Cnut 2026. Rogue US President legislates against science. How’s that going to go 🤔

Daisy Cooper, "The European Union is right on our doorstep and you just can't fight geography" "For the benefit of our country, to get Britain growing again so we can end the cost of living crisis, we have got to get a better deal with the European Union" #RejoinEU

They really should stop calling it green energy schemes, and start calling it energy security schemes.

At last … Plans that look towards community energy resilience. Let’s build that in now Ps @edmilibandmp.bsky.social we re going to need a bigger ‘float’ (ie more than 1bn ) and a better grid www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The "Walk for Peace" monks are in Washington today. "On Tuesday, the monks will complete 108 days of walking. It's a sacred number in Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism. It represents spiritual completion, cosmic order and the wholeness of existence."

The group of Buddhist monks is set to reach Washington, D.C., on foot Tuesday. The monks in their saffron robes have become fixtures on social media, along with their rescue dog Aloka. n.pr/45WkCB4

The new political focus on nature security Looks a lot like Survival Ecology, in essence Although Government still needs to make the leap in their thinking to the acknowledge the radical action needed www.frontiersin.org/journals/con...

Indeed. But the problem is that Starmer is a principles-free empty vessel, just waiting to be filled

This 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

If Mandelson is being investigated for his Epstein connections, he must also be investigated for his Thiel connections, because they ran a joint fund when Mandelson fixed Starmer's visit to Palantir bylinetimes.com/2025/04/25/p...

Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’ 1/

Starmer went wrong when he chose McSweeney over Sue Gray early in the administration. She had integrity and imagination - a lot of great policies were being considered in a lot of different gov departs. The country’s suffered from Mandelson s sidekick :- case in point letting Palantir in.

Like Dominic Cummings, Morgan McSweeney helped deliver electoral victory but, in doing so, debased and subverted everything his party claimed to stand for.

Jeffrey Epstein survivors speak out #SuperBowl #SuperBowl2026 #SuperBowlXL "I was 14" "I was 16" "I was 16" "17" "14" "There are about a thousand of us" "It's time to bring the secrets out of the shadows" "It's time to shine a light into the darkness" "Release all of the Epstein files"

Boycott USA. Live without Amazon for example. There was a time.

Gent in black, "Isn't the issue really about how people like Mandelson has got through the system" #BBCQT "Doesn't that make the case for having people in the Houses of Parliament who are ordinary people"

Say what…?

If this was tv show the plot would be too crass to commission. One of broligarchy sacking Pulitzer Prize winners to foster misinformation and plain stupidly at the time when our very earth systems are in dire trouble. @carolecadwalla.bsky.social www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/washington...

Et tu Andrew! The former prince abused his position to push Epstein s interests. All emails appear to have been sent when Mountbatten-Windsor served as special representative for UK trade and investment – a role he held from 2001 until 2011. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

The burying of this extremely concerning report on the likely effects of climate change is a national disgrace. @elliechowns.bsky.social @werahobhouse.org.uk @rozsavage.bsky.social @labourlewis.bsky.social @barrygardiner.bsky.social Thank you @adrianramsay.bsky.social

Last night's Newsnight was totally compelling viewing. @zackpolanski.bsky.social was morally serious about the perilous position not only of #KeirStarmer but of politics & democracy. Backbench MP @barrygardiner.bsky.social was apoplectic about the position the government is in over #Mandelson

This shows a shocking complacency and lack of knowledge on the part of MP @kerrymccarthy.bsky.social here critiqued by a scientist @mikebernerslee.bsky.social @kevinclimate.bsky.social @carbonbrief.org

Final line is key -Gov s contracts with Peter Thiel’s surveillance giant puts British citizens in jeopardy: They…were particularly concerned about Mandelson’s contact with the US tech firm Palantir, which has secured government contracts and which Starmer visited when last in Washington DC.

@wesstreeting.bsky.social is on BBC Today programme saying Peter Mandelson let us down but Streeting himself let Mandelson bring Palantir into our NHS. Mandelson let Epstein know about Government plans post 2008 financial crisis but this government allows companies to abuse our water companies

Steve Bannon has said that ICE agents will "surround the polls" at the midterm elections in November.

Was the biodiversity report suppressed? ‘The Times reported that No 10 had blocked the report's release owing to fears it could be considered too negative. A government source did not dispute this interpretation when asked by BBC’ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

New standards in politics should include a ceiling for how much politicians can earn besides their MP salary. #HonestPolitics

The UK media is a fortress accessible to vested interests but not open to expressing common sense views of the British public like the need to act on biodiversity loss, to get free of fossil fuels or not to support genocides. We need an #honestmedia for an #honestpolitics.

Starmer and co have just sneaked out the until now suppressed national security report on the climate and ecological crisis It's grim, but it is only a few pages long and doesn't look like the full report When are we going to see the rest of it Mr Starmer www.gov.uk/government/p...

The Government has been sitting on this stunning awful news and only just released the report. Turns out the ‘eco zealots’ are right. NOW will they do something to address the issue? @joshfwd.bsky.social @seaninsound.threads.net.ap.brid.gy
