various climate feedbacks means we could reach 3°C of global heating by the year 2050.

If only media interviewers would push back on disingenuous politicians with these facts to hand. #mediarevolution @telegraphnews.bsky.social @thedailymail.bsky.social‬ @itnproductions.bsky.social ‬ @hzeffman.bsky.social @cfraserbbc.bsky.social @bbcmaryam.bsky.social @faisalislam.bsky.social ‪

Solidarity

Coutinho employing the cynical cherrypicking so beloved of the fossil fuel propagandist

"Fight..."

When I was in southern France last year, the crops had failed to the extent that a neighbouring farmer, seeing which way the wind was blowing, had switched from tomatoes to Spirolina, a famine crop. Desertification creeps northwards…

Africa is skipping the polluting and planet-wrecking fossil fuel era entirely. Solar grids and clean tech at massive scale mean that once-dark village are glowing with renewable light. The future isn’t coming from the West — it’s rising in the South.

What have we become

An important deep dive into the psychology of inaction but of course central to the blockage of public understanding and action is the disinformation machine of the billionaire media...the front line in the battle for truth.

Something the Mail and the Telegraph missed.

It is amazing how overt is the sense of impunity as 2 GB News alumni are now in charge of news oversight

“Some investors love fossil fuels so much they are backing assets that would be stranded even under the worst climate scenarios.” …Thanatos

The arguments in a nutshell in case you find yourself in conversation with the poorly informed.

The last generation

More specifically, where is the fear for their children?

Keir Starmer's aides are reportedly telling him not to go to the COP30 climate conference, because Reform would attack him for it. Yes, they might. And he should wear it as a badge of honour. Standing up for humanity, for science and a habitable planet. Where's the hazard in that?

The GB Newsification of the BBC is so brazen and so depressing. @jonfrewin.bsky.social @olgar.bsky.social @shayan86.bsky.social @benedictgarman.com @benchu.bsky.social @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @bbcnewsuk.bsky.social @bbcsounds.bsky.social @hzeffman.bsky.social @zurch.bsky.social

My piece on why war is not a distraction from climate breakdown. They amplify each other.

Sand Banksy…brilliant!

And there you have it...

All news 24 hour news channels in the UK are showing the Charlie Kirk beatification in its entirety! Brazen normalisation and celebration of fascism without commentary. Terrifying!

The voice of business responds…

This is hugely important. A last chance saloon for political understanding. Please repost. www.nebriefing.org

The reporting on Charlie Kirk’s killer in the UK & US highlights again how fundamentally ill equipped mainstream media is to report on political violence in the digital age. They do not know anything about online far right meme culture & it’s starting to do real harm. #r4today

Some nuggets from Nigel's 'friend'... Vote Reform, vote for this...👀

Oh Lordy, make it so…

In trying to remove the Banksy outside the Royal Courts they have made it even more effective as a metaphor for dark forces: A real Nosferatu vibe!

Post truth, post shame…

And this is Farage’s template…

Yet more, increasingly desperate, calls for the media to tell the truth.

Apologies. It seems I have been hacked and every follower has received a spam 'badge offer.' Not sure what I can do about it. Suggestions welcome.

The lying is positively pathological!
