the end of traitors made me cry. yessssss I am so glad they won and Rachel gets to take her Mum on holiday 😭😭😭

Amen! there’re incredible things already happening run by amazing ppl, protecting&building spaces that are crucial & great for their communities. I’ve met some of these ppl recently & each has blown me away. @caitprowle.bsky.social ’s @coopparty.party.coop Community Britain campaign all about this!

There have been a few common (non awful) reactions to Blobby, some of which have made me chuckle: 1) it’s twee, which I explicitly talk about in the piece - I don’t think all “soft” culture-y stuff is twee and my refs are grounded in the working class/lower middle class culture & place I grew up

The racists on X have found this piece, via a wonderful piece @jeevunsandher.bsky.social has written for @renewaljournal.bsky.social. Mostly I just feel sad for them that they see Britain as a cruel & horrible place with no joy but the level of hatred & abuse on X is awful bsky.app/profile/rene...

If anyone lost this cute little bunny while out and about in London yesterday, I handed it into TFL

"There's been this kind of narrative that you're either a denier or an activist, that's just not true." "We should be worried about the public consensus. We need to see much more comms for the people in between." @sofiejenkinson.bsky.social #GAevent

Panel 1 | How can we tell a more effective story on climate change to accelerate action? Ft Lilah Howson-Smith, Rachael Orr ( @climateoutreach.bsky.social ), @sofiejenkinson.bsky.social ( @roundourwayuk.bsky.social ) + Asad Rehman ( @friends-earth.bsky.social ) #GAevent

"We turn toward other people when they need it and take the piss out of them when they don’t." The unofficial British motto of us at our best. Fab piece by @sofiejenkinson.bsky.social: renewal.org.uk/blog/mr-blob...

"Most of us basically love our country, even if begrudgingly – not the version we’re told to, or even presented with, but the one we really see and live in every day. Silly Sausage Britain is the Britain most of us reside in, and love." @sofiejenkinson.bsky.social on "Mr Blobby patriotism"

As I was speaking on panels at Labour conference last week I began to describe the Britain I know exists and love. In the end I gave it a name: Mr Blobby Patriotism And I’ve written about it for @renewaljournal.bsky.social here bsky.app/profile/rene...

Discussing how we communicate climate impacts to the public effectively, "authenticity is one of the most important things over the next four years" says @sofiejenkinson.bsky.social

Growth and delivery is the mechanism by which we get to the outcome we want to see but we also need to tell a clear and passionate story that people connect to, says @sofiejenkinson.bsky.social We need to set out clearly why we want to deliver on issues.

Next up at the LCEF x Anacta Hub at #LAB25 is our panel event, "Further and Faster: The Politics of Deliverism"

Today I am v excited to be speaking on the @hopenothate.org.uk panel at 1pm in Marquee Theatre 2 on The Deck talking all about Reform-curious Labour voters and how climate fits into it all. Come join us!

Shopping for suits as a woman is so annoying. when will someone sort this out. I want @bethrigby.bsky.social to have her own suit collection somewhere that I can just shop from. because rn I can’t find anyone to give my money to!

noooo! You’re joking? *looks at the Newsnight presenting and politics team* Noooo!!! I can’t believe it *looks at the Lobby* well well well www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Reform might not think they need a climate policy, but they're going to need a flood risk one - their consituents are literally going to be underwater. Land below annual flood level in 2030 - Kent, Lincolnshire, Doncaster, Southport coastal.climatecentral.org/map/5/0.9412...

genuinely beyond annoyed and, I think fairly angry, at how the NHS deal with ADHD diagnosis and, tbh, mental health stuff generally. because I don’t meet the threshold of need for my depression and anxiety I’ve been paying for my own care for yrs. I was told there was a 4yr wait for ADHD diagnosis

Trust in national politics is broken. But pride in community is strong, and people want more say over what happens where they live. Our new report with @hopenothate.org.uk makes the case: If we want to change how people feel about politics, we have to start where hope still exists.

We are excited to annouce that *Renewal - a journal of social democracy* has relaunched with a new publisher, a new editorial team, and a newly-revamped website. Our relaunch issue is now available here to both new and existing subscribers: renewal.org.uk/journal/volu...

We did a @roundourwayuk.bsky.social story with @seabrookclimate.bsky.social & Sky News this week on the impacts of hot weather on pregnant people and newborns with findings from new @climatecentral.org work bsky.app/profile/seab...

Tony Blair is wrong about net zero for a number of reasons but the chief amongst them is that he is wrong about where the public are, as are Reform. One look at @PersuasionUK.bsky.social new work from @SteveAkehurst.bsky.social illustrates this bsky.app/profile/stev...

New analysis out today from @persuasionuk.bsky.social is excellent and well worth your time - some essential insights into how Labour can and should keep its coalition together bsky.app/profile/stev...

I’ve got tickets for The Years later and can’t go because I’m ill - if you want them, let me know

Concerning article from the Sun on Sunday today on Rosebank, where the writer and Labour sources quoted clearly don’t quite grasp the economics of the oil and gas industry... maybe this thread can help 👇 archive.ph/Veh5p

The new issue of @renewaljournal.bsky.social is out (journals.lwbooks.co.uk/renewal/vol-... ) & I have a piece in it about how to communicate on the climate. Despite what some people want us to believe most people in the country care about &are concerned about the environment....

This interactive map in @dailymail.co.uk shows which areas have been most affected by potholes. #NationalPotholeDay www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/...
