Irish citizens to receive emergency preparedness booklets covering the growing threat of extreme weather, based on advice from the Dept of Defence. What is the UK Government's plan to forewarn and protect its citizens? UK is not prepared. See video clip below www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

This week's column is about something that's arguably more important than anything in the news, crucial as some of the other issues are. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This May’s elections are expected to bring chaos because our voting system is broken. I’ve written to my MP to push for fairer elections before it’s too late. It takes 2 minutes to do the same here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell... @compassoffice.bsky.social

Board of Peace - Season 1

We are facing an extremely serious threat. There is much we can do, but action will not happen until the public is informed. Please ask your MP to sign the Parliamentary Call for a televised emergency briefing on the #climate and #nature crisis. #NEB2025 www.nebriefing.org/parliamentar...

I just signed a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social petition: Stop the water stitch-up!. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/st...

NEW: NEW: Standards commissioner finds Nigel Farage committed seventeen breaches of MPs code of conduct. He failed to declare £333,000 in outside interests (more than 3x MPs annual salary)…

Five Jobs Farage is spending far too much time cashing in on anything & everything, while ignoring the job he is paid to do: being an MP. Just like his idol Donald Trump, Farage thinks politics is all about lining his own pockets. His constituents deserve an MP who will do their job.

If only there was a group of countries on our doorstep which we could form an economic union with which might provide us with some better leverage in any negotiations and protection in a trade war. Any ideas anyone?

"The overuse and pollution of water must be tackled urgently, the report’s lead author said, because no one knew when the whole system could collapse, with implications for peace and social cohesion" But we won't tackle it urgently will we.....? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

People Are Still Not Getting Trump Right open.substack.com/pub/phillips... Tempting though it is to see Trump as a deranged toddler, this argument deserves to be heard. Trump is Putin's dream. Why? Because Trump and his cabal see the world only in the context of military power - US, Russia, China.

Worth every second

❌We don’t need water company ‘MOTs’ and stickers on dishwashers. We need real action to fix a system that has been ripping people off and illegally dumping sewage with no accountability. We need public ownership. Help us act: actionnetwork.org/forms/water-...

British newspapers are working to harm us. Puppets of oil companies, climate change action disgusts them. Time to dump the Telegraph and the rest of them.

'We've got to stand up to Donald Trump, he's a bully' Liberal Democrats leader Ed Davey tells #BBCBreakfast the UK should cancel the planned visit by King Charles to the United States in the row over the US President's threat over Greenland

“Trump is acting like an international gangster” Ed Davey

This was a popular idea back when DJT first set out his tariff policy. IIRC Canada and China either did this or threatened to. Can anyone with the necessary knowledge tell me if it is a viable weapon to use against him now?

Awful trend

This is what climate breakdown looks like But this is just the begining...... www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Not for the first time, it looks like Channel 4 just handed the keys to their socials to an evil genius:

‘Failed State’ is a brilliant read. Anyone interested in how to avoid the mistakes of past two decades has to read it.

BREAKING: “Starmer’s US policy lies in tatters. Trump is now punishing the UK and NATO allies just for doing the right thing” says Ed Davey

The big reveal at Reform's latest press conference:

South East Water have done the extraordinary by making Thames Water look good. The Liberal Democrats have long called for a better regulator to fix our broken water industry. We are also calling for water companies such as Thames Water to be made a public benefit company.

This is huge: For the first time since the early 1970s, coal power generation has fallen in both China & India. It undercuts claims that decarbonisation is pointless while they expand coal. Renewables are no longer just adding capacity — they’re displacing coal. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

One more rat is leaving the sinking ship - the Conservatives are out of ideas and Reform only have bad ones.

Tonight's turret meeting will be pretty awkward

Other countries are already acting to protect children from the harms of chatbots and social media. 2026 must be the year the UK does the same, by putting children’s mental health before corporate profit.

Do you want your van washed for free? Try smuggling illegal meat into the UK. You won’t be arrested, your vehicle won’t be seized — instead your lorry gets a taxpayer-funded wash and you drive on.

Surely the case for bringing the water industry back into public ownership is now unanswerable

So much disinformation pedalled by people who surely know better and are mostly motivated by personal self interest

Ed Miliband continues to preside over the only bit of the govt doing good stuff, today with the excellent announcement that the latest CfD auction has secured *8.4GW* of new offshore wind! Ed: “This is the largest amount of offshore wind procured in any auction ever in Britain or indeed Europe” 🥳🏆

In Westminster Hall for a debate on Science and Discovery Centres - great to hear MPs cross party agreeing on their importance and the need for greater public funding. #STEM #CentreForAltenativeTechology

It beggar's belief But BBC News has now removed today's big climate story from its front page I can find out about mouse droppings discovered at a gym up here in Derbyshire, but nothing at all about the last 3 years being the hottest on record Is this some sort of sick joke? www.bbc.co.uk/news

🚨 A senior leader in a UK party was recently jailed for taking Russian bribes. Before they next go to the polls, the public must be fully informed of the extent of Russian influence in UK politics. The government should have launched a statutory public inquiry in 2024. The next best time is today.

Never again should anyone have to watch their loved one die on a trolley in a hospital corridor. Today, @eddavey.libdems.org.uk has set out our plans to end the scandal of 12-hour waits and corridor care in A&E. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Europeans’ ‘psychological bias’ to climate change risks slowing down progress, warns study | Euronews www.euronews.com/green/2026/0...

Breaking NYT: The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter. The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status. That is a war crime called "perfidy."

They are clueless. Desperate to do something, anything, to promote “growth” irrespective of evidence of the need to address our nature and climate crisis, just as vulnerable to the lobbying of the awful housing industry as their corrupt predecessors.

Of course, because Starmer and co. care nothing for nature "the government is bringing forward legislation that could negatively affect the environment....planning and infrastructure bill.....could allow developers to build on currently protected nature sites" www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Under Trump's watch, a DHS agent shot a protestor in the face with a non-lethal round at close range, fractured his skull, and then dragged him around as he choked and bled. He is now permanently blind in his left eye.

NEW RESEARCH: Large-scale heat pumps could supply up to 60% of Germany’s district heating by 2045. New EWI Cologne analysis shows capacity rising sixfold by 2030, a shift to water and wastewater, and real-world costs still above many estimates. www.ewi.uni-koeln.de/de/publikati...

I'm going to boost this again tonight because it gets forgotten so often. When people choose at the ballot box, they choose the Lib Dems, as we start to think about the local election campaigns for May 2026, this is going to be the story. Let's hope that the media start paying attention.
