I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Help us to end new coal mining in England. Take action now. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/help...

It's funny how someone said "family voting" and everyone just assumed it meant Muslims.

Is "sectarian" the new Islamophobic dog whistle?

Thank god. A great win for Hannah Spencer and the Greens, for #GortonAndDenton and for progressive voters. Made even greater by the huge Reform sulk. And the fact that the hateful Goodwin got whooped. Now Labour, look to your left because you will not win from the right. We’re sick of that failure.

Farage asking to hold fire, put the brakes on, take a deep breath, let the process do its thing, calls for transparency over Andrew MountPratten. Worried, Nigel? #politicslive

গর্টন আর ডেন্টন আমরা সবাই মিলে তৈরি করেছি। আর আমাদের সবার এখানে থাকার অধিকার আছে। 'Gorton and Denton was built by all of us, and we all deserve to belong' এই বৃহস্পতিবার শুধুমাত্র গ্রীন পার্টিকে ভোট দিয়েই রিফর্মের হিংসাত্মক রাজনীতিকে হারানো যেতে পারে। Only a Green vote can defeat Reform's hate this Thursday.

If I was part of the 21% I know what I’d do

It’s like a fine wine…

Heartbreaking: Right now, thousands of Puffins are washing up along our coasts and further afield. It is devastating to see. These birds are Red-listed in the UK and already under serious pressure. Mass deaths like this, known as a “seabird wreck”, can take years for colonies to recover from...

Suella Braverman was Attorney General when the Conservative Party “cancelled” 247 local elections in 2021. These Reform UK MPs are hypocrites.

Reform’s Matt Goodwin, candidate in the Gorton & Denton by-election, received a salary from a Far Right propaganda group linked to Hungary’s Orban. Details below.

Fixed that headline for you: ‘One (1) farmer who farms 1,000 acres doesn’t like rewilding, we’ve made that the basis of our headline in a classic example of false balance. PS everyone else in the story loves the idea of the Wildlife Trusts buying the Rothbury Estate’ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Big Oil and their paid mouthpieces in Parliament, Tufton Street, and the media want to keep us hooked on fossil fuels, but a different, cleaner, more optimistic Britain is possible, if only we have to courage to seize it with both hands…👇 youtu.be/i4ct0TQvCX4?...

Well played Scotland. See it’s not so hard, especially if you’re not under the thumb of property developers who can’t bare to add £20 on to the cost of building a house.

We ran high-level US civil war simulations. Minnesota is exactly how they start www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

“Ministers have failed to grasp the underlying issue which is corporate greed. The only people who will be paying for this are customers and billpayers.” Spot on from Feargal Sharkey 👇

Yes! Move over #traitors this is what I actually pay my license fee for 💚

"And we now have María on the line who would like to swap a Nobel Peace Prize for the presidency of Venezuela..."

Fascinating insight to the ongoing challenges to #beaver reintroduction in England and Wales #rewilding podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t... Very disappointed to hear that there is no management plan, but not really surprised

BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped. The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists.

Every year I swear I’ll start later, but here we are again! #allotments, #cauliflower and (I’m not even got them in my plan) #onions

My Christmas present, hand made by my wonderful gf. #woodpecker. Although I think this is an American variety and I would have preferred one native to the uk. I’ve not mentioned this fact to her 🤫😆

Yay, I’m #carbonneutral this year (if the claims of #treeapp are true). That’s from watching nearly 365 adverts - most of which involved a king suffering a gruesome death after my refusal to interact with some mobile game, but as I’m no royalist that was fine by me

It's ridiculous that the Government *still* haven't banned the sale of peat. Peat bogs are still getting dug up and used for compost and in horticulture. Ministers say they'll ban it 'when time allows'. Get on with it already! Sign the petition: actnow.peatfreepartnership.org.uk/end-peat-sal...

This Government once vowed to be “the most nature-positive [we have] ever had”. Months of blaming wildlife and stripping back protections have already made a mockery of that promise. And if the rumoured cuts to BNG go ahead, it will deal yet another devastating blow to nature.

Next week we're hosting an event in Parliament called “Animals Farmed: Misinformation and Honest Labelling”. Alongside our friends at @humaneworlduk and the @AnimallawFDN we'll be calling on MPs to back transparent food labels. Ask your MP to attend: https://bit.ly/4r5d6wC

I wonder why they deem immigration worthy of a “Special”, but not climate change, or countless other issues of great concern?

Their screams are like music to my audio receptors #mansiontax

We kept the receipts. These comments, taken together, paint a picture of the man he is today.

What a wonderful antidote to the rampant commercialism of this time of year … “The darkness around me feels inhabited, companionable.” Lovely stuff from @nicwilson.bsky.social

Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal. We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

As former UKIP MEP denies accepting Russian bribes, a reminder that #NigelFarage was "thick as thieves" with another Brexiter who was convicted of that crime. @goldbergradio.bsky.social with @peterjukes.bsky.social @bylinetimes.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/f...

Played this budget game. Dead easy and more than happy with my budget The main points being: High band income tax 45% Impose gambling tax Abandon 2 kid 🧢 Tax high value homes more Close cap gains loopholes Tax bank profits Have a 🥃 Now where’s me 💼? www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-...

#COP30 fails by design yet again. Any system that can take action only on the agreement of all, with never deliver meaningful change. It’s time to ditch it and get on with positive action through a coalition of those that actually believe in it and leave the blockers behind

Gill’s conviction for taking Kremlin money is yet more evidence of Russian influence in our politics, as the Russia report itself found. So when will Ministers finally investigate this wider interference? Why are we forced to pursue it in court? @carolecadwalla.bsky.social

Michael Gove on claims of a bad culture in No. 10 during the pandemic: "The business of govt can't be carried on in the manner of a Jane Austen novel". As so often, this assumes that the macho, hyper-aggressive style of Cummings & co produces better decisions. All the evidence suggests the reverse

The catastrophic illegal waste dumping in Oxfordshire (see next post) is a direct result of the deregulation-by-stealth I wrote about in 2021, when my dead goldfish became a registered waste disposer. I warned it would let the mafia in. And here we are.🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I’m veggie but unfortunately my kids aren’t so I’ll definitely try to use the Co Op more

Today, Co-op announced that it will meet its 100% cage-free commitment across its continental meat range by the end of the year - removing the use of sow stalls & farrowing crates. 👏 In 2018, Co-op banned cages for its fresh pork & now they've extended this.

My fav #rewilding podcast now available on you tube too. This one is looking into the plans for sea grass and oyster restoration on Britains Atlantic coast youtu.be/wqDLvxz2N7Q?...

Former MPs who then go on to work for lobbying firms should be banned from holding a parliamentary pass. I don't care whether they want a haircut or a "cuppa with old colleagues." It's not as if I have a pass from any of my old workplaces still. @spotlightcorruption.org right to call this out.
