Keir Starmer's aides are reportedly telling him not to go to the COP30 climate conference, because Reform would attack him for it. Yes, they might. And he should wear it as a badge of honour. Standing up for humanity, for science and a habitable planet. Where's the hazard in that?

Breaking: Trump signed a memorandum today launching what he called a crackdown on “domestic terrorism,” focusing on Antifa and left-wing groups. He described protests, particularly Portland, as the work of “professional agitators” funded by rich leftists like George Soros and possibly Reid Hoffman.

There's no point in our governments setting 'ambitious' emissions reduction targets if they won't actually take reducing emissions seriously. Expanding fossil fuels and relying on bogus carbon credits is NOT taking it seriously. @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

The "sensible centre" is not the same as evidence-based policy. With online gambling, junk food advertising or incarcerating children, evidence of harm is clear, but centrist positions are defined by politics rather than evidence. This Friday, join @richarddenniss.bsky.social for a free webinar ⤵️

A month ago, the famine in Gaza, deliberately created by the Israeli government, was officially confirmed by UN agencies. Since then, there has been an eerie silence in the media here, with far fewer reports than there were before. But it hasn't ended. On the contrary, it has intensified.

10/ Call for Uniting for Peace Resolution for Gaza Petro explicitly called for invoking the Uniting for Peace mechanism at the UN General Assembly to bypass U.S. vetoes. He said Gaza can no longer rely on blocked diplomacy, and urged member states to vote for a powerful international force...

8/ Warning & Bolívar’s cry: “Liberty or death.” Petro’s speech wove together Gaza, drugs, migration, climate, and UN reform into one big final warning: *The survival of humanity requires choosing life over greed.*

4/ On Colombia’s progress: Petro contrasted his record with U.S. violence: ▪️ Lowest homicide growth in decades ▪️ Poverty and unemployment at century lows ▪️ Agriculture growing 10% annually ▪️ 25,000 hectares of coca eradicated voluntarily “We seek peace—even speaking with narcos—to save lives.”

3/On the war on drugs: “They said missiles in the Caribbean were to stop drugs. A lie. In 2023 and 2024, Colombia seized record cocaine and extradited 700 narcos—without firing a single missile or killing a single youth.” He argued U.S.'s drug war is about colonial domination, not public health...

Elections have given us oligarchy for 200 years. It’s time for the people themselves to rule. 📖 My piece in the New Statesman: www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...

AUKUS ties us ever closer to an increasingly volatile and aggressive America. Add your name to the petition for Australia to conduct an inquiry into AUKUS, something the US and UK are already doing. ✍️ theaus.in/AUKUS_inquiry #auspol

Our so-called two-party system delivers these grim choices: - a LNP opposition with no climate policy, who is probably dominated by climate deniers, or - a fossil-fueled Labor government who says they are taking real climate action, but ignores the science. Australians deserve better. #auspol

Highly recommend ABC #4Corners report on the Plymouth Brethren by @milliganreports.bsky.social. The trauma suffered by every one of the people who've escaped this cult is tragic. I hope they receive the comfort and support they need and deserve. 😔 #religion #auspol iview.abc.net.au/show/four-co...

Excellent from @keanebernard.bsky.social. Albanese govt's policy paralysis on both the #ClimateCrisis and #AUKUS is even worse with a huge majority and a dud Opposition. Now is the time for national leadership. Instead of the business-as-usual subservience to the US and fossil fuel lobby. #auspol

“It is troubling if, in Australia, public medical institutions cannot host discussions of humanitarian and medical consequences of war”. It is even more troubling that yet another Australian institution buckles to #ZionistMcCarthyism. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Just three days after approving an extension of one of the largest fossil fuel export projects in the world, the North West Shelf, the National Climate Risk Assessment reveals the devastating consequences facing Australia. #auspol Media release:

If deaths from extreme heat, millions of people in coastal areas hit by flooding doesn't worry our leaders, maybe this will: "losses in property value could increase to $611bn by 2050, rising to $770bn by 2090". What's a real climate target? No new coal and gas. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

We're excited to announce @stevenjmiles.bsky.social will be speaking at our Revenue Summit! As Premier of Qld, he pulled off the gutsy move of hiking coal royalties, showing it is possible to raise more money from mining companies to benefit the community. 🎟️ events.humanitix.com/revenue-summ...

It’s probably worth flagging the fact that the president of the United States is promoting the establishment of a Ministry of Truth to restrict speech in a suggested law called the “Charlie Kirk Act”. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/trump-prom...

The focus on the ‘sensible centre’ has created a bad map where the road leads to nowhere, ignoring evidence when convenient and stifling democratic debate. “The evidence tells us to do all sorts of things like stop building new gas and coal.” - Richard Denniss @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

The Israeli Government has made an ad about the Global Sumud Flotilla headed for Gaza, and it's surprsingly honest and informative.

I’ve written in the New Statesman why voting isn’t democracy — and why the working class deserve 50% of the power, not 5%. It’s time to face the truth: elections are oligarchy. The answer is sortition. www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...

99.9% of all species which have ever existed are now extinct. Only human exceptionalism makes our own demise seem impossible in climate-ecological collapse - “Nature can adapt. But not overnight. Adaptation takes time, and time is exactly what we no longer have.” #TalkCollapse
