The view of Ripon Cathedral from the Water Rat in North Yorkshire must be one of the best pub views in Britain

This war isn't going to end quickly and the fossil fuel supply crisis will get worse. So the government needs to act quickly to cut consumption and help Britain become more independent from fossil fuels. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The attempts to undermine mid term elections is stepped up. Trump can't win free and fair elections but he can cheat. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Finally catching up, are we? So can we dispense with Palantir now? Or paying higher prices for US pharmaceuticals? Or anything else that makes a deal with EU more complicated? As for allowing US bombers to take off from UK soil, enough already! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Don’t let this go by unnoticed

The sooner Britain starts preparing properly for the fossil fuel driven price rises and shortages the better. We then need to start to make sure our food supplies are more reliable. Importing around half your food is a very bad idea in an insecure world.

Expensive and unreliable oil and gas supplies mean there is an urgent need for governments to organise reduced use and speed up the switch to renewables and battery storage. tradingeconomics.com/commodity/cr...

The earth continues to heat up at an astonishingly worrying pace. Far too many world leaders are in the pockets of the fossil fuel industry www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This basic common sense measure has taken an age to implement because of industry lobbying. It is way overdue and too little too late www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Hareholme & Waterfoot (Rossendale & Darwen) Council By-Election Result: 🌍 GRN: 37.7% (+9.2) ➡️ RFM: 34.5% (New) 🌹 LAB: 19.2% (-27.9) 🌳 CON: 6.8% (-17.6) 🔶 LDM: 1.8% (New) Green GAIN from Labour. Changes w/ 2024.

Now I understand his thinking. The problem isn't that he mixed with a known paedophile and exploited young girls for sex. The problem is that the woman who was meant to shield him didn't succeed in covering it up well enough. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

People need hope. @greenparty.org.uk is offering it. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Bizarre unstable weather conditions are exactly what climate scientists predicted. The speed of the loss of ice and snow exceeds their worst projections. Yet the US President encourages the oil and gas industry to drill baby drill & burn baby burn the rest of us. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Another industry lobby group buys its way into influencing decisions made by Starmer's government?

Just wait until these eyesore monstrosities want to come to your neighborhood. Goodbye trees. Expect to hear a constant, electrical humming, warmer temperatures and higher energy bills. Fight like hell to keep data centers out of your area.

“Starmer must end this involvement in Iran and stop the King's visit to the USA.” @zackpolanski.bsky.social calls on Starmer to show leadership - stop UK involvement in illegal wars, refuse concessions to Trump, and oppose normalising fascism through inappropriate state visits.

"We need to look at economic sovereignty for the UK" @zackpolanski.bsky.social outlines the risks and alternatives to US dependency for economic, military, and energy security.

You can see pretty clearly when the President decided to reassure a worried nation.

Rambling, confused, threatening, boastful, lying and arrogant. A typically deluded speech from Donald Trump inews.co.uk/news/world/t...

Reform's supposedly Shadow Housing Minister takes insensitivity to a new level and insults the memory of the victims of the Grenfell fire. inews.co.uk/news/grenfel...

A history of the top marginal tax rates on the wealthiest Americans: 1940: 81% 1950: 84% 1960: 91% 1970: 72% 1980: 70% 1990: 28% 2000: 40% 2010: 35% For 50 years, corporate backed politicians in Congress have slashed taxes to line the pockets of their wealthy donors.

Starmer knows leaving the EU was a huge mistake but doesn't have the honesty to tell the British public the truth. Rejoin now

Thanks to our windfarms, solar and batteries Britain has significant amounts of cheap energy that doesn't depend on supplies from abroad. Thanks to Donald Trump the US has another bad war and exploitative fossil fuel suppliers rapidly raising prices

The Government can revoke the Tory rule that Public Sector workers have to be in the office for 40% of the time even if they are in roles which can be done from home or are peripatetic like Social Workers. That would be a smart move

He’s placed every single American in grave danger with his irresponsible, greedy decisions & continues to do so. He’s unfit for office. His state of mind clearly plays into the policies & decisions he’s forcing upon us all. Remove this felon from office immediately. @democrats-judiciary.house.gov

Locally generated green energy provides cheap power that is available regardless of international crises. Trump is leaving the US over dependent on outdated technology that more advanced economies like China are replacing at speed. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Britain has several marine protection areas. The problem is that they are neither properly protected nor effectively policed. We need much stronger rules and to stop scraping the ocean floor clear of almost all life www.theguardian.com/environment/...

There is a major energy crisis of both supply and cost already baked in as a result of Trump's war so why aren't we hearing campaigns and seeing funding for cutting down on use especially at peak times and using public transport? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

What kind of God supports wiping out species and speeding up the ruination of the planet in order to make more money for ultra rich owners of fossil fuel companies? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

NATO would be better off without Trump. Is he remotely aware that this should mean US military leaving British territory and German territory which would considerably handicap his next ill thought out military adventure undertaken without consulting his former allies. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c3...

This is HUGE mistake. I would understand continuing with the visit, despite humiliating circumstances, if it had any genuine chance of restoring transatlantic relations. But it won’t. Trump will bask in the spotlight, and go back to slagging off the UK one day later. www.nbcnews.com/world/united...

Regardless of the issue, it's always the same story: commercial interests allowed to ride roughshod over everything and everyone else. Faced with the urgent need for action, successive governments twiddle their thumbs. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Hilarious how for years serious people have said that you can't rely on renewables because they are prone to disruptions in supply www.ft.com/content/19f1...

"Even an elaborate cheating scheme won’t be enough to deliver Orbán victory if the polls are correct." This is a big deal:

you can only really fix the NHS if you also have a National Care Service to go with it. There’s no way the NHS can afford to burden the increasing cost of elder care. And it would be cheaper for everyone in the long run. Wouldn’t you rather pay a few quid extra tax or sell your house to fund care?

Near Aix en Provence there is a brick factory where thousands of local people were shut away before being sent to the death camps. Central message of the museum is doing nothing is complicity. Don't be complicit with Trump and Farage

Mark Zuckerberg, an outspoken critic of "man-made climate change", shows off his new $300 million, 287-foot mega yacht, powered by four gigantic diesel engines. What's that word oh yea hypocrite that fits .

💪 Another busy weekend across our district! From litter picks to leafleting to door knocking, #Bradford Greens are out in our communities, come rain or shine 🌧 🌞 🌦 ✅️ Let's turn Bradford Green on May 7th.

So Nenyahu wanted to quietly steal the whole of the West Bank and Southern Lebanon to create greater Israel and Trump thought he could safely steal a lot of oil.

The price of Trump's war continues to mount up. He created this mess but he can't fix it. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Trump's attempts to negotiate with the Iranian President to establish a compliant regime aren't going well.

Well I suppose Charles is meeting with one person who knows the truth about Epstein and perhaps he feels pity for a failed wannabe fellow King.

#EpsteinFiles #EpsteinClass

“Netanyahu orders expansion of security buffer zone in southern Lebanon” I love Israel’s euphemisms for “illegal occupation”. I guess I’ll establish a “security buffer zone” in my neighbor’s yard and plant a root garden…​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

How can the BBC justify how much coverage they give other marches which are significantly smaller in size? The bias is so obviously blatant. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live...

Good The World Cup should not be held in America whilst Trump is in power. He knows 0% about football but will claim he knows everything
