The global food system is systemically fragile in the same way that the global financial system was before the 2008 crash. If it goes it down, we’re looking, as complex societies, at a potential termination event. This week's column. Please read it. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Fascinating discovery that blows a giant hole in the "we can genetically engineer drought-resistant plants" claim. Water, soil, plants are a complex, integrated system @gmwatch.bsky.social #PlanetaryBoundaries phys.org/news/2026-03...

"Back when the science community used to deny climate change... Human caused climate change was looked skeptically for decades.... then the fact driven data forced all honest science literate skeptics to concede ..." www.facebook.com/groups/96164... via The Climate Realism Community

Most of the media reflects neither reality nor public opinion. It reflects the views and demands of those who own it: the Oligarch Class. They employ editors and journalists to channel their demands and sell their fictions. Hence the endless attacks on net zero. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"UK Government decided not to get involved with Iran War. OKEY - if you want us to believe you, close Fairfied airfield to USA long range bombers & B22s. These are attack planes loaded with massive bombs at Fairfield. No more access to USA bombers in UK soil!" via Halit Ece

@joannechocolat.bsky.social R4 just now, ‘novelists have a greater grasp of consciousness than scientists.’

Measles rates: Deeply concerning www.mirror.co.uk/news/health/...

Reform wailing over animals on banknotes, ignorant of the fact the design is changed every 10 yrs or so to foil counterfeiters.

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

'A study has found...' suggests we haven't known and ignored this for decades... www.theguardian.com/environment/...

When did we accept, without question, that Israel has the right to annex parts of other countries?

Why, BBC, are you platforming Farage as if he’s the leader of the Opposition? FYI he’s the leader of a minority party which has never been in govt and he has never held Cabinet office.

I don't think people understand just how BAD it would be if Donald Trump won in Iran. He would invade Cuba. He would invade Greenland. While Israel will invade Lebanon which they already doing, Syria, Jordan and anywhere else they like. Then they will push China into WW3.

Have we become Airstrip One?

People are still arguing if the US/Israel strike on Iran was legal or not. It wasn't Under the official rules you are supposed to declare War before any hostile action Even under the 'pre-emptive strike' laws we made up in 2002 for Iraq you need to be under immediate threat

A new study by researchers at Cardiff University shows a massive broadcast media bias (including by the institutionally transphobic BBC) against the Green Party and others and disproportionate coverage in favour of Reform… nation.cymru/feature/why-...

And the job of Starmer's fake Labour Party is to put in place all the authoritarian tools (ie Palantir) and then hand over to Farage. Its the same billionaire and corporate money behind Labour, Reform and Tory. They put on a different theatrical show but core policies are the same.

Emin exhibition at Tate: she can’t draw, paint, etch, sculpt or throw a pot, yet the art establishment thinks she’s wonderful. Pathetic.

#ClimateChange is caused by human greenhouse gas emissions. We’re causing #globalwarming 100 times faster than past natural changes We are taking Earth’s climate beyond natural limits with carbon dioxide & temperatures levels not seen for 3 million years. #ActOnClimate

This is quite a scandal, which shouldn’t be lost in the glare of the Andrew/Mandelson/Epstein drama. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

These people in the Epstein conspiracy are depraved. The whole lot should be on trial, their crimes exposed and then jailed for life.

Western citizens who have lived through the largest wealth transfer from the bottom to the top in history genuinely believe that an immigrant took everything from them, rather than the hyper-capitalist bastards who really robbed them blind.

Reform will demand a platform at Bangor University which they weren't offered, but repeatedly deny politically-meaningful ones which they were.

This is the level of disrespect and ignorance about the environment from this government “chancellor, Rachel Reeves, boasted to corporate executives that she has “unblocked” a large housing development in Sussex being held up by “some snails … a protected species or something …”

Enough is enough. The House of Lords is a rolling scandal - sign @electoralreform.bsky.social‬'s call to demand change. It takes 30 seconds. action.electoral-reform.org.uk/page/186062/...

Israeli and Russian interference is all part of the same thing. Its transnational organised crime and they play triangulation games.

Pleased to see the jury make this decision. We need to have eyes wide open this is exactly why the Government wants to abolish juries. People protesting against a genocide are not the criminals here - it's the politicians who continue to provide cover. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I’ve always thought Mandelson despicable, it now seems he conspired with Epstein to change our laws- so he’s a traitor.

There you have it. Labour want Reform to do well. Never. Ever. Ever vote Labour again. These people gained power for the sake of it and are desperate to keep power at any cost. Even at the cost of the country falling to Farage in the end. Labour don’t care.

Why is the BBC not reporting the massive demonstrations against ICE?

The stranglehold of the oligarchs over social, economic and political life must be broken through the expropriation of their wealth and their control over the forces of production. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

If Labour won’t nationalise water, their “big overhaul” is a con. Sewage in our rivers. Bills going up. Profits protected. Public services should be in public hands.

@grassfuse.bsky.social I was RAMC ‘67-‘78, visited Netley.

Beware distractions: boat people , ID cards, trans people ..all designed to prevent you from addressing the real problems: billionaires, transnationals paying no tax, utilities companies, corruption.

Yet another huge contract, awarded without any competitive bidding process, to Wes Streeting's favourite NHS supplier, the Hard Right US surveillance tech specialists Palantir, for military decision making capability.

If the House Republicans had any guts, they'd hold an emergency impeachment vote on Trump today. If the Senate Republicans had any guts, they'd convict Trump of violating the Constitution tomorrow. The Constitution means nothing it if it can be ignored with impunity.

Reform UK won’t say ‘private’ when talking about healthcare. Richard Tice uses ‘independent’: "Instead of giving £26bn to the already bloated wasteful NHS, we proposed easing pressure on the health service by incentivising those who can afford to pay more to go independent with a tax break."

Why Do Governments Hate Juries? Because They Have Consciences The jury is the counterweight to the appalling lack of diversity in the rest of the justice system, and this is clear from the measurable outcomes. novaramedia.com/2025/12/22/w...

DEFENDING TRIAL BY JURY A brilliant and informative piece from @sarachitseko.bsky.social @openrightsgroup.org “Jury trials are not just a procedural detail, they are the cornerstone of democracy. They… provide a crucial check on state power.” www.openrightsgroup.org/blog/defendi...

The Labour Government refused a 1% asset tax on the super rich, yet raised taxes on people already struggling. All whilst their "black hole" turned out to be utter nonsense. Active choices to refuse to fund our communities which they desperately need. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Rachel Reeves says this Labour Governments decisions are "necessary." Why is it always necessary to hit the living standards of the 99%? When are we going to make the necessary decisions about extreme wealth?

The right to trial by jury has been a fundamental feature of the British Justice System for over 800 years. Any attempt by the government to undermine this fundamental freedom - a cornerstone of our democracy and an essential safeguard against authoritarianism - must be opposed

Blatant corruption
