“Sustainable” timber isn’t always safe. Forests are being destroyed, Indigenous communities displaced and critically endangered species like the Malayan tiger are under threat. Demand the UK government takes action @friends-earth.bsky.social action.friendsoftheearth.uk/petition/sto...

The Government needs to realise more regulation won’t fix our broken water system. We need to kick financial predators out & take it back into public control. But don’t just take it from me. Listen to a sewage campaigner who inspired Channel 4’s ‘Dirty Business’. @windrushwasp.bsky.social

Israel and the US appear to want to do to Tehran what they have done to Gaza: reduce a busy and complex society to a toxic wasteland.

I reckon the journos have got some competition going, to see who's the first to do a 'gotcha' on Zack. Waste of time 😊

Pulp poetry.

Our right to protest is under threat. I just signed @friends-earth.bsky.social petition to stop new police powers that could shut down many peaceful protests and weaken our democratic rights. Add your name too: action.friendsoftheearth.uk/petition/rig...

Reform vision for British women - have children as early as possible (wouldn’t want you to be educated or have a career, now). If you don’t we’ll tax you and your stupid barren womb. But don’t have any more than 2 kids or we’ll take aware your state benefits.

First Past the Post can no longer deliver real mandates - only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped. Yet the Representation of the People Bill won’t even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented. Tell Keir Starmer to change this. actionnetwork.org/petitions/th...

How long are we going to hear about “legitimate debates and concerns about immigration?” It’s time we told the truth and deal with it. Net migration is low, we need more migrants, we are an ageing population. Highly skilled and low paid jobs are dependent on migrants. We need safe and legal routes.

⭐ Immigration is vital to the UK. ♥️ Immigrants are friends, family, and integral parts to our community. ❌ We must reject a politics that derives a persons value from the place where they were born.

'Share' if you agree we need more people like Chris in this world!

The Govt’s own assessment warns that climate change & biodiversity loss threaten long-term food security & worsen natural disasters. I’m pressing for a debate on the Joint Intelligence Assessment so Parliament can scrutinise this important report.

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Watched the estimable Martin Lewis tonight. Why we have made life so complicated for ourselves that we need to spend our leisure time comparing deals and tariffs for utilities, insurance, phones, credit cards, etc, to make sure we're not being ripped off. It was all a lot simpler when I were a lad!

Very interesting and informative discussion, well worth an hour of your time.

The red dot is a baby North Atlantic right whale trying to migrate up the east coast of the United states. The blue streaks are fast moving shipping vessels entering and leaving New York City harbor. One collision and the whale is dead. We need *mandatory* speed limits for these vessels! 🧪🦑🌍

Good morning. A regular reminder: a tiny few hoard staggering wealth and own much of the media, while millions struggle to survive. That’s not an accident. It’s a choice made by those in power. Tax wealth. Fund public services. Build an economy for everyone - not the 1%.

You can judge a person by the size of their moral circle. Trump, for instance, has the smallest possible moral circle, containing only him. Be the opposite: expand your circle. Include, for example, animals currently raised for food. We shut them out of our consciences. It's time to bring them in.

I implore someone, anyone, in the media… Do your job And the next time you have Farage on, please ask him directly: …what were the motivations behind this?

Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

They don't care about foxes, they don't care about their hounds, and they don't care about their horses. Time to end this 'sport' once and for all.

Ah, Autumn, season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, and barmy weather forecasts from the Daily Express 😊

Great investigation of the Nazis, racists and criminals mobilising the flag-on-lamp-posts movement. This is the kind of journalism that the national media could and should have conducted: manchestermill.co.uk/the-men-who-...

Yay. Priceless. The right column at the right time. And a gleefully English two fingers to the haters.

This beautiful story of farming, friendship and fieldcraft would make a wonderful Christmas present - if you can't bear to give it away! #naturewriting #booksky

British.

Jane Goodall said she would launch Trump and Musk on one-way trip into space

Reforms immigration plans make absolutely zero economic sense- further proof they don't live in the same world as me and you They bloody love a gimmick though don't they!

The NHS is crumbling, schools are underfunded, energy bills keep rising – & billionaires keep getting richer It’s time to put an end to this catastrophic inequality It’s time to tax the super-rich & use the money to fund the services we all depend on. It's time to #MakeThemPay

I think the coolest thing you can do right now is live with integrity and care about the people around you, not just your friends and family but your community. Deny the lie they want you to believe, that taking as much as you can while giving nothing back is the goal.

I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore. So I wrote a blog about ten things you can do *right now* to help defeat Farage, Musk, and rightwing populism. From scrutinising Reform councillors to demanding the UK Govt leave X - get involved: guyshrubsole.substack.com/p/ten-things...

This is my flag.

The billionaire press barons must be having a right laugh… Here we are distracted & arguing over asylum seekers (0.2% of the population) Meanwhile, billionaires (just 0.0002% of the population) hoard more wealth than half the UK Immigration isn’t draining us Inequality is.

With the click of a button, ask Sky News what they’re doing to ensure balanced reporting. Because they seem to cover every move Farage makes. www.bestforbritain.org/complaint_sk...

I'm calling on the Speaker to block Trump from addressing Parliament during his unprecedented second State Visit. Will you join me actionstorm.org/petitions/du...

I didn't vote Labour, and I have issues with some of Starmer's domestic policies, but it has to be said that he's looked every bit the serious statesman this last week. So good to see Britain playing a leading role in Europe again. I feel proud to be British, and it's a while since I felt that 😊.

I will never understand how this wasn’t the end for either of these deranged brats. Every milquetoast brownnoser who elevated or defended them hoping for a crumb from their unearned power should be ashamed. You knew. The evidence was right there. But you liked standing near the big boys.
