@bpsenvpsych.bsky.social I’d like to add this to the #EnvironmentalPsychology resources on the section’s BPS pages. www.routledge.com/Environmenta...

This is farcical. Katie Lam didn't speak "imprecisely". She accurately stated the Conservative party's existing policy, which they tried to pass as a Bill in Parliament earlier this year, and which Badenoch's spokesman defended himself just last week.

For years Nigel Farage has banged on about billionaire George Soros influencing the political climate in Britain and the rest of the world. Now - Farage's Reform is poised to take a rumoured £100 million from Elon Musk and the right wing media doesn't bat an eyelid.

Wessex Water’s Malaysian owners under investigation for corruption Won't happen in England, Govts protect companies Wessex is serial offender, dumps sewage in rivers, paid £78m dividend last yr, £3bn debt; 47 criminal convictions; but no investigation. democracyforsale.substack.com/p/revealed-w...

Third of Yorkshire Water customer bill cash goes on debt & dividend Similar with other water companies. Money borrowed to pay dividends, investment neglected, sewage dumped, customers fleeced; aapproved by OFWAT. Must end the farce. Nationalise without compensation. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The row over Kemi Badenoch’s dislike of what Keir Starmer’s spokesman cringingly described as “the Great British institution” of the sandwich is clearly absurd, but it also reveals a lot about why she is continuing to push the Conservative party towards ever greater irrelevance and an assisted death

imagine a country so furious about drag performers that it voted for polio

Huge thanks to everyone who’s chipped in to make LBD interventions happen this year. We’re 100% funded by small donations & refuse big donors to protect us from becoming reliant on any individual source. Wanna help? Link in bio👆

I heard RFK Jr. is floating the banning of the polio vaccine so seems like a good time to remind folks that RFK Jr. was vaccinated with this same vaccine & therefore is at no risk of harm himself Kinda like when he publicly was against the covid vaccine yet privately required his guests to have it🙃

This week, the Muslim Council of Britain's Centre for Media Monitoring produced a detailed report into anti-Muslim content on GB News, which raises serious questions both for the channel - and for #Ofcom over its repeated failure to uphold its own rules. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... /1

I once got elected as my country's opposition leader and the only thing I was noticed for in my first six weeks in office was having a go at sandwiches

Lord Frost: "You don't make the poor richer by making the rich poorer. You have an economic policy that lifts everybody." Natalie Fleet MP: "That didn't work over 14 years. That's what we've seen: everybody get poorer." Lord Frost: "We didn't do it as well as we should have." ~AA #PoliticsLive

Remember all the outraged coverage about a handful of climate protesters slowing ambulances a few years back? Well it turns out that wealthy farmers doing exactly the same thing on a much bigger scale is absolutely fine bylinetimes.com/2024/12/12/t...

Britain leads the world in cracking down on climate activism, study finds Research shows UK police arrest environmental and climate protesters at three times the average global rate www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“How will an ambulance get through?” A question only asked of those trying to save our planet, not millionaire landowners trying to hoard wealth. Farmers received record support in the budget. Pay what is still less than your fair share, take your tractors and piss off.

Why Britain’s doctors are in revolt To save the NHS money, the General Medical Council has been pushing the use of physician associates in place of qualified doctors—and putting patients at risk. A must read from @doctoroxford.bsky.social www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/pol...

Hang on, Labour building affordable housing that we desperately need is being slated as a “controversial” by the media? Having already been slated for *checks notes* stopping race riots and paying nurses/ teachers properly? Those evil bastards. What will they do next? Give schoolkids breakfast?

2024: Kemi Badenoch, "The Prime Minister Keir Starmer has consistently backed criminals over law abiding British people" 2014: Conservative Home Secretary Theresa May recommended Keir Starmer for a knighthood in recognition of his contributions as the Director of Public Prosecutions (2008-2013)

Nigel Farage: Women-beating criminals are welcome to become Reform Party MPs. Reform UK leader defends James McMurdock, with Beth Rigby on Sky News.

100+ Guardian & Observer journalists have written to the Guardian to ask why the Scott Trust has refused to answer basic questions about the deal to give the Observer to a financially failing media start-up www.theguardian.com/media/2024/d...

In the USA you don't spend money for healthcare, you spend money for the profits of Big Pharma (30%), the profits of Doctors and hospitals (10%), the totally unnecessary existence of Health Insurance and their profits (40%). Only 20% actually goes on healthcare.

Long piece in the Sunday Times about Clement Atlee's grandson potentially losing his seat in the House of Lords... and how unfair this is because his grandfather "gave Britain the NHS." Something something "expertise." Absolutely preposterous. Much like the House of Lords.

Meanwhile…

I have no idea why Prince William is sitting down with a rapist and convicted felon. I don’t give a single shit he’s a working Royal. When men sit down with rapists and smile for cameras you’re normalising rape.

Burn 🔥🤣

Even Amnesty knows it now.

"An agreement to sell The Observer to news start-up Tortoise Media prompted a row at an all-staff company meeting hours after the deal was struck. "Bosses were jeered & accused by staff of concocting an 'establishment stitch-up' & 'riding roughshod over our values'" www.thetimes.com/uk/media/art...

Vulture auction of Thames Water. Covalis offers £1bn to buy TW, flog assets to generate £4bn. Buyers counting on mega hike in customer bills, asset-stripping. Sewage dumping, cash extraction will continue. Only nationalisation can safeguard water services. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/tham...

Open season on UK pensioners. Tories want to axe triple lock on pension, will kill thousands. Average state pension is less than 50% of the minimum wage. Last yr 111,000 pensioners died in fuel poverty. Billions available for foreign wars & corporate welfare news.sky.com/story/tory-g...

How awful things need to get for our government to bring true accountability to water companies, energy providers etc and re-empower regulators, HMRC and other bodies ?

You’d really have to do some contorted mental gymnastics to interpret Starmer’s comments as racist. He was taking the piss out of someone middle class thinking if you work in McDonalds for a couple of days it makes you working class. She’s trying to hide her foolishness news.sky.com/story/starme...

Shannon Kyle, "This is what Gregg Wallace said to me in a restaurant" "If you won't let me sleep with you, would you lick my ars*hole" "At dinner I had eton mess for dessert, he asked me: what would you think if I put some of the eton mess on my willy"

My daughter (16) got her new 'locked down' laptop from her school today. It took her 20 mins to work out that she could get VPN software on it via airdrop. I don't think this social media ban is going to work.

So much strike coverage today & no time to read it but thank you to @davidfolkenflik.bsky.social for this excellent piece for @npr.org. This isn't just a threat to UK journalism. It diminishes the Guardian globally at a time when journalism couldn't matter more www.npr.org/2024/12/04/n...

Amos Goldberg, Professor of Genocide Studies at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem "Yes, it is genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. Jewish history will henceforth be stained" Is there anyone more qualified and unbiased?

Left: Kemi Badenoch, "The country needs conviction politicians, not politicians with convictions" Right: Kemi Badenoch wants Donald Trump (guilty of 34 convictions) to address parliament

Nigel Farage, who has repeatedly accused migrants of making women in the UK unsafe, is now refusing to act against a fellow Reform MP who was jailed for beating up his own girlfriend, and is now calling for a 'debate' on restricting women's reproductive rights bylinetimes.com/2024/11/29/n...

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services. Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt. While Norway still owns everything and has the equivilant per person of £10tn. That's how privatisation 'works'.
