Doesn't change the fact that Trump incited insurgency on Jan 6th.

What is the point of a public service broadcaster if it doesn't tell the truth? BBC licence fee payers deserve better than 24/7 Farage propaganda. Ffs. 🙏 no more right wing Tory management and *journalists*. No wonder so many people switched off since Johnson. substack.com/@martindavie...

The way Palestine Action protesters have been detained for long periods on remand awaiting trial - not convicted of the offences they're accused of - for acts of nonviolent disruption is an absolute scandal.

'swathes of land will have to be given up to be used as floodplains, to protect homes in areas around Breydon Water + along the Waveney Valley from flooding...learn from the Netherlands where communities were being protected by creating more wetland + flood plain to absorb rising water levels.'

Environmental groups have won a landmark case against a project to drill for offshore gas in Italy's Po Delta, a UNESCO-designated biosphere reserve. The 500 km2 wetlands located around an hour south of Venice are some of the largest and richest in the Mediterranean. www.euronews.com/green/2024/1...

Seeing so many posts about who “Starmer and Nandy” will appoint as director general. Easy mistake but the government does not appoint the director general! The BBC board, whose members are appointed for rolling terms by the culture secretary, appoints the director general.

looks like senate dems are folding on the shutdown in exchange for a doomed vote 40 days from now and nothing else

British democracy? A king who is unaccountable? A press owned by far right tax exiles? A Government ignoring all who voted for it? The unpunished criminality of Mone and the criminal incompetence of Vennells? There‘s not much democracy left!

This has been obvious for some time. None are so blind as those who will not see.

Be clear, the American far right are coming for British democracy.

2/ Perhaps #R4Today will cover the fact that the US government is shut down because Trump doesn't want the Epstein files released? Perhaps Emma Barnett or Trumpy Webb will discuss #Project25 instead of interviewing the Heritage Foundation? 🤔

In this episode of @planetpossible.bsky.social, Julie Foley comments how ridiculous it is that the EA draws up coastal erosion management plans with foremost experts, and everyone, including the government, feels completely free to ignore them when building: share.google/mlAONLAEMmpo...

Ahead of this month’s Budget, I’ll be delivering this open letter to the Prime Minister and Chancellor. It calls on them to tax wealth to fund urgent action on the cost-of-living crisis. Thousands have already signed — add your name today. 🔗 bit.ly/TaxWealthAutumnBudget

2. ... It is perhaps worth considering an alternative hypothesis, namely that the immune dysregulation effect of SARS-CoV-2 infection is contributing to the severity of recent winter flu seasons. *my emphasis Regardless, here's what's going to happen:

1. Rather than, 'Two of the worst winter flu seasons of the past decade have been seen in the last three years, something partly attributed to the *bounce-back of the virus after Covid restrictions were lifted combined with immunity being low*'... www.bbc.com/news/article...

Did you know a former White House climate advisor flipped a GOP stronghold in Virginia by running entirely on putting a stop to more AI data centers? For @heatmap.news I profiled John McAuliff and a campaign that will be a roadmap for all future anti-AI politicians moving forward.

The Budget is due on 26 November. If you have sometimes thought that you could do a better job than the Chancellor, now is your chance to find out if you are right. 99-percent.org/if-you-were-...

We share guidance including the new NEU ventilation guidance & encourage schools to take immediate, medium & long-term steps. By sharing good practice & grassroots experience we hope to help school communities feel confident discussing the air children breathe www.safeairschools.org/improving-cl...

We really valued joining the World Ventilate Day panel on Engineering Healthier Indoor Environments. The discussion on effective ventilation resonated - these are the same challenges we hear from parents and teachers regularly.

Tesla’s profit fell 37% in the third quarter. It's been in the process of laying off 14,000 workers. It had more cars impacted by recalls than any other brand in 2024. Yet Elon Musk just got a pay package worth $1 trillion. American capitalism is off the rails.

No one..... NO ONE ON THIS BLUE GREEN MARBLE earns a trillion dollars

Picked up cut-price plums and cream today, had unused pastry in the fridge, so baked this tart for #Friyay #Dessert in the #Airfryer . Learned to make it decades ago from a swiss farmer's wife during a working holiday on a farm.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Dear GOD if you want to save money in the asylum system 1. LET ASYLUM SEEKERS WORK 2. FAST TRACK STATUS FOR EVERYONE FROM CLEARLY UNDAFE COUNTRIES like Sudan, Syria, etc 3. Run an asylum accommodation system that is NOT FOR PROFIT #r4today

"Far from draining our welfare system, migrants are supporting the British state’s solvency." New analysis by @lgilbert.co ukandeu.ac.uk/lower-migrat...

I've lived in the West. I've lived in the Middle East. I've lived in Southeast Asia. I've devoted a not inconsiderable amount of time and energy trying to understand the political, social, and economic structures of these places. There are some notable differences, but we're basically all the same.

That, my friends, does not look good

There needs to be trials and there needs to be people sent to die in a prison cell. Consequences must fall on the people who issued the orders and those who carried them out. We must make the punishment of these people a national spectacle that will be remembered for generations.

TAKEN AT HER COURT HEARING. To all those Americans deceiving themselves that ICE is only going after rapists and murderers, another reminder that’s a lie. They are targeting folks doing the right thing, because it is easier and otherwise they don’t have enough people to arrest. Wake up now.

Conservative Graham Stuart, "You will be tired of hearing 14 years all the time. The Conservatives were thrown out, we lost, hands up, we lost the trust of the people" No, I'm not tired of hearing of 14 yrs of Conservative underfunding and chaos. But I am glad you're out of office #BBCQT

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Just in case anyone is wondering how accurate this is... (TLDR: yep,🎯) I asked Google "is it correct to say that SARS-CoV-2 is a vasculopathic, neuroinvasive biohazard?" Here's the answer it gave 👇
