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

Unhook ourselves from oil and gas and we unhook ourselves from dependency on dictators, autocrats and expansionist regimes all over the planet. Renewables and other low-carbon energy sources are not just good climate sense. They are also good political sense.

Protesters snatched from the streets after being interviewed on TV. This isn't some foreign dictatorship. This is the United States.

🔴Trump’s ‘Donroe Doctrine’ Is an Existential Threat to NATO and Europe The US President’s plans to capture Greenland pose a grave threat to Europe’s future that its leaders can no longer afford to ignore, argues @nixonsimon.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2026/01/06/d...

Poly Toynbee says what I think. Why can’t those in government, or even the various opposition. If they can,, what is holding them back?

I think she is right.

Brits will keep paying far too much for energy until the govt addresses the massive inefficiency and waste in the energy system. @gjuk.bsky.social on @martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com #MartinLewis

This study predicts UK energy spending to halve by 2050, as part of our ‘rush’ to net zero….:) Five years ago I flagged this incredible fact in my book Manifesto - we spend £50 billion a year to bring oil and gas into our country - just to burn it. Good to see it in this study. buff.ly/OBwYgKG

“With the Government taking aim at First Past the Post for mayors it’s hard to see how they could justify inaction on the voting system for Westminster. It would look like double standards: fairer elections for mayors, no such worry for MPs.” 🌹 #Labour4PR @labourlist.bsky.social

The EU needs to step up and create legislative changes that expand the circular economy at the local level. 📝 A coalition of leading European cities, such as Amsterdam, Milan, Malmö, Copenhagen, Turku, and Porto, has published a new policy brief asking EU institutions to do just this!

Just received news that 27 people have been arrested in Parliament Square under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action". This is real police state behaviour.

We’re heading into dangerous territory. Only 1 in 10 people trust the government to put the country first. We're calling on the Prime Minister to act now to stop trust in politics collapsing any further. Sign the letter now. secure.unlockdemocracy.org.uk/page/173722/...

I think about the collapse of insect life all the time. It is the aspect of climate change that causes me the most grief, because its consequences are too immense to consider.

I really feel like a hugely underrated factor in our politics is "everyone in Westminster and the broader media assumes newspapers represent the range of public opinion, as opposed to the range of public opinion who still buy newspapers". Yet another thing pushing us towards gerontocracy.

"If the trade situation continues to deteriorate with tariffs in the United States, in that scenario will you look again at options to deepen trade cooperation with Europe?" asks @liambyrnemp.bsky.social. Good to see Nick Thomas-Symmonds confirm that pragmatism will be the overriding principle. ~AA

Douglas Alexander: "#Brexit has not only inhibited cross-Channel trade to the EU, but risks making the UK a more closed economy... There was a post-Covid manufacturing boom globally, where the UK effectively just missed out. We were judged to be more challenging to do business with." ~AA

We are facing a dramatic acceleration of global warming. Trend of global temperature in 2000 compared to 2024. 24 years ago models predicted +1.5 °C in 2041, today in 2030. Well, we already temporarily reached this threshold...

People have no idea what they’ve done by electing Trump Reminder we are now at 1.5 C
